New York City’s force of school safety agents, which currently has more than 1,000 unfilled positions, would be permanently reduced by 560 under a preliminary budget introduced by Mayor Adams Wednesday.
The city’s force of school safety officers — the largest such division in the country — employed more than 5,000 agents as of June 2020, but saw its numbers shrink to fewer than 4,000 by November 2021 because of high attrition and a hiring slowdown, according to a recent report by the state comptroller.
