There were 402 reported major crimes on school grounds during the fiscal year ending June 30, compared to 346 in the previous 12 months, according to department records.
Car thefts on school grounds increased by 20%.
There were no homicides reported at schools the past two fiscal years because most stabbings, shootings, and other violent attacks involving students typically occur near school grounds — not on them. As of February, three students were slain near city schools during the 2022-23 academic year, and at least 18 others were stabbed or shot,In the previous school year, one child was killed and eight were shot or stabbed.
The NYPD handled 1,683 lower-level criminal incidents at city schools last fiscal year, a 4.2% decrease from the previous 12 months — but still 9.4% higher than pre-pandemic levels in fiscal 2019, according to the annual report released last week by the Mayor’s Office that charts department performance.
Non-criminal incidents handled by cops – such as missing persons and mental health issues – have surged — from 4,202 in fiscal 2019, to 5,965 in fiscal 2022 to 6,779 in fiscal 2023.
