Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s chief of staff, Elle Bisgaard-Church, told Ayana Harry Dudley on “Inside City Hall” that the mayor remains committed to fulfilling his campaign promise of disbanding the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group. Top NYC officials recently took a trip to Columbus, Ohio, to learn how that city works to deescalate protests using what they call a “Dialogue Unit.” “The mayor is in regular conversation with his police commissioner, and our teams also meet regularly so that we can design something that is best suited to that commitment being fulfilled and not compromising any of the safety and protection that New Yorkers deserve,” Bisgaard-Church said.
