6h agoEric Adams, Brooklyn’s borough president and the Democratic nominee for mayor, stood with elected officials and residents Tuesday to discuss combating the spike in gun violence within public developments on Tuesday.
It comes after a spike in gun violence in the area of East New York, just blocks away from the 75th Precinct.
Adams is calling on the NYPD to create a plain-clothed anti-gun violence unit to combine provision policing and intelligence to take down gangs. Elected officials say there is a major lack of resources in the area.
Adams says the first step to take is to crack down on guns coming into the city each day.
