New York City Mayor Eric Adams touted the "resiliency" of his city and said the goal for 2023 was to bring down crime.
He touted, "We are resilient. Nothing keeps New Yorkers down." Recounting 2022 for the city of New York, the Mayor saw progress: "We’ve had some ups and downs at the beginning of the year, in 2022. We were dealing with just a spike in crime. 40% of our major crimes, shootings, homicides. We were zero focused on violent crimes, particularly gun crimes and homicide. Double-digit decrease."

Regarding 2023, Adams described safety as the goal: "The men and women in police department and other law enforcement agencies responded, and I’m just excited about what the new year has to offer. It’s about being safe."
