Curtis Sliwa asserts that the NYPD should reinstate a dedicated homeless outreach unit with medical nurses to effectively support the city's vulnerable population.

“January 1st, 2026. I put that unit into place because they had medical nurses with them. You know, we talk about we got to have health care workers with the police when they show up for a domestic situation or dealing with an emotionally disturbed person. I agree. But we already had it.”
