NYPD reports no homicides in New York City in 6 straight days
NEW YORK (WABC) -- The NYPD reported no homicides for six straight days in New York City, and with the year wrapping up, the city may be on track to have fewer murders in 2018 than in 2017.
The five boroughs are on track to have fewer than 300 homicides this year: 283 people were killed in New York City this year. Comparatively, 286 were killed in the city in 2017.
To put these numbers in perspective, the city of Baltimore, with a population of 600,000, has had more murders this year than New York, with a population of 8.5 million.
The NYPD attributes their success partially to a neighborhood policing model, which it describes as "improved communication and collaboration between local police officers and community residents."
