'No neighborhood is safe': Nearly every single police precinct in New York City has seen spikes in crime - including five in which the rate has DOUBLED: Queens is battered hardest with 142% rise in overall crime

 Nearly every single police precinct in New York City has seen spikes in crime this year - including five in which the rate has doubled, new data from the New York Police Department show.

'No neighborhood is safe,' one Brooklyn cop told The New York Post on Tuesday, offering a grim forecast for the future of the crime-ravaged city.

'At this rate, we will lose the city by St. Patrick's Day.'

According to recently released statistics, 72 of the five boroughs' 77 precincts saw an increase in crime this year when compared to the same period in 2021, with only three recording a marginal decrease in criminal offenses.    

Two precincts, including the one covering the city's scenic Central Park, recorded no change at all - a statistic that may be misleading due to the area's low crime rate when compared to areas that are actually populated.

'Only the squirrels are safe,' another anonymous cop joked to The Post Tuesday. 'Tourists will never come back.'

Since Mayor Eric Adams unveiled his 'Blueprint to End Gun Violence' on January 24, at least 49 people have been shot in The City That Never Sleeps, and at least 12 have been murdered.

Violent crime in general has surged in the city over the past year, with many different factors including increased tensions between the police and public, unemployment rates, soft-on-crime politicians and bail reform being cited as potential causes.

According to the recently released crime data - which takes into account offenses occurring up until the week ending on February 6 - robberies have soared by almost 35 per cent when compared to the same period in 2021. 

Rape has also increased by more than 35 per cent and overall crime in the Big Apple has skyrocketed by 41.65 percent, according to the data.

Murders, meanwhile, are down 13 percent at this time over last year, while shootings have increased by a startling 30 percent.  

The new NYPD CompStat numbers show that five precincts saw overall crime double since the start of the year, in neighborhoods in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn.   

West Harlem's 26th Precinct recorded an 122 percent increase in overall crime, primarily driven by rising rates of burglaries, grand larceny, and assaults.

The Manhattan precinct has seen burglaries skyrocket to 30 so far this year compared to just seven for the same period in 2021 - an increase of more than 400 percent - while grand larcenies and felony assaults nearly doubled from 15 to 29 and eight to 15, respectively. 

The neighborhood was brought to a standstill last weekend after an off-duty NYPD officer was shot and wounded in the neighborhood after attending a memorial service in the area - the seventh cop to be shot in the city so far this year.

'I think it's crazy,' Harlem resident Elizabeth Jenkins told The Post. 'It's a lot of fear because it's all over the place, and right here, it's really bad.'

Many blame the sudden influx of crime on soft policies on career criminals and violent offenders implemented by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who was sworn in at the start of the year.     

Jenkins said of Bragg, who himself is a Harlem resident, is failing his own neighborhood.

'I think he's not good,' she said. 'He's not good on crime as far as I can see. He can do better. There's a lot of crime, and he's not really dong anything about it.'

Bragg conceded on Tuesday that Harlem 'is in the middle of a crisis' but said he's committing to taking more guns off the streets.

'I still live in Harlem, in the upper part of the borough, which is really in the middle of a crisis,' Bragg said during a virtual conference addressing the increase in gun violence.

'I was at an anti-gun rally on Saturday [in Harlem], and then I left and found out that a few blocks away at almost the exact time, there was another shooting,' said the prosecutor, referring to the incident with the off-duty cop in West Harlem.

'And then I was at an anti-gun rally [in Washington Heights] on Sunday, and then … I learned that on my way to church after that rally, there was another shooting. So we’re really in crisis,' Bragg added. 

City worker Jose Rodriguez, who lives within Harlem's beleaguered 26th Precinct, blames police for the neighborhood's current situation.

Bragg has come under fire for polices that aim to eliminate prison sentences for all but the most serious crimes, downgrade felony charges in certain cases of armed robbery and burglary, and drop charges for many low-level offenses

'You hear shots, and they don't show up. If they show up, they show up when it's done. It's pathetic, the response time, and they're only a block away,' he told the Post Tuesday.

'You really don't see them,' he added. 'If you see them, they're parked in their car. and they don't come out. Reality is they need to go back to the old way when they walked the street.'     

Queens has also been hit hard by the influx of crime, the data shows, with the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst showing the highest jump in crime of all, with an increase of more than 142 percent.

The area saw felony assaults rise from 28 to 59 this year, and robberies to 30 from 18 last year. 

Grand larcenies, however, comprised most of the percentage hike, with 197 incidents so far this year after just 43 in the same span in 2021.

Local contractor Luis Gutierrez blamed the crime spree on the dire economic situation in the area since the start of the pandemic.

'It gets worse because the prices go up, the rent goes up, the diapers, everything goes up but the jobs,' the father of four told The Post Tuesday. 'My wife is too afraid, so we move to Suffolk [County], Long Island, next month.' 

 The borough's neighboring 107th Precinct, in Fresh Meadows in Queens, also saw crime more than double since the New Year, with an increase of 118 percent.

Brooklyn's 72nd Precinct in Sunset Park and 69th Precinct in Canarsie also saw crime increase by more than 100 percent, with increases of 107 and 105 percent, respectively.

A multitude of other areas boasted rates that approached 100 percent. 

Some attribute the rise in crime to the COVID surge seen this time last year, which came when the nation had less access to vaccines, which kept many indoors, including criminals and their targets.

With that said, the percentage of current crimes in the city remain up even from pre-pandemic levels by nearly 10 percent, with felony assaults, car thefts, and grand larcenies increasing citywide, police data shows. 

Amid the surge in violent crimes, New York City Mayor Eric Adams - a former cop who campaigned on bolstering a police force neutered by anti-police movements like 'Defund the Police,' has criticized new DA Bragg for his soft-on-crime approach.

'We need to now stop the domestic terror that we're living out every day in these cities,' Adams, 61, told radio anchor Rita Cosby on her late-night program The Rita Cosby Show last week, speaking on how he plans to address the city's massive crime surge since assuming office last month.

During the interview, the former NYPD captain blamed the increase on sweeping policy changes Bragg made last month that lighten punishments for armed robbery and burglary suspects and allow career criminals and repeat offenders back on the streets after committing violent, felony offenses.

'Let's be clear. We are in a city, in a country, where consequences must go with inappropriate actions,' Adams asserted after being questioned about his opinion on Bragg's policies and the surge of crimes seen since the start of the pandemic.

The mayor declared that currently 'there is no appropriate response to [criminals'] bad behavior' thanks to Bragg's policies, which aim to eliminate prison sentences for all but the most serious crimes, downgrade felony charges in certain cases of armed robbery and burglary, and drop charges for many low-level offenses.

'The laws have shown that and it's troubling, when you could have a person that carries a gun repeatedly, and they're treated in family court instead of criminal court,' Adams said.

'I think we need to tweak, tweak the law to reflect that that's unacceptable,' he added.
