Officials Concerned Over Increased Crime, Shootings in NYC, Hudson Valley

January 27, 2022 by Jeff Lewis

A rash of shootings in the city has tensions running high with the mayor looking to make changes in the police force, more aggressively get guns off the streets, get bail and criminal justice reforms fixed, possibly revive a controversial anti-crime unit and force city cops to live in the city. Escalating crime has struck the Hudson Valley as well. On Tuesday, in New Rochelle, a 17-year-old was shot and killed, allegedly at the hands of a 16-year-old suspect who was in custody after a shooting in New Rochelle.

Hochul yesterday led the first meeting of the Interstate Task Force on Illegal Guns, a multi-state group designed to share intelligence, tools, tactics, and strategies to combat gun violence, and gun trafficking. Rockland police departments have worked with the state attorney general and other police agencies to get guns off the streets. Sheriff Falco says any gun turned in, is a gun that can’t ever be used to kill anyone ever again.
