These transformative investments include, but are not limited to: The FY 2024 Budget invests $347 million - a $120 million increase from the FY 2023 Budget, which contained the largest investment in public safety funding in a generation - in evidence-based gun violence prevention initiatives. " By ensuring judges have the discretion they need, investing in proven strategies to combat gun violence, and strengthening criminal justice reforms, we are using every tool at our disposal to improve safety in every community across the State." " 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.
