Oswald J. Feliz

Okay, moving to the Office of Community Safety.

Oswald J. Feliz

The executive plan included transfers of funding from existing departments and new funding to create the Office of Community Safety.

Oswald J. Feliz

Have any programs shifted from the NYPD's purview to OCS?

Jessica Tisch

No.

Oswald J. Feliz

To what extent is NYPD engaged with the administration and what specific roles and coordination?

Oswald J. Feliz

Will occur between NYPD and OCS?

Jessica Tisch

Those conversations have not yet commenced.

Oswald J. Feliz

So the administration's announcement of approximately $260 million for the creation of OCS, there have been no conversations with NYPD about the agency and who will be doing what?

Jessica Tisch

Not at this time.

Jessica Tisch

I believe, I mean, I expect that those conversations will begin to occur.

Jessica Tisch

But as I mentioned before, in response to the last question, no program, no programmatic responsibility

Jessica Tisch

is being shifted from the NYPD to OCS at this time and none that I know of going forward.
