Over the last four years, the Adams administration has delivered four on-time, balanced, and fiscally responsible budgets. This year, we continued our record of strong fiscal management with a $115.9 billion Adopted Budget. This record of achievement was built on the Fiscal Year 2026 Executive Budget, often called the “Best Budget Ever.” And earlier this month, we updated the budget with even more investments that will continue to keep our communities safe, improve quality of life, make our city more affordable, and support our young people and older New Yorkers.
Safety is the firm foundation on which all other achievements are built, and the November Plan provides additional funding to put us on track to increase the NYPD’s uniformed headcount by 5,000 officers — bringing the total number of officers to 40,000 in the next three years. This is a massive new investment in our city’s public safety efforts and part of our plan to keep New York City America’s safest big city in the years to come.
