I’m with the prior two commentators, I don’t believe a word of the lines Bloomy and Kelly are feeding the public. Endless stories about cops telling residents not to file reports for serious matters.

I’d be interested in what gets counted and what doesn’t. A friend in Sunnyside reported an attempted assault that occurred in the wee hours but the cops kept telling her the guy ‘probably thought she was cute.’ I would assume the ‘official statistics’ are lower than reality.

Yes, I believe Bloomberg’s crime stats. I also heard there was a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. Will have to check that out.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide.
