Politics: a zohran win could end the nypd's gang database

POLITICS: A Zohran win could end the NYPD’s gang database — and crime spikes that hit minorities most

NYPD boss Jessica Tisch and her rank and file keep scoring impressive wins against crime, thanks in no small part to the department’s gang database.

Yet Zohran Mamdani is vowing to scrap it.

Yet more grounds to pray he doesn’t become mayor.

Major crimes plunged 7% last month, vs. August 2024, the latest stats show — indeed it was overall New York’s safest August on record.

“In the first eight months of the year,” boasts Tisch, “the NYPD drove down shooting incidents and shooting victims to the lowest levels” in city history.

Subway crime has also hit “record lows, excluding the pandemic years.”

Tisch praises the gang database in particular: “Much of the violence” over the last few weeks in The Bronx “is gang-related. We know who the gang members are, thanks to a Criminal Group database. And know where they operate,” so “[we’re] going after them.” Bravo.

These gang-related records have long proven vital, especially when gang-on-gang attacks threaten to escalate.



This spring, Tisch credited it for helping cops nab Tren de Aragua gangbangers who attacked police.

Yet since 2022, Mamdani has pushed to have it dismantled, siding with critics who claim it amounts to racial profiling, since most people in them are black or Hispanic.

D’oh: Most gangs are black and Hispanic; of course a gang database will reflect that.

Thing is, the victims of gang violence are almost entirely minorities.

So scrapping this tool — denying cops critical info to ID potential witnesses and suspects — will hurt blacks and Hispanics most.

Crime victims are invisible men, women and children to Mamdani & Co.: Who are the real racists?

Nor will Mamdani’s pro-crime measures end there: He says he’ll eliminate the NYPD’s elite Strategic Response Group; he won’t add cops despite the force’s shortage, but instead shift resources away from policing to a new Department of Community Safety that would rely on near-useless “violence interruption.”

On Tuesday, Mayor Eric Adams boasted of the city’s recent crime-fighting successes, insisting, “Our public-safety plan is working.”

But it’s guaranteed to stop if Mamdani takes City Hall.
