Great news: Mayor Zohran Mamdani is breaking another campaign promise, and the city is safer for it.<\/p>\n

Per NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, \u201cconversations have not yet commenced\u201d on the mayor\u2019s dangerous plan to move actual cops off of working mental-health calls in favor of social workers or other civilians.<\/p>\n

This insane idea formed the conceptual keystone of Mamdani\u2019s proposed Department of Community Safety.<\/p>\n

Yet he\u2019s already set it up not as a \u201cDepartment\u201d but an \u201cOffice\u201d status and kitted out with nothing more than a couple of sinecures for political allies, and now it looks like the \u201cstop cops from dealing with potentially violent crazy people\u201d plan is completely on ice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that Mamdani, despite his loud public obeisance to every lefty nostrum imaginable, understands the reality here: Thanks to Tisch and New York\u2019s Finest, crime in Gotham is headed down.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the NYPD numbers released Wednesday show record lows for murders, shootings and shooting victims over the first five months of 2026, with particular gains against major crimes in The Bronx and in public housing citywide.<\/p>\n

Deliberately<\/em> undermining all that would be politically suicidal; so congrats to the mayor for backing off \u2014 as he\u2019s done on many other fronts, from his vow to ax the NYPD\u2019s Strategic Response Group and gang databases to his support for the class-size law and expanding housing vouchers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an admirable pattern, where Mamdani betrays his core supporters \u2014 to the betterment of the whole city.\u00a0<\/p>\n
