University officials have requested the NYPD to only patrol the exterior of the campus, the department’s officials said Monday.
The NYPD will take action, however, if someone is in danger.
“If there’s a crime in progress, we’re going to go in,” Gerber said.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams issued a statement urging Columbia administration to “improve and maintain an open line of communication with the NYPD to ensure the safety of all students and staff on campus, as well as for the safety of all New Yorkers.”
The NYPD said it is limited in how it can respond.
“We have to wait until (Columbia administration officials) decide that they want our presence on their campus,” NYPD Deputy Commissioner Tarik Sheppard said.
