Show Notes
Renita Francoise, appointed as deputy mayor for community safety, will lead a new office focusing on mental health crises and safety issues. She comes from the de Blasio administration and will report directly to Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The office will oversee five existing city units on mental health and justice, aiming to reduce police responses to mental health emergencies. The big goal is to cut police involvement in these calls, which have resulted in twenty-four deaths over the last decade. Francoise will review call routing and explore more funding and capacity for the B-HEARD program.
