In the midst of the Democratic primary race, Mayor Eric Adams faces criticism from opponents regarding his proposal for a $225 million public-safety training facility. He argues the facility, which will serve 16 agencies, is crucial for enhancing public safety and improving the efficiency of law enforcement training. Adams rebuffs claims from rivals who advocate for defunding police, asserting that they misinterpret the budget and the project's purpose. While opponents label the initiative a waste, Adams insists it will unify various law enforcement agencies, fostering collaboration and ultimately benefiting public safety.
"What we are trying to do with this facility is crucial for the law enforcement community and public safety, as we unify training for multiple agencies."
"These are capital dollars, they cannot be used for retention of law enforcement, and this is a misunderstanding by my opponents."
