Mayor comes to Barclays for historic low-crime message
The Nets may not have been doing that great this year, but another event at Barclays Center showed that in one respect, the entire city is a winner.
The number of murders in New York City is expected to hit a record low this year, and shootings are at their lowest point in at least 18 years, officials said Friday.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, at Barclays for a graduation ceremony for this year’s police cadets, or recruits, credited police efforts, including the controversial tactic known as stop and frisk.
