Hochul, Adams take victory lap over drop in subway crime, follows surge in cops since last fall

About a year after Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul first stood in Fulton Center to declare their commitment to combating subway crime, the pair was back in the Lower Manhattan transit hub Friday, taking a victory lap over what they said is data showing a marked decline in offenses committed on the transit system.

The chief executives of the city and state highlighted that for the first 3 1/2 weeks this year there have been an average of 1.7 crimes per one million riders a day, compared to an average of 2.8 per million in 2020—at the height of the pandemic—and 2.3 per million during 2021 and 2022. That brings the current level of crime on the system close to the pre-pandemic figure of 1.5 crimes per one million daily riders.
