Mayor Eric Adams says New York City came together to make sure this weekend's celebration of Caribbean culture went safely and smoothly.
The mayor says public safety is not just a police issue.
"We're using and utilizing all of our tools. What all of these men and women have been saying for many years, 'Coach, get us in the game.' They've been sitting on the bench, and they've been trying to play on Team Public Safety. Well, they've got a coach that's putting them in the game," Adams said. The NYPD reports shooting incidents are down citywide more than 30% compared to last August. Murders are also down more than 54%.
