What we know is that mayor Adams has been leader in improving the quality of life of all of New Yorkers, improving public safety.

And last fiscal year when I came within the budget, one of the few agencies that got additional dollars, we got 5,300,000.0 additional dollars to hire 100 new TLC police officers.

And like I said in my testimony, we've hired 16 and have exhausted the civil service list and will work towards hiring another 84 TLC police officers to help in the efforts to keep riders safe.
