What they posted
The NYPD now responds to hundreds of thousands of mental health calls every year, slowing response times for other emergencies. We can deploy trained public health workers and allow cops to focus on the serious crimes that too often go unresolved. https://t.co/sppfZzFo4z
Why it's Truth
Vera Institute, NYPD testimony, and multiple analyses confirm NYPD handles approximately 150,000–175,000 mental health/EDP calls annually in recent years (2023–2025 data), consistent with descriptions of "hundreds of thousands" or ~200k responses per year. Primary official data and independent reviews support the claim's scale and context on the post date.
