A really important piece as to why B-Heard doesn't work (aside from funding) is that some 60% calls are not routed to the response group because there is a threat of danger.
The mayor offered no answer to how they would change that.

The only concrete proposal is to expand B-Heard, but again, no money was offered up.

There are multiple paths to creating a new city agency, including City Council legislation, executive action, or a combination of the two. An explainer here on how Mayor Mamdani (& partners) might get his promised Department of Community Safety off the ground:

Mamdani admin had vowed to have funding for this new agency in the executive budget, despite claiming a massive budget gap

NEW: @NYCMayor tomorrow will create an Office of Community Safety & name a DM to oversee it. In its initial iteration, it will be far more modest than originally promised - smaller budget, just 2 staffers, not a full dept. W/ @JeffCMays nytimes.com/2026/03/18/nyr…

This council employee was also not on the list handed to Trump last month
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Today, an administrative immigration judge ordered the deportation of Rafael Rubio, a City Council employee. This is an affront to justice. A dedicated public servant with legal authorization to remain in the country, Rafael showed up for a routine immigration appointment and, despite following the rules, he was detained and has now been held for months. He should be immediately released.

Notably, Dylan was not one of the names given to Trump during their meeting last month
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Our City is overjoyed that Dylan has finally been released from detention and will be back home with his loved ones in the Bronx. What should have been a time for him to focus on finishing high school instead became ten long months of isolation, after he was taken into custody at what was supposed to be a routine immigration hearing last May. Throughout this injustice, Dylan has shown remarkable strength, resilience, and courage. I wish him a smooth and joyful return to his life, his community, and his future here in New York City. He is a New Yorker, and our city is glad to have him home.
