Under Public Safety, are they kidding? What programs are they implementing other than likely buying LEOs new equipment (toys to play with) and investing in the stupid ZeroEyes tech?

FY 2026 Executive Budget Highlights

www.governor.ny.gov www.governor.ny.gov


Public Safety
Fighting Crime and Keeping New Yorkers Safe
As crime rates continue to decline in most parts of New York, Governor Hochul is doubling down on proven crime-fighting investments. These investments include:
  • $370 million for gun violence prevention programs that are proven to drive down crime
  • $290 million to improve the effectiveness of the criminal justice system through investments in law enforcement, prosecutors’ offices and more
  • $77 million for a six-month deployment of two NYPD officers on every New York City subway train between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. and a strengthened law enforcement presence on subway platforms, matched by an additional $77 million from New York City
  • $35 million to protect at-risk sites from hate crimes through the Securing Communities Against Hate Crimes initiative
  • $30 million for volunteer fire departments and emergency medical services (EMS)
  • $13 million to establish a new State Crime Analysis and Joint Special Operations Command Headquarters (CA-JSOC)
  • $8 million to increase State Police presence along the U.S.-Canada border
  • $5 million to hire new enforcement personnel at the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) to continue efforts to crack down on unlicensed sales
  • $5 million for the hiring and training of Drug Recognition Experts and legislation to crack down on drugged driving
  • Legislation to streamline the discovery process to ensure fair trials, end procedural delays and hold criminals accountable

They are stupid. The legislature is fighting hochul to keep it more favorable for criminals. Great idea isn’t it? I hope they ruin their planned break fighting over this.

I remember hearing about that AI gun detection technology recently somewhere. It's really not very difficult to hide an SBR or SMG sized firearm underneath a jacket/coat/long sleeve shirt or partially inside the pants for a short period of time, let along if they have a backpack or something. A couple Glock pistols can be carried very easily with a handful of 30rnd mags concealed too.

If someone is going to go shoot up a place or plans something evil out, I doubt they're ALL stupid enough to just walk into the building or area while already exposing or holding the firearm anyways.

I'd have to wonder how many false detections this tech makes with people holding a black or silver phone or other device in such a way that it resembles a handgun; and would that also be enough grounds to warrant a potenital search for police?

Awesome! That's $370mil that'll never get spent since there are no "gun violence prevention programs" that are proven to do anything except line Democrat pockets.

Only thing on the list that makes any sense to me is the $30 million for volunteer fire departments and EMS.

This entire process should be illegal. How are their laws and bills associated with a budget. Hochul says if you don’t pass what I want then the legislature doesn’t get paid so she has the upper hand. If the budget doesn’t pass none of them get paid expect Hochul for what I understand. That’s extortion to me and that’s a crime.
