“#Mayor de Blasio denies NYPD slowdown, falsely claims arrests are up<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday denied there is an NYPD slowdown, instead touting a \u201cconsistent increase\u201d in arrests \u2014 despite department stats showing that arrests are down, along with the issuance of traffic tickets.<\/p>\n

When asked about the app<\/a>arent foot-dragging by The Post during a City Hall press briefing, de Blasio replied, \u201cI respect the question, but I think some of this information is very selective.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no question in my mind that after everything, the perfect storm everyone went through in this city after so many cops were out sick, after all the dislocations, the criminal justice system not working \u2013 everything \u2014 that you are now seeing a consistent increase in the number of arrests, particularly gun arrests, more and more activity to address where we\u2019re having problems in some communities with violence,\u201d Hizzoner claimed, referring in part to the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t doubt for a moment that things are swinging back the other way very quickly,\u201d de Blasio said.<\/p>\n

The latest NYPD data shows, though, cops have made nearly 10,000 fewer arrests over the last month \u2014 a 56-percent dip compared to last year. For the year, arrests are down almost 40 percent.<\/p>\n

And collars for firearms haven\u2019t outpaced 2019 numbers since the last week in May.<\/p>\n

Gun arrests are down 8.1 percent overall for this year \u2013 with 1,899 busts versus 2,066 during the same period last year.<\/p>\n

From Aug. 3 through Sunday, the department recorded 62 gun arrests compared to 86 during the same time frame last year, stats released Monday show.<\/p>\n

The week prior, police made 54 gun arrests compared to 59 the year before \u2014 which is the first week since mid-June the NYPD came close to 2019 numbers.<\/p>\n

In June, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea disbanded the anti-crime unit, which was tasked with getting guns off the street. Despite the dip, Shea has repeatedly claimed that dissolving the unit has had no effect on arrest numbers.<\/p>\n

De Blasio has continually but erroneously blamed a coronavirus-induced partial court shutdown for the wave of gun violence that has rocked the city in recent weeks \u2014 though NYPD data does not support that conclusion.<\/p>\n

Asked Tuesday how the court closures explain the dramatic declines in NYPD traffic tickets issued, the mayor reasoned in circles that \u201cA perfect storm is a perfect storm.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had so much dislocation in the NYPD and every city agency, we\u2019ve had so much shifting around that we had to do as a result,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

De Blasio continued, \u201cA huge number of changes have been made in the last weeks, even, redeploying officers to other duties. Obviously, we didn\u2019t have the April recruit class, we didn\u2019t have the June class, there\u2019s a lot of adjustments that have had to be made.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what is clear is the adjustments have been made and are putting the energy, putting the officers where the need is greatest, which is fighting the gun violence and more and more, of course, doing that with community members and community organizations,\u201d the mayor said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
