A drastic change in NYPD strategy has led to an overall decrease in crime, following an increase in 2023 on Staten Island. The NYPD adopted a tactical shift in late summer 2023, developing a complex, multi-state system for gathering and analyzing intelligence as a strategy for cracking down on car thefts and burglaries in particular. Deputy Chief Joseph Gulotta, former commander of the NYPD’s Staten Island precinct, told the Advance/SILive.com in an interview last December.
