The twin goals of the Manhattan District Attorney's are delivering safety and fairness, and we know that we cannot have one without the other.
5:09:49
We are achieving these goals with a targeted strategy focusing on the drivers of violence and investing in preventative measures, all of which together keep our communities safe today and in the long term.

We are proud of the downward trend of serious crime over the past two years, including a 45% decline in shootings in Manhattan over the past three years.

Similarly, we're encouraged by the overall 10% drop in index crime in Manhattan from 2022 to 2024.

But despite these encouraging declines, we know we have more work to do and more work to do together.
