William Bratton, former commissioner of the New York City Police Department advocated zero-tolerance policing. This included prosecution of panhandlers and vandals. His push was opposed by the city's courts, which feared the policy would swamp the court system with small crime cases. Bratton elicited the help of New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani who explained that although zero-tolerance policing would initially increase the workload of the courts, over time this would decline as the crime rate fell in New York. Bratton and Giuliani then had a series of press conferences on the subject.

Bratton's policing style is influenced by the broken windows theory, a criminological theory of the norm-setting and signalling effect of urban disorder and vandalism on additional crime and anti-social behavior.[3] He advocates having an ethnically diverse police force representative of the population,[4] maintaining a strong relationship with the law-abiding population,[5] tackling police corruption,[3] being tough on gangs and having a strict no-tolerance of anti-social behavior.[6]
A) network of allies. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A) Network of Allies though the policy is purely based on option B, C and D, the courts dropped the opposition against NYPD Commissioner's policy decision due to his ally's explanation, so the answer should be option A.
