Tracking Crime In NYC Parks
New Yorkers for Parks Releases First Ever Report on Park Safety
Prior to legislation passed in 2005, the NYPD did not report crimes in parks, but rather at the closest street intersection. The legislation mandated that the NYPD track crime in the city’s 20 largest parks. New Yorkers for Parks’ new report, “Tracking Crime in NYC Parks,” provides analysis of the first 18 months of tracking crime in the 20 largest city parks. The report also offers recommendations to expand the program and increase park safety.
