New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday released a plan to end shootings in the metropolis, which has recorded significant increases in crime since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
To combat the problem, the New York Police Department (NYPD) will ramp up efforts to patrol neighborhoods and seize illegal guns, while improving partnerships with state and federal agencies like the FBI, according to the blueprint (pdf) from Adams, a Democrat who took office on Jan. 1.
