NYPD under Tisch STILL bringing crime down — except when Mamdani stops it
In February as in January, the NYPD continued to reduce crime to record lows — except where City Hall waved cops off.
In other words, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch can keep doing her job unless Mayor Zohran Mamdani gets in her way.
Crime in the subway spiked nearly 20% after the mayor ordered police and other city workers not to force the homeless (or anyone else) out of the subway system during the February snow and below-freezing temps.
As a result, the month showed a 61% drop in ejections from January’s level — and a jump in offenses to more than 190.
Otherwise, the NYPD’s ranks are doing great through Feb. 28, with record-low shooting incidents, shooting victims and murders.
Mamdani wants to give you ‘free’ 2-K in the worst way

Murders fell 33.3% (16 vs. 24 in January-February 2025).
Shooting incidents dropped 45.5%
Shooting victims declined 36.4%, and robberies by 33%.
February saw retail theft fall 24.7% over the same month a year ago; crime in public housing, 14.7%.
In the wake of Tisch’s effective use of “precision policing” that made 2025 the safest year ever in the Big Apple, with historic reductions in major crime and gun violence; 2026 can be better still.
Yet Mamdani is already risking those gains by leaving NYPD spending flat and rolling back hiring plans.
If he interferes more with Tisch, the subway crime blip tells you where the city will be headed.
