For the first time in history, New York City went an entire 24 hours without any crime! This is a massive feat for a city as old as NYC and especially for one with such a tradition of being violent and dangerous.
On Monday, the New York City Police Department stated that for an entire day no one had reported any muggings, stabbings, murders, break ins or any other violent crimes of any sort. There are over 8 million people living in NYC, so a complete day without crime is incredible rare!
While it has had a reputation for violent crime, the murder rate in NYC is currently the lowest it has been in over 50 years. Residents credit the NYPD for being more diligent and studious in their duty to serve and protect.
Let’s hope there are many more crime free days in NYC’s future!
