Confronting these challenges, the NYPD remains steadfast in its mission to reduce crime and fight the rising toll of gun violence on the streets of New York City. What can be done on a city and state level to protect New Yorkers from crimes on their streets, their homes, their subways and their places of businesses? What are the mental health and homeless initiatives that are currently in place and what are new ideas? What are the newest laws, technology, and community programs that can make New York safer?
