NYPD commissioner disbands plainclothes anti-crime units

“Anti-Crime’s mission was to protect New Yorkers by proactively preventing crime, especially gun violence. Shooting and murders are both climbing steadily upward, but our city leaders have clearly decided that proactive policing isn’t a priority anymore,” PBA President Patrick Lynch said. “They chose this strategy. They will have to reckon with the consequences.”

FOX 5NY: NEW YORK – The NYPD is eliminating its Anti-Crime Units on the precinct level and public housing area level, Commissioner Dermot Shea announced on Monday. About 600 officers will be reassigned to the detective bureau, neighborhood policing program, and other units effective immediately. 

Anti-crime officers typically operate in plainclothes, Shea said, and focus on getting illegal guns off the streets of New York. That has led to those cops being involved in a number of shootings, the commissioner said. 

He added that the department will continue to fight violent crime and illegal guns through many modern programs and units. more

  1. If you just stop enforcing the law there will be less Biden/Cumo/De Blasio voters going to jail. That is what it boils down to. If the Democrats thought they could win on “Law & Order” the riots would have been shut down the first night.

  2. These blue cities are not realizing or just don’t care about the long term damage they are doing. I do because these leftists with money are going to infect all the red states that remains when they flee and we don’t have much more to go in some of them before it is game over. I’m already fighting a purple moving to blue county in central Tx and it is getting close to being lost and probably will soon since it is growing like crazy.

  3. In NYC…Blacks are 23 percent of New York’s population, but they commit 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crime, according to the victims of, and witnesses to, those crimes.

    The way de Blasio treat things is clear, we do not want to arrest criminals that might be of color in NYC, but if you are Jewish, you need to shut up and stop confusing black people robbing and beating you with the White Nationalist who are your biggest threat to you safety and well being(even though there are hardly any in the 5 boroughs).

  4. So…the chances of being accosted by someone not in a police uniform but who is a cop just dropped to zero. That means they ARE a bad guy, feel free to empty your mag…
