“I was honored to stand with Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch, Attorney General Leticia James, Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez and others at NYPD headquarters to announce the seizure of 4,500 guns from city streets. That is 4,500 guns that will not be used to shoot anybody, kill anybody, rob anybody and most importantly will not destroy anyone’s family. It is about pursuing peace in this city and it only comes through partnerships at all levels of government working together to make sure we get those guns off the street.”

It was a pleasure to visit recently with members of St. Albans Congregational Church and Calvary Baptist Church in Jamaica. I attended both churches to share news from the office on the work we are doing to keep residents safe. Reaching out to our young people is one of my top priorities. My goal is to provide them with opportunities and services before they make a bad a decision that could impact the rest of their lives.
