A new analysis by THE CITY finds NYC police respond to mental health crisis calls 86% of the time, and Mayor Mamdani's reform plan is unlikely to change that.
New York City police officers will likely keep showing up as the first responders to most mental health emergencies even if Mayor Zohran Mamdani builds the new Department of Community Safety he campaigned on, according to an analysis by THE CITY.
The analysis, published February 6, put a number on it: police respond to these kinds of calls roughly 86 percent of the time, and THE CITY concluded that adding more mental health workers is unlikely to change that in most cases.
