President Trump to visit Nassau County Police Academy to discuss recent crime statistics

President Donald Trump is scheduled to travel to the Nassau County Police Academy in New York on Friday, accompanied by Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel. The officials plan to present findings from the FBI’s forthcoming 2025 Crime Statistics Report, which the agency says shows the largest year-to-year decrease in violent crime since records began in 1936. The report estimates an 18.1% drop in murder and non-negligent manslaughter, an 18.5% decline in robberies, a 7.6% reduction in rapes and a 7.2% fall in aggravated assaults for the year. Property crimes also reportedly fell, with burglaries down 15.8%, larceny 9.8% and motor vehicle theft 22.7%.

During the event, Trump is expected to link the statistics to his administration’s law-and-order policies. White House spokesperson Lauren Bis said the data “prove” the administration’s efforts to improve public safety. Patel noted that a recent federal deployment to Washington, D.C., has contributed to a decline in crime there, citing arrests, drug seizures and illegal firearm seizures made over the past year.

The visit follows a series of announcements by the administration highlighting reductions in various crime categories across the United States.
