In response to the Jan. 21 Harlem shooting that left two officers dead, Mayor Eric Adams has laid out a plan to curb gun violence in the Big Apple this week, and now New Yorkers are weighing in on what has been said to be a comprehensive plan that focuses on information sharing, community involvement, policy changes, and technology improvement.
What’s the plan?
On Jan. 24, Mayor Eric Adams unveiled his “Blueprint to End Gun Violence,” in New York City, which includes changes to State and Federal Laws, enhanced NYPD and mental health initiatives, summer employment opportunities, expanded cash rewards for tipsters who share information on gun-related crime, more surveillance cameras inside businesses, bail reform, and additional help to combat the influx of gun crime.
