New York Mayor Bill de Blasio unveiled his plan to decrease police presence in the city's schools on Thursday.
New York, NY – New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced a plan to decrease police presence in the city’s schools by limiting the situations in which law enforcement will be allowed to respond to matters that arise on school grounds.
De Blasio unveiled his plan on Thursday, flanked by Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza, WABC reported.
According to the mayor and school officials, police have historically issued too many citations to Hispanic and black children for crimes they’ve committed.
"Police presence in schools and a zero-tolerance disciplinary approach make students feel like criminals in their own classrooms," Education Policy Center Director Johanna told WABC.
Under de Blasio’s new policy, New York Police Department (NYPD) officers must avoid citing or arresting students “whenever possible” for so-called “low level” law violations such as disorderly conduct, marijuana possession, and vandalism, WABC reported.
Students can only be arrested on school grounds for offenses that occurred off school property in cases of sex offenses, felonies, and “crimes where there is an immediate risk of escape or where the perpetrator is apprehended in hot pursuit,” according to the policy.

What could go wrong?
Sheer insanity and dangerous.
A better rule would be: whenever necessary.
Not everyone there would agree with you.
Perhaps he’ll restrict how they respond to everyday crimes. Maybe he’ll disarm the popo.
Is sounds like he basically turned over the schools to the gangs.
Complete idiot.
Not like some nikolas Cruz wannabe, looking for a school to shoot up is taking note of this. NYC has some.of the strictest gun laws on the planet, no worries /extreme sarc
Announce that his office will be treated the same. It like I always said, they want to own the issue, not save lives. If you are willing to kill a baby, what the hell is a kid to them?
Wouldn’t be simpler to just disband the NYPD?
You’ll be soooory!
This development is how the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School policy created the climate that inflamed the crazed shooter. It was the policy of ‘restorative justice’where schools were instructed to rely less on local police to intervene with trouble-making students and more on “school resource officers” who would focus on “protecting the physical safety of the school … while reducing inappropriate student referrals to law enforcement.” I anticipate more student violence and ultimately, killings.
According to the mayor and school officials, police have historically issued too many citations to Hispanic and black children for crimes they’ve committed.
Did they each get more than one citation for each crime? If not, it's a baldfaced lie.
The same policy which enabled the Douglas High School . Yet again the insanity of the left and Democrats shows again, and they just cannot understand that their failed policies do not work and yet they do it again.
Blacks and Hispanics are breaking the rules more obviously and what part of that can liberals not understand/
This is a local problem for those living in New York City.
They voted for and deserve this douche bag....
I agree.
This smells bad.
Real bad.
IF I lived in that rat-hole, I'd leave in a heart beat.
“This is a local problem for those living in New York City.
They voted for and deserve this douche bag.”
I live here and have to agree with you.
