In Manhattan, major crime is down in nearly every category compared to last year. And so far this year Manhattan had ZERO homicides, a first since 2018!

Murders and shootings continue to decline to pre-pandemic levels. There is always more work to do, but along with our partners at the NYPD we are continuing our efforts to reduce gun violence and keep our borough safe.
