New York City Mayor Eric Adams is highlighting some crime stats in his first year in office while also looking ahead to next year.
Major felony crimes are up nearly 25 percent on the year through November but Mayor Eric Adams points to a 17 percent drop in shootings, 12 percent decline in homicides and gun arrests at a 27 year high as accomplishments during his first year in office.
“We are still the safest big city in America and in 2023 we are going to push this city to be safer.”
Adams says one of his goals for next year is to convince lawmakers in Albany to pass new legislation enabling the city to go harder after dangerous drivers.
