This is about providing the Bronx with the same standards that Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan already have and about bringing a real commitment to lowering crime in this borough. We've already made tremendous progress here in the Bronx in terms of bringing down crime. No borough saw a larger decline in major crime for the month of April, down more than 15% last month and 11% since the start of the year. This year, auto theft is down. Shootings are down. Murders are down. We will build on that progress not by surrendering our momentum, but by pursuing the proven solutions that we know to work. (16:34–16:44)
