NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch has identified the Bronx as the prime location for car theft, attributing this to the leniency of District Attorney Darcel Clarke's policies. Despite a 12% decrease in car thefts citywide, the Bronx has experienced a 3.6% rise, due primarily to Clarke’s avoidance of felony charges against car thieves. This erodes public trust in leadership, as crime continues to rise in the Bronx, leading to calls for serious reforms. Tisch believes that these issues can be addressed effectively if proper measures are taken.
Jessica Tisch highlighted at the Citizens Crime Commission meeting that the Bronx is currently the easiest place to steal a car due to lenient prosecution policies.
The data shows that although car thefts citywide decreased by 12%, the Bronx saw a 3.6% rise due to the District Attorney's leniency.
Tisch expressed concern about the approach taken by the DA's office, illustrating that many offenders are escaping serious prosecution, thus contributing to the increase in car theft.
Tisch optimistically pointed out that the crime issues being faced are solvable with the right actions, rather than being insurmountable due to socioeconomic factors.
