Since Inception, Q-Teams Have Responded to Over 31,500 Quality-of-Life Calls\u00a0Pilot Commands Reduced\u00a0Non-Emergency Response\u00a0Times by Average of\u00a047 Minutes<\/p>\n

Announcement Launches Administration\u2019s \u201cEnd Culture of Anything Goes<\/a>\u201d Campaign, Highlighting Mayor Adams\u2019 Efforts to Change Culture, Laws, and Investments That Improve Quality of Life and Prevent Public Disorder on City Streets <\/p>\n

NEW YORK<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch today announced the expansion of the NYPD\u2019s Quality of Life\u00a0Division \u201cQ-Teams\u201d across the entire borough of Queens. The expansion of Q-Teams across Queens doubles down on the NYPD\u2019s focus on tackling the daily issues\u00a0that impact New Yorkers\u2019 sense of safety and well-being, including cracking down on illegal mopeds, towing abandoned and derelict vehicles, cleaning up encampments, addressing outdoor drug use, and responding to noise complaints.<\/p>\n

Starting this past April, the NYPD launched Q-Teams<\/a> in six pilot commands, and to date, these teams have improved non-emergency response times by an average of\u00a047 minutes citywide, while towing 701 vehicles and seizing 318\u00a0illegal e-bikes, scooters, and mopeds. Following the success of the pilot program, the NYPD expanded Q-Teams to every precinct<\/a> in Manhattan on July 14 and throughout the Bronx<\/a> on July 21 and Brooklyn<\/a> on July 28. To date, Q-Teams have responded to more than 31,500 911 and 311 calls. The NYPD will continue to expand these efforts to every precinct in Staten Island on August 18 and to all housing commands on August 25.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s announcement also kicks off Mayor Adams\u2019 \u201cEnd Culture of Anything Goes<\/a>\u201d campaign. The campaign will highlight the work the administration has done to date to change the culture and laws that prevented people with severe mental illness from getting the help they needed, while simultaneously making the investments necessary to support outreach, harm reduction, wraparound services, and housing \u2014 all in an effort to make lasting impacts in lives and communities. Mayor Adams is bringing the same energy and approach that proved to be successful in carving a new path to help people with severe mental illness to addressing other health crises playing out on city streets, and will soon lay out how he plans to realize that vision.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery New Yorker deserves to have a level of security, whether it\u2019s taking their kids to school, walking in their neighborhood, going to work, or visiting loved ones. That is why, earlier this year, we created the new NYPD Quality of Life Division and launched a pilot program to address quality-of-life issues across our city, and since expanding the program to Manhattan, the Bronx, and Brooklyn, the results have got even better,\u201d said Mayor Adams<\/strong>. \u201cThese teams answered more than 31,500 calls for service and cut average non-emergency response times by about 47 minutes. With the expansion of the NYPD\u2019s Quality of Life Division across all of Queens, we are doing everything we can to ensure that New York City remains the safest big city in America and the best place to raise a family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the Quality of Life Division launched earlier this year, our goal was clear and concise: build a team focused entirely on addressing the conditions that make daily life harder for New Yorkers \u2014 and that\u2019s exactly what we have done,\u201d said NYPD Commissioner Tisch<\/strong>. \u201cOur Q-Teams solve the daily problems that add up and chip away at a community\u2019s sense of order. These teams are towing the abandoned vehicle on your block, responding to the noise complaints at late hours, and addressing the illegal parking that has persisted for too long. New Yorkers should feel safe\u00a0on every block, in every community, and throughout every borough, and with this expansion to every precinct in Queens, we are one step closer to making that a goal reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Program Results<\/strong><\/p>\n

On April 14, the NYPD launched\u00a0Q-Teams across six pilot\u00a0commands: the 13th, 40th, 60th, 75th, and 101st precincts, along with Police Service Area 1. Since the launch and through August 7, Q-Teams have responded directly to communities and made significant improvements to New Yorkers\u2019 quality-of-life concerns.<\/p>\n
