" Public safety is my top priority, and I'm proud that this Budget delivers record investments and critical improvements to the justice system to make New Yorkers safer," Governor Hochul said. Governor Hochul was joined by New York City Mayor Eric Adams, district attorneys and other leaders in public safety and criminal justice at today's announcement. Additional highlights include transformative investments to reduce recidivism, address the flow of deadly fentanyl into New York State, and improve Statewide emergency response services. The Budget improves public safety by providing judges greater discretion to set bail for serious crimes, providing $170 million to support the implementation of discovery reform for prosecutors and defenders, and investing $347 million in evidence-based gun violence prevention initiatives. Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the public safety highlights of the FY 2024 Budget.
