Op-Eds
Since day one, public safety has been our administration’s North Star. Our primary mission has been to create safer streets, safer subways, and a safer city for all New York families. Part of our strategy has been to zero in on removing illegal guns from our streets and out of the hands of criminals before they can cause more harm.
The numbers are in, and since the start of this year, the NYPD has already helped us take more than 1,000 illegal guns off the streets. That is 1,000 weapons that no longer threaten the safety of our neighborhoods, our families, or our children. And those 1,000 guns take the total number of illegal guns taken off city streets since we came into office to a staggering 20,700.
The removal of these illegal guns has driven year-to-date shootings down by 14.5 percent compared to 2024 and to the lowest point in our city’s history, saving countless lives. In fact, for three years in a row, the number of shootings and homicides across our city have both substantially declined. Getting illegal guns and reducing homicides off our streets and out of our cities is critical to protecting our kids, our communities, and our future.
Additionally, transit crime is down 27.9 percent year-to-date, following a significant deployment of officers to city subway platforms and trains, including on overnight shifts. And crime in New York City public housing developments is also down 12.7 percent since the start of the year.
These remarkable results have been driven by the use of zone-based policing, including deploying officers to hot-spot locations experiencing spikes in crime and additions to our Subway Safety Plan, first implemented in February 2022.
We are going to continue NYPD foot patrols in high-crime areas, both above ground and throughout our transit system. But we know that ending gun violence requires more than enforcement. It requires attention and investment. We are going to ensure that young people have safe places away from gun violence…

The New York City Metropolitan Area accounted for more than $103 billion, or 69%, of the value of goods imported to New York state. In 2023, Europe provided the largest share of goods by value to the metropolitan area among all regions, according to a report released today by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. The report, which examines imports into the New York part of the metro area, aims to help New Yorkers understand the potential effects of federal trade policy choices on their businesses and households.
“New York City is one of the country’s largest importers and exporters of goods, and its consumers and businesses could be negatively affected by new tariffs on goods traded with some of our biggest trading partners,” DiNapoli said. “Tariffs will likely raise costs for producers and consumers and may create higher operating costs for local businesses. The impact of these changes on the local and national economy are difficult to gauge and will take time to fully understand.”
New York state imported $157.2 billion in goods in 2023, according to the International Trade Administration (ITA), making up about 5% of the national total. However, ITA does not provide detailed data on imports at the metropolitan area level.
An analysis based on the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics’ commodity flow data estimates the New York portion of the New York City Metropolitan Area – which includes New York City, Long Island, and certain Hudson Valley counties – imported over $103 billion in goods from foreign countries in 2023. The largest source of imports into the metropolitan area, and the state,…
