New figures released by the NYPD show that overall crime in New York City dropped slightly in November compared to a year ago but the number of murders spiked.
Gun arrests citywide are at a 27-year high, and increased another 3.9% year-to-date, with significant increases in Queens and the Bronx.
"Every day, the NYPD’s singular focus is the safety and well-being of every resident, commuter, and visitor in our great city," said Police Commissioner Keechant L. Sewell. "As we near the end of this year, our department is seeing substantial, tangible progress toward our public safety goals – and that is because of the dedicated work of our exceptional officers and civilian members.
