“In fact, it has now been 178 days since the last murder on Staten island, the second longest period in recorded history. Additionally, Overall crime in public housing fell 7.2% year to date and reached record lows for murders, shooting incidents, shooting victims and robberies. None of that is accidental. It is a direct result of the hard work and commitment of so many in this room. Since January 1st, the NYPD has taken more than 1,000 guns off of our streets.” (02:00–02:10)
