00:00Mr. Mamdani, how will you make the city safer and how will you change the NYP Day?

00:05Thank you. This is the concern for so many New Yorkers and I'm proud to have a comprehensive plan

00:11to bring new ideas to this city. If you want more of the same, vote for Andrew Cuomo. If you want an

00:16actual approach to lower crime, look at our Department of Community Safety. That is something

00:21that has been hailed by experts as addressing so many of the pieces of why New Yorkers are not

00:26feeling safe today. We will ensure that no longer are police officers asked to do the job of both

00:31policing and responding to the mental health crisis. We will have dedicated teams of mental

00:36health outreach workers in the top 100 subway stations with the highest levels of the mental

00:41health crisis and homelessness. We will ensure that cops can finally go back to the response times

00:47they used to have in 2020 closer to 11 minutes as opposed to the closer to 16 minutes today

00:51because they won't be asked to respond to the 200,000 mental health calls that are coming

00:57in through 9-1-1 every year. This is evidence-based. It's been successful elsewhere in the country.

01:02It's time we deliver it right here in New York City. It's time for a change.
