Eric Adams in 2010-2020 Mayor's Press Releases

On Crime: I'll have cops' backs, but they'll have backs of the people

Asked what he would say to officers who are angry about calls to defund their departments, Adams said, "I say to my officers, 'If you don't want to be on the street anymore, then get off my streets.' I don't want to hear someone say, because they don't like what government is doing, you're not going to protect my public. No." He promised, "I'm going to have the finest officers. I will have their backs, but they're going to have the backs of the people of this city." Source: Associated Press: 2021 NYC Mayoral press release Jul 7, 2021
