Mayor Adams will meet with NYPD leaders on Saturday to get a handle on rising crime. The unusual weekend meeting comes after three students were injured in a drive-by shooting near a school in Queens. Christinafantv reports.
"If you hire enough school safety agents that you have random scanning, unannounced, if you have ten a day, at ten different schools, that will help," said Gregory Floyd, president of Teamsters Local 237."And if you find weapons at the school, you go back, you go back, you go back."
According to Floyd, only 89 of the city's approximately 1,700 schools have permanent metal detectors. Floyd says random scanning should be done at every school, "Yes, I'll tell you why. You also have adults coming in. You also have children who, unfortunately, get firearms from their parents," Floyd said.Parents say it's time for politicians to put a focus on children.
"Absolutely ridiculous, that we still have elected officials who say we gotta defund the police and we gotta oppose school safety agents out of the school," said Phil Wong, a parent."It's insane because they are the ones who keep kids safe."
