Addressing Rising Crime Rates in New York: How Private Security Can Help
Recent headlines have put a spotlight on the escalating crime rates in New York. The tragic shooting death of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller in Far Rockaway, Queens, sent shockwaves throughout the city. Moreover, a recent survey conducted by the Citizens Budget Commission shed light on the deep-seated unease pervading New York City neighborhoods regarding safety. The findings are sobering, indicating a significant lack of satisfaction among residents with the current state of security.
Confidence in the safety of the city’s subway system has plummeted to alarming levels, particularly after nightfall, with a mere 22 percent of respondents expressing a sense of security.
Additionally, recent days have seen a disturbing trend of sudden, violent attacks on young women in New York City. Victims, predominantly young and white, recount being assaulted while walking in lower Manhattan.
Beyond New York City:
The year 2020 witnessed a notable surge in various crimes nationwide, including murders, assaults, and car thefts, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. The rise in homelessness has also contributed to heightened safety concerns across America, underscoring the urgent need for effective security measures.
In the wake of these events, citizens, policymakers, and law enforcement agencies alike are grappling with how best to address the underlying issues contributing to this troubling trend. At GoJoe Patrol, we remain vigilant in monitoring the evolving situation while actively contributing to a robust solution.
