Strategies for a new era of policing and public safety in NYC
Experts discuss current research on police-community relations as New York rethinks public safety under the Mamdani administration.
Why we picked this
With a new mayor rethinking NYPD strategy, this panel brings together former police commanders, public health officials, and legal scholars to debate what evidence-based policing actually looks like in practice.
As Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration reimagines policing in New York City, this hybrid event examines what current research says about improving public safety through police-community interactions. The panel addresses non-police responses to mental health emergencies, pedestrian stops, procedural justice, and substance use crises.
The lineup is unusually well-qualified: Jeremy Travis (former president of John Jay College), Brandon del Pozo (former NYPD precinct commander and Burlington police chief), Ayesha Delany-Brumsey (director of behavioral health at NYC Health + Hospitals), Kathleen Doherty (CUNY ISLG), and Tracey Meares (Walton Hale Hamilton Professor of Law at Yale).
