The overall crime continued to drop in NYC for the seventh month in a row, although according to NYPD statistics published on Wednesday, murders, shootings and U -Bahn crime increased in April in April.

Police commissioner Jessica Tisch said that the total index crime in April has dropped by 3% compared to the same month in 2024. According to reports, the break -in fell by 13.5% (1,170 vs. 1,352), while the slump decreased by 9.6% (954 vs. 1.055) and large larceny decreased by 4% (3.726 vs. 3.881).

Police officers say there were three more murders last month than in the same time in 2024, with 28 people killed in the previous year compared to 25. Overall, however, the murders have dropped by 24% since the beginning of the year.

There were also 13 other shootings (73 compared to 60) and 17 more shooting victims (86 compared to 69) than in April 2024.

“The crime has dropped for the seventh month in a row, and that is the direct result of the strategies we introduced and the tireless work of the men and women of the NYPD,” said Tisch. “But even with this progress we are not satisfied-we can do more and more to reduce crime and ensure that the New Yorkers feel safe. Next week we will take our summer violence plan to make these challenges directly and continue the work to hold crime in the whole city.”

In addition to the traditional implementation, the top police officer was committed to starting the quality of life of the department, also known as “Q teams”.

Since she took to the streets last month, she said that the teams exhibited more than 2,400 cervites, made 132 arrests and seized 91 mopeds, 17 e-bikes and 352 vehicles that have been bound by chronic complaints if they reacted to illegal mixtures, abandoned vehicles, smoking shops and repressed.

The crime increased under the ground last month in the U -Bahne by 7.8% (152 compared to 141). Last month there were 152 laws of lawlessness last month compared to 141 in the previous year. The police say that this increase was largely powered by robberies in the criminal offense.

In April, the subway was hosting one of the most important crimes for years when 44-year-old Felix Rojas was allegedly raped on a manhattan pull.

Last month, the NYPD said that it also worked with federal, state and local partners to defeat members of the violent gang tren de Aragua, notorious for sex trade, drug distribution, violations of firearms and more, which led to 27 arrests.

The police also state that they have removed 339 illegal firearms in all five districts.
