    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 3, 2021

    NYPD Announces Citywide Crime Statistics for May 2021

    New York, New York – For the month of May 2021, overall index crime in New York
    City rose 22% compared with May 2020, driven by a 46.7% increase in robbery (1,182 v.
    806) and a 35.6% increase in grand larceny (2,848 v. 2,101). Felony assault saw a 20.5%
    increase compared to May 2020 (1,979 v. 1,643), and shooting incidents increased to 173
    v. 100 in May 2020 (+73%). Burglary was the only index crime to post a reduction – down
    21.8% (942 v. 1,205) in May 2021, compared to the previous year. There were 37 murders
    in May 2021, the same as May 2020.

    As the summer months approach, the NYPD remains acutely focused on reducing violence
    across the five boroughs. Working in tandem with community partners, listening to local
    concerns and implementing intelligence-driven strategies are all integral to improved
    public safety. By continually scrutinizing each act of violence, NYPD commanders remain
    nimble in their deployment of officers to the most impacted areas of the city. At the same
    time, the court system’s operational capacity continues to broaden – allowing the NYPD
    and its prosecutorial partners to increasingly hold drivers of violence accountable through
    the culmination of long-term investigations.

    “NYPD cops have shown us time and again they are willing to go in harm’s way on behalf
    of all New Yorkers,” said Police Commissioner Dermot Shea. “It is this commitment to
    our collective public safety – in tandem with the communities we serve – that will allow
    our great city to prevail in the challenges we face together.”
