flag NYPD creates largest U.S. domestic violence unit with 450 investigators to combat rising cases.

flag The NYPD is launching a new citywide domestic violence unit with 450 investigators, the largest of its kind in the U.S., to address a 29% rise in cases over the past year and a 41% increase since 2020. flag The unit, announced by Mayor Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, will place dedicated investigators in every precinct, coordinate with social services, and use data-driven strategies to improve case handling and victim support. flag The move aims to treat domestic violence with the same urgency as gun violence and hate crimes, following a surge in felony assaults linked to intimate partner abuse. flag The reorganization includes a 18-month career path to detective promotion amid a significant loss of experienced officers due to retirements.
