Mayor says New York City has more work to do with anti-violence this year

The mayor’s office is combating some harsh crime numbers and spent most of Thursday’s press conference discussing tactics to secure a safer city. 

Since June 13, shooting incidents are up to 634 compared to the previous 386, though August was a much safer month. “I am proud to report, the last 14 weeks we have cut that increase down to 30,” said NYPD Chief of Department Rodney Harrison.
