NYPD Announces Citywide Crime Statistics for June 2021

July 6, 2021

For the month of June 2021, the number of murders and shooting incidents in New York City declined compared with June 2020. Murder decreased by 23.3% (33 v. 43) while shooting incidents decreased by 19.5% (165 v. 205). The department made 361-gun arrests for the month of June, a 99.4 % increase compared with the same period a year ago.

In June 2021, overall index crime in the city rose 3.1% compared with June 2020, driven by a 32.3% increase in grand larceny (3,123 v. 2,361), a 31.2% increase in Grand Larceny Auto (921 v. 702), and a 16% increase in robbery (1,121 v. 966). For the month of June, the crime of burglary posted a 49.6% reduction (927 v. 1,828) compared to the previous year.

As summer proceeds, the NYPD remains focused on precision policing to reduce violence across all five boroughs. Investigators are continuing to build comprehensive long-term cases against those who carry out violence using firearms – as demonstrated by the most recent 81-count indictment in Brooklyn that charged 14 alleged gang members in connection to 11 shooting incidents. With the court system expanding its operational capacity, the NYPD and its prosecutorial partners will continue to present these types of long-term investigations that expressly target drivers of violence.

Working in tandem with community partners is also integral to the department’s overall public safety strategy, listening to local concerns and implementing intelligence-driven plans. As always, NYPD commanders scrutinize every act of violence and remain flexible in their deployment of officers to violence hotspots, as well as their strategic use of overtime to increase police presence at critical times --- while also monitoring the latest crime trends to best utilize a wide array of departmental resources.

“Keeping all New Yorkers safe is what drives us, and your police officers are working with community members around the clock to do just that,” said Police Commissioner Dermot Shea. “Through targeted deployment and collaborative efforts with those we serve, the department continues in its mission to stamp out criminal activity and hold those who commit acts of violence to account.”
