Queens riders to benefit from Lyft’s congestion pricing credit program this month

Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch sought to make reality the perception Monday in rolling out crime statistics demonstrating an overall crime decline in 2024 — even though many New Yorkers still don't feel safe. Hizzoner and the top cop said on Jan. 6 that murder, robbery, burglary, grand larceny all dropped last year, though felony assaults continued to be higher than normal. On top of that, they also stressed the ongoing problem with repeat offenders responsible for crime citywide. They noted that the ongoing issues plaguing the city’s safety landscape can largely be attributed to the “revolving door” of the criminal justice system, which they argue has been perpetuated by legislative changes enacted in 2020. “Last month, a career criminal with 17 prior arrests committed a brazen robbery at gunpoint, injuring both a police officer and an innocent bystander,” Tisch said. “This individual had repeatedly been released, demonstrating a clear failure within our system to keep repeat offenders off the streets.”
