In April 2025, New York City reported a 3% decline in overall index crime compared to the same month in 2024, marking the seventh consecutive month of reduced crime rates. Significant reductions were observed in robbery, burglary, and grand larceny. However, certain crime categories, such as murder, shootings, and auto thefts, saw increases, highlighting persistent issues. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch attributed the decline to effective policing strategies and the dedication of the officers, though challenges remain in specific crime incidents, particularly in public housing and bias-related offenses.
Crime is down for the seventh month in a row, and that's the direct result of the strategies we've put in place and the tireless work of the men and women of the [New York Police Department].
