The union head, which represents roughly 19,000 active and retired detectives, said it’s time to change the tone with the mayoral race just days away. Do you think crime will stabilize in New York City with new leadership? It’s just not as vocal as it once was.”Shootings alone last year in New York City rose 97 percent when compared with 2019, as 1,531 were hit by gunfire. The union head blamed much of the issue on bail reform laws which see people arrested with illegal weapons, or those who commit other crimes which are sometimes violent, released quickly from jail. He hopes de Blasio’s replacement will share his interest in bringing safety back to New York City.
