One of the ways the nypd and the city are trying to solve the problem is by bringing the officers into this giving them the information that they need to be able to make realtime decisions. For a while, there has been the speculation around the city that maybe you are not a safe and used to be. They are saying that by looking at some of the numbers, it is in fact reality. We have to be concerned about people around me. If you are one of the many new yorkers fearful of getting slashed or stabbed above ground or below, the nypd says numbers do show a concerning tick.
