NEW YORK — As New York City reels from a series of shocking crimes, Mayor Eric Adams says he may hire more police officers.
“If we need to hire more, darn it, we’re going to hire more, and nothing is going to get in the way of that,” he told WABC in an interview that aired Sunday.
The Democratic mayor said before taking that step, he’ll analyze “how we are deploying what we have” and assign officers “sitting behind the desk” to patrol duty.
