In a decisive departure from his position last summer, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will deploy additional New York Police Department officers to the city’s tourist centers following a violent incident last week, and the mayor will also approve a $105 million expenditure for a new police precinct after killing the project in a bid to “defund” the NYPD last year.
De Blasio announced Monday that the NYPD will more closely patrol Times Square as the number of tourists steadily increases — and after three people were wounded in a shooting last weekend.
