“Public safety is strongest when we pair accountability with prevention and investments in the communities where we all live. Throughout Gun Violence Awareness Month, we brought together law enforcement, elected officials and advocates to address gun violence from every angle – from investing in young people and supporting prevention initiatives to removing illegal firearms from our streets. This holistic approach is delivering promising results, contributing to significant reductions in shootings and homicides in Manhattan. While there is still more work to do, we remain committed to building on this progress to create a lasting impact for the safety and wellbeing of all New Yorkers,” said District Attorney Bragg.
