1New York, NY – New York City is seeing record-breaking drops in crime, with police officials announcing Wednesday that the first nine months of 2025 produced the fewest shooting incidents and shooting victims in the city’s history. The third quarter was also the safest on record in the subway system, with major transit crime hitting all-time lows in July, August, and September, excluding pandemic years.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch credited the department’s precision policing strategy, which she said combined aggressive gang takedowns, gun seizures, and data-driven deployments in high-crime areas. “This is not a coincidence — it’s the result of an unprecedented, data-driven deployment of thousands of officers to the areas they are needed most,” Tisch said.
