On August 12, 2025, New York City Mayor Eric Adams addressed recent crime concerns and firmly rejected President Donald Trump’s call for a federal takeover of the city’s police department.
Speaking from the Bronx, Adams highlighted significant drops in homicides and shootings across NYC in 2025, emphasizing the NYPD’s ongoing success and strong coordination with federal partners.
Adams urged collaboration on gun control laws but insisted the city’s law enforcement is fully capable of managing public safety.
