The Detectives’ Endowment Association and New York State Public Safety Alliance members are standing together — and we will be heard. On October 20, the DEA will host another major meeting of the Alliance, bringing law enforcement leaders and representatives from more than 180 unions together around a shared purpose: defending the men and women who protect our communities. Public safety decisions affect every New Yorker. The voices of the professionals on the front lines must be part of that conversation. We’re united in protecting our members, strengthening our communities, and making sure our voices — and our more than 750K votes — count.

After the hearing, Menin says she'll "definitely" follow up with SpaceXAI about this because she wasn't satisfied with the testimony. She also says Castillo Madrid was "lying" when she claimed she didn't know about the firing of a SpaceXAI employee who raised security concerns.
