Overview
- Police recorded 330 suspected antisemitic incidents out of 576 total hate crimes in 2025, roughly one reported anti-Jewish incident every 26 hours.
- The total dipped about 3% from 2024’s 339 cases, while overall reported hate crimes fell 12% year over year.
- Officials, led by Commissioner Jessica Tisch, said antisemitism remains the most persistent hate threat and announced expanded coordination with Jewish institutions, targeted patrols near synagogues and schools, and intensified investigations of online threats.
- The NYPD emphasized the numbers reflect suspected bias offenses that can be reclassified, and that hate-crime convictions require proof of discriminatory motive.
- State Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein criticized the modest decline as offering very little comfort, noting just nine fewer cases than last year’s record.
