New York City reported a record low of 93 shootings in January and February 2025, marking the fewest incidents since 1993. Statistics also revealed a 14.5% decline in serious crimes compared to the previous year. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch attributed this success to effective crime fighting strategies and a return to traditional policing methods. Major felonies like murder and robbery decreased significantly. Additionally, the police enhanced their presence in high-crime areas and on subways, contributing to a safer environment for residents amidst ongoing concerns for public safety.
"New York City experienced the fewest number of shooting incidents in the past 30 years, and the third consecutive month of double-digit declines in nearly every major crime category prove that our comprehensive crime fighting strategies are working."
"Visibility, cops on the street and enforcement of laws - it's back to the basics, which we know have always worked."
