City to Increase Traffic Enforcement Revenue While Defunding Police

As city government officials moved to adjust the city budget to the demands of Black Lives Matters protestors, nearly one billion dollars were slashed from the NYPD budget. 

In the process of adjusting NYPD finances, 100 traffic agents will be reassigned to enforcement duties. This switch is anticipated to result in an increased revenue of $42 million.

Other budget moves include transferring control of school safety agents and crossing guards to Department of Education control, canceling the July class of NYPD officers entering training, and reducing overtime.
