Crime continues to soar in the Big Apple under Democrat Mayor Eric Adams: NYPD response time snail-like

Major crime in New York City under Democrat Mayor Eric Adams continues to rise like a phoenix out of the ashes during his first fiscal year in office, To make matters worse, the city's police response has slowed across the board as delineated in the mayor's yearly report. And the migrant situation in the Big Apple has made matters worse.

The 520-page Mayor’s Management Report says that felonies were mentioned nearly 127,000 times over fiscal 2023, a 6.4% increase over last year. The illegal alien crisis [or migrant crisis, as the report refers to the illegal alien crisis] was mentioned more than two dozen times, and it's obvious Adams is upset with the Biden administration for allowing open borders.

The only categories that saw any improvement were murder and rape--all remaining categories jumped up over the year.

But to make matters worse, average response times for all crimes slowed by nearly two minutes to 14 minutes and 24 seconds. Now if that doesn't provide a case for gun ownership by the law abiding citizen, then you're on the wrong side of the law.

Critical and serious crimes in progress showed sluggish responses, with critical active incidents slowing more than half a minute to 9 minutes and reports of serious crimes taking just over 13 minutes for a cop to arrive, which is more than a minute slower.

The New York Post reported the following crime stats from the mayor's office:

Murder was down 9% — 424 vs 465

Rape was down 7% — 1,088 vs 1,168
Robbery was up 5% — 17.047 vs 16,178
Felony assault was up 8% — 26,959 vs 25,034
Burglary was up 2% — 15,054 vs 14,793
Grand larceny was up 5% — 51,455 vs 49,227
Car theft was up 20% — 14,902 vs 12,448

The report also highlights the NYPD’s clear refocus on 'broken windows policing' — issuing 134,580 minor tickets, which is nearly double that last year.

Tickets for public drinking sky rocketed over the fiscal year under Adams, but did little to stop the bleeding.

However, the report highlighted the department’s successes in closing cases, noting that major felony arrests jumped to nearly 50,000, which was up about 7,000 collars.

Gun play throughout the city, a key focus under the Adams administration, dropped by 23% leading to 412 fewer victims of gun violence.

“The mayor is the first to say that there is always more work to do, but the public safety gains we’ve made over the last 20 months have ensured New York City has remained the safest big city in America,” City Hall spokesman Jonah Allon said.

“Under the mayor’s leadership, the city saw a downward trend in major crimes at the end of 2022 and major crime is down overall in 2023, year-to-date, including a double-digit decrease in shootings,” he added.

However, the number of families depending on the scandal-ridden Department of Homeless Services for shelters soared by 50 percent, an increase from the 8,500 to 12,700.

The overall number of folks in DHS shelters increased to 66,195 from 45,563 the year before.

This is how the left spells suckcess.
