New York City is experiencing some of its safest months in recorded history under Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
According to the latest NYPD statistics:
• Major crime has dropped 6.2% citywide compared to the same period last year.
• Murders are at their lowest levels for the first quarter (and beyond) in decades — with significant double-digit declines in several boroughs.
• Shooting incidents and other key categories are also trending downward.
Officials credit data-driven policing, community outreach, and targeted enforcement for the continued progress. While challenges like hate crimes remain a concern in some areas, overall public safety metrics show clear improvement.
This positive trend is being celebrated by many New Yorkers who have long called for safer streets.
