NYC Mayor Eric Adams wants minor crimes like fare evasion to get attention and be prosecuted by district attorneys.
The NYPD has launched new Neighborhood Safety Teams — each made up of five officers and a sergeant — in two precincts in Manhattan, one in Brooklyn, one in Queens, and one on Staten Island.
Through Sunday, 284 people were involved in 253 shootings this year. Both figures represent a greater than 17% increase. Adams said that if prosecutors decline to press charges against fare evaders the city is sending "the wrong message."Crime continues to plague the city as the revamped anti-crime unit took to the streets this week.
On Monday alone, there were at least four shootings. A girl, 7, was grazed by a bullet on Coney Island. A woman was shot in the face in Canarsie. A man was shot in the leg in Morrisania and another man was shot in the leg at the Queensbridge Houses in Long Island City.
