A public safety resources poster released Thursday by Democratic leaders
urges small business owners in the New York City to consider alternative
tools and resources, rather than calling on police for help.
Queens Councilwoman Tiffany Cabán tweeted the newly crafted resource
sheet, designed to equip merchants “with better ways of solving problems
than simply summoning police every time a challenge arises.” Caban
campaigned on a defund the police platform, calling for the disbanding of
the NYPD and redirection of billions to alternate “people and service
providers.” (RELATED: As Crime Rises In NYC, Eric Adams Struggles To

The poster, crafted by both Cabán and New York Assembly Member Zohran
Mamdani, counsels local businesses to call 311 to request a street
outreach team if encountering homelessness outside their establishments.
Small business owners are also advised to employ specific strategies for
deescalating potential conflicts, including the “Five ‘Ds’ of Upstander
Intervention.” “Say ‘no,’ ‘stop,’ or ‘that is not okay,'” the tip sheet
suggests.
The same day the progress leaders promoted the poster’s release, a New
York EMS lieutenant was brutally stabbed to death in the same borough
Cabán represents. A 24-year veteran of the fire department, Alison Russo-
Elling died “in a barbaric and completely unprovoked attack,” the Caller
reported at the time.
Long Island restaurant owner Giana Cerbone was flabbergasted at the
recommendations, the New York Post reported. “Are you kidding me?! … Who
does she want us to call, Ghostbusters?!,” she said, according to the
outlet.
