NYPD Statistics Show Big Increase in Murder and Rape in the Bronx For Year Ending 2018 Over 2017

  The Year end 2018 NYPD Comp Stat report shows a Twenty-Five percent increase in Murder, and an over Fourteen percent increase in Rape over 2017 in the Bronx. A breakdown of the twelve Bronx police precinct shows only the 46th and 47th Precincts had a decrease in both the Murder and Rape statistics for 2018 when compared to 2017. 

  When confronted by this reporter at a media press conference Tuesday after the announcement of the New York Care Program was announced Mayor Bill de Blasio asked if I had cross checked my figures, that all New Yorkers including residents of the Bronx believe that the city is the safest it has ever been, that I should check my figures with the NYPD, and that if more resources are needed in the Bronx they will be assigned. 

  I will take the mayor up on his offer, and request a meeting with the Police Commissioner, or whomever he decides to meet with me to go over the Comp Stat Murder and Rape rates per precinct in the Bronx. I will also bring my knowledge of past staffing levels, and current staffing levels as I mentioned to the mayor about one specific precinct, that being the 50th Precinct.
