Mayor Eric Adams and officials with the NYPD and the Department of Small Business Services (SBS) were in Brooklyn Tuesday to tout the reduction in crime and to launch a new crime-prevention initiative that aims to offer resources to at-risk residents.
In an effort to cut crime, the city is taking a SBS truck to communities most impacted by gun violence. Starting in Brownsville on Nov. 14, the mobile unit is offering resources, such as employment opportunities.
