“Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch today announced that the NYPD delivered the fewest murders in recorded history for the first four months of the year and the month of April. During the four-month stretch, there were 76 murders, shattering the previous record of 86 set in 2018. April also saw the fewest murders in recorded city history with 19, beating the previous record of 21 set in 2014 and 2017.

Shooting incidents and shooting victims are down double digits compared to last April with an 18.6% and 19.3% decline, respectively.

Major crime continued to fall in April, down 9.5% citywide. These historic reductions extended to the city’s public housing developments, where the NYPD delivered the safest start to any year in recorded history with the fewest murders, shooting incidents, shooting victims, and robberies.”

From New York City Police Department.

I thought Mandami was legalizing crime not reducing it! This isn’t what I didn’t vote for!
