Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that there has been an 18 percent drop in crime this year at the Ingersoll Houses in Fort Greene.
The mayor says the drop in crime is remarkable. The housing complex is one of 15 New York City housing developments that received millions of dollars to make improvements to combat violence.
Mayor de Blasio says the money was not only for additional police presence, but also for additional lighting and more recreational programs.
Some residents say that they have noticed a difference, while others say more needs to be done.
Overall, residents say that the extra police patrols make them feel safer.
