Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey explains the NYPD's justification for the recent increase in stop and frisk numbers, citing rising crime rates as the primary factor.
- Crime rates have been increasing, especially after COVID-19
- Police officers are more engaged in trying to reduce crime and bring down shootings
- The increase in stop and frisk numbers correlates with higher crime rates compared to 2016-2018

I mean, if you look at the crime in 16, 17, it it was a lot.
1:57:49
It was significantly lower.
1:57:51
Alright.
1:57:51
We have been going up in crime, especially after COVID.
1:57:55
So, I mean, our police officers are out there.
1:57:56
They're engaged more.
1:57:57
They're trying to reduce the crime.
1:57:59
They're trying to bring down the shootings.

So I think there is a correlation with there being more crime as compared to 16, 17, and 18 versus 21, 22, and 23.
