纽约州纽约县纽约市市长曼达尼取消2.25亿美元联合培训中心 前市长亚当斯16机构合训计划作废
纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼已悄悄取消前市长埃里克·亚当斯提出的联合公共安全培训中心计划，该项目原拟把十多个执法机构的培训集中到一处，耗资2.25亿美元。市政厅发言人萨姆·拉斯金表示，曼达尼决定不再推进这一拟议中的公共安全培训中心，预算中也没有为其安排资金。
拉斯金解释说，警察、惩教人员和其他执法人员的职责和培训需求各不相同，斥资2.25亿美元整合现有培训设施既无必要，也不是公共资金的好用途。据报道，这一决定由《City & State》率先披露，但市政厅未说明曼达尼具体何时做出决定。
该项目可追溯至亚当斯政府时期，原计划今年早些时候动工，目的是打破各执法机构之间的壁垒；更早的资金则由时任市长白思豪在2021年划拨，当时只打算在纽约市警察学院园区内为惩教部门新建一处培训设施。曼达尼在去年的初选中就曾与几乎所有其他民主党参选人一道反对这个16机构合训的方案，并将其比作亚特兰大备受争议的“警察城”项目。
市议会共和党少数党领袖戴维·卡尔批评了取消决定。市政厅表示，相关资金将不再用于这一项目。
New York City Mayor Mamdani Cancels $225 Million Joint Public Safety Training Center, Scrapping Former Mayor Adams' 16-Agency Plan
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has quietly canceled the joint public safety training center proposed by former Mayor Eric Adams, a project that would have concentrated the training of more than a dozen law enforcement agencies in one place at a cost of $225 million. City Hall spokesman Sam Raskin said Mamdani decided not to move forward with the proposed public safety training center and that no funding for it is included in the budget.
Raskin explained that police officers, correction officers and other law enforcement personnel have distinct duties and training needs, and that spending $225 million to consolidate their existing training facilities was neither necessary nor a good use of public funds. The decision was first reported by City & State, according to reports, but City Hall did not say when Mamdani made it.
The project dated to the Adams administration and was originally set to break ground earlier this year, aiming to break down walls between law enforcement agencies; earlier funding had been earmarked in 2021 by then-Mayor Bill de Blasio, when the plan was only to build a new training facility for the Department of Correction on the NYPD academy campus. During last year's primary, Mamdani, along with nearly every other Democratic candidate, opposed the 16-agency joint training plan and compared it to Atlanta's controversial "Cop City" project. City Council Republican Minority Leader David Carr criticized the cancellation, and City Hall said the funds will no longer be used for this project.
