Statement From Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum

On $12 Million Allocation to Provide Bullet-Proof Vests for NYPD

“As a longstanding proponent of better protection and equipment for New York’s Finest, I believe the decision to spend $12 million on upgraded bullet-proof vests for 18,000 officers is a smart investment. As executive director of the New York Police Foundation, I raised money to purchase a life-saving bullet proof vest for every officer in the city. The brave men and women of the NYPD deserve the best.”
