- A law enforcement source told the New York Post that NYPD officials are “throwing everything it has at the crime problem” in the city while stating the link between the gun arrests and fewer shootings is “not coincidental.”
- “The question remains — what happens to the shooters? There has to be accountability — the rest of the criminal justice system has to do its job.”
- Authorities have also cracked down on the proliferation of illegal guns on the streets, leading to gun arrests in New York City hitting a 27-year high, resulting in 6,638 guns seized citywide in 2022.
