President Joe Biden will host city leaders from around the country to talk about reducing crimeWASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden will host New York City's Democratic mayoral candidate and other city and law enforcement leaders from around the country to talk about reducing crime. They were not authorized to speak publicly about the meeting and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. But there is a continued push for police reform, revived nationwide with the death of George Floyd, and Biden is trying to work on both simultaneously. A federal effort is underway to expand and enhance community violence interruption programs in 15 cities. Adams won a crowded primary after appealing to the political center and promising to strike the right balance between fighting crime and ending racial injustice in policing.
