How we fight crime and make New York City safer every day

Public safety and justice are the foundation of an equitable society.

They are the keys to prosperity, good health and the ability of all to lead a productive life.

One of us campaigned for mayor on the importance of making New York City a safer place to live, work and raise a family.

A little over a year and a half in office, this administration continues to see the fruits of our labors.

Shootings are down an incredible 27% through the first seven months of this year.

That means 274 fewer people have been a victim of gun violence in 2023 than at this point in 2022.

This year alone, we have removed more than 4,000 guns from our streets — 11,000 since our administration began.

And so far in 2023, we have made 2,651 gun arrests, bringing the total since January 2022 to nearly 7,300.

Murder is down, along with robberies and burglaries, it is safer to ride the subway, and hate crimes have also declined.

Overall, major crimes were down last month compared with July 2022 by more than 5%.

In fact, we witnessed a drop in five of the seven index-crime categories.

And since the start of our Summer Violence Reduction Plan in May, major crime in our deployment zones has fallen nearly 10% from last year, and shootings have declined by more than 24%, mirroring the continuing decline in shootings citywide.

Nineteen months into this administration, it is clear that our model of precision policing and our prevention-based strategy are working.

What a absolute load of gobbledygook bullshit.

Adams is gas lighting. He saw what happened to Lightfoot.
Don’t believe your lying eyes. NYC is descending into a SF doom loop.

Citigroup’s chief executive Jane Fraser announced in March 2021 that the majority of the company’s 210,000 employees will be allowed to go hybrid with three days in the office and two days at home each week. UBS made similar plans last month with the launch of their Virtual Worker Framework that will allow some US employees to work 100% remotely.

The disastrous consequences were soon recognized but have not even now been rectified. Wall Street is a dead zone. See, for example:

“like empowering violence interrupters as credible messengers.”

Normal people call them “cops”.
