Strategies for a New Era of Policing and Public Safety in NYC

As Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration rethinks policing in New York City, this panel convenes leading scholars and practitioners to examine what cutting-edge research suggests about improving public safety through police-community interactions. These experts discuss what can be done regarding non-police responses to mental health emergencies, pedestrian stops, procedural justice, substance use crises, and more, when leading with innovation.

Moderated by Jeremy Travis, senior fellow at the CUNY Institute for State & Local Governance (CUNY ISLG) and former president of John Jay College, the discussion will feature Brandon del Pozo, former NYPD precinct commander and Burlington, Vermont, chief of police (alumnus of the CUNY Ph.D. Program in Philosophy); Ayesha Delany-Brumsey, director, Office of Behavioral Health (Community Based Services) at NYC Health + Hospitals; Kathleen Doherty, research project director at CUNY ISLG; and Tracey Meares, Walton Hale Hamilton Professor of Law and founding director of the Justice Collaboratory, Yale Law School.

Presented with the CUNY Institute for State & Local Governance.
