So far this year, New York City schools have seen a dramatic increase in weapons seizure when compared to 2019.
From July through November, 10 firearms were recovered at NYC schools compared to just one in that period in 2019.
“Weapons have absolutely no place in our schools, and our outstanding school safety agents work every day to stop dangerous items from entering our school and keep our schools safe,” a Department of Education spokesperson said. “We worked in partnership with the NYPD to increase scanning in priority communities and the increase in recovered is a result of this vigilant work keeping dangerous items out of our schools.”
