“Mamdani’s much-hyped major promise to launch a new city 'Department of Community Safety' — with a $1.1 billion dollar price tag — that would have social workers respond to non-violent 911 calls instead of NYPD cops has fallen short of its lofty ambitions.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia entries about Mamdani's mayoralty and election do not mention the 'Department of Community Safety,' its budget, or implementation status. No evidence confirms or contradicts the claim about the department's current state.
