NYC crime: NYPD reports another drop in major felonies in September, though shootings spiked

Major NYC crime dropped for the ninth consecutive month, NYPD officials reported Tuesday — crediting the department’s “laser focus” on gun crime for making the city’s streets safer.

Interim Commissioner Tom Donlon provided his first monthly crime data report alongside Mayor Eric Adams, who appointed Donlon to the job last month following the resignation of former top cop Edward Caban amid an ongoing federal investigation.
