Safer Streets: Hochul says she has invested nearly $4B in public safety since taking office

Hours before Trump appeared at the Nassau County Police Academy with Blakeman, Hochul's office issued an 8:20am release tallying nearly $4 billion in public safety spending since she took office and citing sustained crime and gun-violence reductions. Timing makes it counterprogramming to the Trump-Blakeman "soft on crime" event the same day; the underlying spending figure is the administration's own cumulative tally, not an independent audit.
