NYPD announces citywide crime statistics for July 2022
For the month of July 2022, the number of overall shooting incidents increased in New York City compared with July 2021, highlighting the continuing need to eradicate gun violence and end the perception among criminals that there are no consequences for violent crimes. Citywide shooting incidents increased by 13.4% (178 v. 157), driven by upticks in Brooklyn, southern Queens, and Staten Island. Additionally, the number of murders citywide increased for the month by 34.3% (47 v. 35) compared to the same period last year.
In its continuing effort to stop New Yorkers from being victimized by violence, the NYPD has seized more than 4,300 firearms year-to-date in 2022. At the same time, citywide gun arrests through July are at a 27-year high, rising to 2,752 – which is a 2.4% increase compared with the 2,687 gun arrests through the first seven months of 2021. Additionally, NYPD officers in July 2022 made 4,017 arrests for complaints of major felony crimes, an 18.2% increase over the 3,398 arrests for major felonies in the same month last year. Arrests for major felonies are up nearly 29% so far in calendar 2022, compared with the first seven months of 2021.
Overall index crime in New York City increased in July 2022, by 30.5% compared with July 2021 (11,619 v. 8,906). Six of the seven major index-crime categories saw increases, driven by a 40.6% increase in grand larceny (4,588 v. 3,262), a 37.2% increase in robbery (1,730 v. 1,261), and a 25.6% rise in burglary (1,325 v. 1,055).
This work is ongoing, and always driven by community concerns. The support and partnership the NYPD receives from the community were highlighted citywide on August 2 during the annual “National Night Out Against Crime” events, several of which were attended by the Mayor and Police Commissioner. Furthermore, we announced the expansion of our highly successful “Saturday Night Lights” program in early July – increasing our available gyms by 30% across the city. This program offers exceptional athletic programs and activities, as well as high-quality coaches and mentors, to children in all five boroughs. We are highly invested in providing our youth with fun, safe, engaging summer pursuits – and by centering on youth development, we will continue to build trust and create opportunities for young people in many of the communities that need us most.
The NYPD will never stop fighting for New Yorkers, and will always work to keep the criminal justice system’s focus where it belongs: on the people we serve.
