Hochul Establishes Permanent Office to Combat Gun Violence

New York Governor Kathy Hochul signs legislation establishing a permanent Office of Gun Violence Prevention, marking a significant step in the state’s approach to reducing gun-related crime. This initiative follows a troubling rise in gun violence during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading the state to previously declare a gun violence disaster emergency in 2021.

The codification of this office not only allocates $3 million for its operations but also reflects a concerted effort by Hochul and state lawmakers to counter former President Trump’s dismissal of gun violence prevention initiatives. Despite improvements in gun crime data since the office’s inception—with reported incidents declining from 9,772 last year—New York’s numbers remain above pre-pandemic levels. This renewed focus aims to advance violence interrupter strategies and mandates annual reporting on crime data, reinforcing the state’s commitment to public safety.
