\u201cI\u2019m confident Dr. Delany-Brumsey will lead the Office of Community Safety with both deep expertise in public health-based practices and deep commitment to community-led solutions,\u201d Mamdani said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the Office of Community Safety, we are developing a coordinated, citywide strategy that ensures every situation gets the right response \u2014 not a one-size-fits-all approach,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Delany-Brumsey will report to Renita Francois, the deputy mayor for community safety, according to the mayor\u2019s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mamdani established the Office of Community Safety in March, with the goal of addressing the \u201croot causes\u201d of crime and working with the NYPD to respond to calls that involve mental health episodes.<\/p>\n
The office will also manage crisis response programs, including B-HEARD, which Delany-Brumsey has experience with in her current role at NYC Health + Hospitals, City Hall said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She previously served as director of behavioral health research and programming at the Mayor\u2019s Office of Criminal Justice under former Mayor Bill de Blasio, where she oversaw the citywide Crisis Prevention and Response Task Force.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am honored and thrilled to lead the Office of Community Safety at a moment when the Mamdani administration is taking on the vital work of building a whole-of-government approach to public safety,\u201d Delany-Brumsey said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mayor Zohran Mamdani has named a commissioner to lead his newly created Office of Community Safety, he announced…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159871,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[109,387,25,3281,9,24,12,63,87,308,134,136,135,27,200],"class_list":["post-222181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-staten-island","tag-app-local-state-politics","tag-app-public-safety","tag-app-top-stories","tag-atlan-hassard","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-politics","tag-public-safety","tag-staten-island","tag-staten-island-headlines","tag-staten-island-news","tag-top-stories","tag-vod"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222181"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222181\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
