CITYWIDE \u2014 MAYOR ERIC ADAMS and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Monday announced that the NYPD has removed more than 25,000 illegal firearms from New York City streets since January 2022, including 5,200 this year, and celebrated four consecutive years of declines in shootings and homicides.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the mayor\u2019s office, shootings are down 55% and homicides are down 35.5% during the Adams administration, with 2025 on pace for the lowest number of shooting incidents and victims ever recorded in an 11-month span.<\/p>\n

Adams and Tisch credited a mix of enforcement and prevention, including precision policing strategies and the Crisis Management System run by the city\u2019s Office to Prevent Gun Violence, as well as targeted deployments in violence-reduction zones and coordinated prosecutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0The mayor also on Monday awarded Keys to the City to 29 community-based organizations across the five boroughs for violence-interruption work aimed at preventing conflicts before they escalate.<\/p>\n
