NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is expected to unveil a plan for disbanding the NYPD's Strategic Response Group (SRG). In dissolving the counterterrorism and protest-response unit, His Honor would be fulfilling a key 2025 campaign pledge. Mamdani's plan is expected to involve nixing the SRG and potentially replacing it with a new civilian unit that would take the lead on responding to protests. Under the plan, which had not been finalized yet, the new civilian unit would be supported by NYPD officers, who would assemble nearby and be able to step in to conduct arrests if needed. The civilian entity's main goal would be de-escalating violence, not encouraging it.
