New York’s Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul declared the “defund the police” movement officially dead on Jan. 24 while touting an increase in funding for local law enforcement agencies.
Speaking at a press conference at the Capital Region Crime Analysis Center (CRCAC) in Albany, Hochul noted: “We’re not defunding police; we are really ramping up funding for police. So, all that era is over.”
