According to the latest crime stats from the 47th Precinct, murder is down more than 71%, and transit crime dropped by more than 83% compared to this same time last year.

Officials had gathered back in March at the Barclays Center Train Station to discuss the issue of crime in the city's subway system. 

Mayor Eric Adams, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell and MTA Chair Janno Lieber descended the stairs of the station to announce some good news to New Yorkers: transit crime had dropped by over 9% last month compared to last year, marking the second consecutive month that crime has declined in the subway system. 

To combat subway crime, the NYPD had added more than 1,200 officers to patrol the subway as part of a program called Cops, Cameras, and Care.
