I am proud to be a New Yorker, and as your mayor, I am even prouder to announce that our city is getting cleaner, safer, and more affordable every day. But you don’t have to take my word for it: Just look at the numbers. Last week, we released the annual Mayor’s Management Report — our city’s report card. It details precisely how much progress we have made over the last fiscal year, between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025, and provides updated metrics that track the efforts of city government. Our agencies are being held to the highest standards of efficiency and accountability, and the results are proving it.
Our administration is achieving its mission of keeping New Yorkers safe. The data reveals that six of the seven major felony crime categories decreased, with additional crime decreases over the same period last year in parks, the transit system, NYCHA, and schools. Murder was down 6 percent, robbery was down 17 percent, and New York City had the fewest shootings of any August in the COMPStat era, marking eight straight months of overall crime decline. This is what it looks like to have a real public-safety strategy that is driving down crime.
