‘No neighborhood is safe,’ Crime up in nearly every NYC precinct: latest stats

By Larry Celona, Steven Vago and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

Nearly every single city police precinct has seen spikes in crime so far this year — including five in which the rate has doubled, according to the latest troubling NYPD statistics.

“No neighborhood is safe,” one Brooklyn cop warned Tuesday. “At this rate, we will lose the city by St. Patrick’s Day.”

The only precinct in Manhattan to not see its crime rate jump was the 22nd Precinct, the one covering Central Park.

“Only the squirrels are safe,” another cop added wryly. “Tourists will never come back.”

Seventy-two out of the Big Apple’s 77 police precincts saw crime rise, leaving just five at 2021 levels or dipping below their figures for the same period a year earlier.

The NYPD CompStat numbers show that the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst, Queens, has been battered by the highest jump in crime as of Sunday, with a more than 142 percent increase over last year.

The biggest percentage hikes in the precinct were for grand larcenies, with 197 incidents so far this year after just 43 at the same point in 2021; felony assaults, which rose to 59 from 28, and robberies, with 30 this year compared to 18 last year.

Dear New Yorkers:  this is what you inevitably get when you vote for democrats.  Next time, think before you vote, and remember what happens when you vote democrat.

Kamaji scolds:

You're right.
It'd be great if they would realize this.
But...  they won't.
Not now.
Perhaps not ever.
Certainly not in our lifetimes.
It is what it is.
