A top City Council politician warned that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s decision not to add 5,000 cops to the ranks of the NYPD could make New Yorkers less safe. Oswald Feliz (D-Bronx), who chairs the council’s Committee on Public Safety, said Mamdani’s hiring freeze comes as the department is “already facing unprecedented officer shortages. ” “This is not good,” he told The Post on Sunday.
