As New York City continues to grapple with rising crime rates and budget constraints, Queens Council Member Lynn Schulman is taking a stance on the future of the NYPD. In a move that may surprise some, Schulman has come out in support of keeping the city's police headcount flat, rather than implementing the proposed increase of over 1,000 officers. This decision comes as Mayor Eric Adams faces mounting pressure to address the city's growing crime problem, with some advocating for a more aggressive policing strategy. Schulman's stance is likely to spark debate among her colleagues and the public, with some arguing that maintaining the current headcount will hinder the city's ability to effectively combat crime.
