In calendar year 2023, NYPD cops made over 13,600 arrests in the subway system.
Of these 13,600 arrests, 124 people were arrested 5 or more times in the subway system in 2023 alone.
When looking further, these 124 people combined, have been arrested over 7,500 times in their lifetimes.
So, in case you’re curious what your cops are doing … well … they’ve arrested these people over 7,500 times!
The better questions are … where is the accountability & consequences for these repeat offenders? How is this happening?
Look no further than the other stakeholders in the justice system … prosecutors, judges, and city & state lawmakers … whose decisions, in large part, determine the outcomes and consequences for every arrest we make and whose decisions have such far reaching impact on the safety of our subway system.
With that said, make no mistake about it, your NYPD cops remain focused and steadfast in their commitment to advancing public safety.
