Where did you read this?

It was on Youtube I will find it again and post it. It was NY News reporting it had the NYPD 5000 cuts and then had the FDNY logo with what I said on it and there were other departments shown I am trying to locate it again

In his February 2026 budget proposal, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is funding four FDNY chief diversity inclusion officer positions, including three civilian roles costing over

(including overtime) and one uniformed officer, as part of a broader, multi-million dollar, citywide investment in equity offices

• FDNY Positions: The plan funds three civilian chief diversity inclusion officer positions (roughly $531,000 including overtime) and one uniformed chief diversity inclusion officer (over $118,000).
• 
  
• Context: This initiative is part of a larger $127 billion budget proposal that prioritizes diversity and equity programs while simultaneously reducing the NYPD's budget and cancelling plans to hire 5,000 new officers.
• 
  
• Administration Focus: Mayor Mamdani, who took office in January 2026, has emphasized reshaping city agency leadership, including appointing Lillian Bonsignore as FDNY Commissioner.
  

The move to fund these roles has drawn attention, particularly as it coincides with significant proposed cuts to NYPD staffing.
