New York's response to violent incidents will include reinstating plainclothes officer unit, mayor says

New York Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday outlined how the city will respond following a series of high-profile violent incidents, including a shooting Friday that left one police officer dead and another fighting for his life.
The city will "immediately" reinstate a "newer version of modified plainclothes anti-gun unit," Adams told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union," a step he'd called for while campaigning.
Plainclothes policing units have been criticized by some as an outdated policing practice, and the New York Police Department had reassigned many such officers in 2020. However, Adams, who took office in the new year, said his team "has done the proper analysis and now we're going to deploy that."
