As we mourn, we must also find ways to turn our pain into purpose; it&#8217;s the least we can do to honor the victims. While this incident will forever be a stain on our city, it happened against the backdrop of a larger, more hopeful picture \u2014 one where the brave men and women of the NYPD continue to drive down crime,\u201d said Mayor Adams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we reflect on the month of July, we are exceptionally proud that overall crime continues to topple \u2014 leading off our SEVENTH consecutive quarter of crime reductions \u2014 with some of our most violent crimes at record lows across the city. July saw the lowest number of shooting incidents and shooting victims in recorded history. Additionally, crime in the subway system in July was at record lows, excluding the 2020 and 2021 pandemic years. The first seven months of 2025 also mark the fewest shooting incidents and shooting victims ever recorded. This incredible progress is no coincidence \u2014 it is thanks to our administration\u2019s dedication to policing with precision and integrity. At a time when many want to defund the police, our administration will always defend them. I want to extend my deepest thanks to Police Commissioner Tisch and the courageous men and women of the NYPD who put on their uniforms every single day, running toward danger so we don\u2019t have to face it ourselves, and fighting to keep New York City the safest big city in America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew York City just recorded the lowest number of shooting incidents and shooting victims ever for the first seven months of any year, while major crime continued to decline citywide. Excluding the two pandemic years, it was also the safest July in our subway system in recorded history,\u201d said NYPD Commissioner Tisch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese achievements are to the direct credit of the women and men of the NYPD, who now carry forward the legacy of Detective First Grade Didarul Islam.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW YORK \u2013 New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica S.
