At a recent press conference to discuss school safety, Mayoral candidate, Andrew Cuomo, committed to hiring additional school safety officers as part of the Governor’s plan to restore public safety, the centerpiece of which is hiring and retaining 5,000 new police officers that will restore the ranks of the NYPD to the same headcount as the Dinkins/Giuliani eras. Flanked by members of Local 237’s Executive Board and members of Law Enforcement and Citywide Division, Local 237 President Gregory Floyd welcomed the commitment from Cuomo and reiterated the union’s support of him as Mayor.
“With his historic anti-gun laws and his pledge to increase law enforcement on our streets and in our schools, he demonstrates that as a realistic elected official, and as a responsible parent, he gets it: Nothing is more important than protecting our families. Andrew Cuomo’s commitment to restoring the number of school safety agents shows his dedication to keeping our children safe. And Andrew Cuomo will do just that! He has our support because he is the right person for these times and will get the job done as no one else can,” said Gregory Floyd, President of Teamsters Local 237.
