New York to Install Hundreds of Panic Buttons to Tackle Crime
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. New York City officials announced on Sunday plans to install hundreds of panic buttons in bodegas in an effort to tackle ongoing crime. Why It Matters The announcement comes after a series of recent violent incidents, some deadly, inside bodegas across the city's five boroughs. On Saturday, a 33-year-old man was fatally stabbed multiple times inside a bodega in Harlem. In another incident last month, a gang of suspects dressed up like NYPD officers, stormed into a store in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, roughed up the workers and robbed them. And in March, a 24-year-old Harlem bodega worker was stabbed in the neck with a knife during an attempted robbery. What To Know Mayor Eric Adams announced on Sunday during a press conference outside a deli in The Bronx that the city will invest $1.6 million to install up to 500 panic buttons in hundreds of bodegas following a series of recent violent incidents at them. The devices will connect directly to the NYPD's central command center, bypassing traditional 911 dispatchers to help reduce response times, Adams explained. The mayor added they will be installed in stores in "hotspot" crime areas. The bodegas receiving the buttons, which will be installed by the company SilentShield, won't be revealed to the public. The United Bodegas of America (UBA) has been requesting funding for panic buttons, with the first call coming when New York Governor Kathy Hochul introduced the idea a year ago. This is not the first time panic buttons have been installed in bodegas. A pilot program launched in June by UBA and SaferWatch had installed 50 panic buttons in high-crime bodegas, but critics noted inconsistent response times due to poor integration with police, the New York Post reported. New York City Mayor Eric Adams makes an affordability and housing related announcement at Woodhull II Residence on April 28 in New York City.

AP What People Are Saying New York City Mayor Eric Adams said: "Instead of just having the cats keeping away the rats, we're going to have a direct connection with the police to keep away those dangerous cats that try to rob our stores. He added: "The bodegas are important, and what this is going to do is add an extra layer of safety. Number one, for those who actually have the panic buttons and the direct communication to the police. But second, the element of surprise — 500 of these devices throughout the entire city." NYPD Chief of Department John Chell said at the Sunday press conference: "SilentShields, aside from giving workers peace of mind as it serves, is also a crime prevention tool. It allows quick response by a potential violent situation on police officers to save lives. It gives our responding officers situational awareness to keep them safe. It helps with timely apprehensions, and it gives our detective squad great tools to catch people after the fact. Ultimately, it helps keep everyone safe and sends a message..." United Bodegas of America spokesman Fernando Mateo said Sunday: "Panic buttons is what's going to save the lives of so many. Not just the lives of bodega owners and workers; the lives of so many that have ran into a bodega seeking safe shelter and they've been killed." What Happens Next? The buttons will be installed in the coming weeks and will be distributed through an emergency grant to the UBA.
