Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch touted the NYPD’s gang database as key in combating the rising gang violence in the Bronx — a tool that Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani has vowed to abolish.

“Much of the violence of what we’ve seen over the last few weeks in the Bronx is gang-related — we know who the gang members are thanks to a Criminal Group database and know where they operate,” said the city’s top cop, praising what has also been referred to as the gang database.

“We know who the people are and are going after them,” she added on 1010 Wins Wednesday morning.

In 2022, Mamdani, the far-left Democratic nominee in the mayoral race, joined a trio of council members calling for the dismantling of the gang database.

During the primary, the socialist lawmaker from Queens doubled down during a series of forums.

Flanked by Mayor Eric Adams, fresh off his birthday jaunt to Florida, Tisch played down recent shootings as outliers.

“Our shooting incidents in the borough of the Bronx are down 20%,” she said, adding, “The shootings in the borough of the Bronx is trending down.”

Adams blamed the series of tragic high-profile incidents for creating the feeling of unease — despite the numbers speaking otherwise.

“We’re clear that some of these high-profile shootings with multiple victims, it just creates a feeling of unsafe and we have been focusing on that,” he said. “But the numbers don’t lie, the city is still the safest big city in the country.”

The NYPD gang database, operational since 2013, is considered a vital crime-fighting tool by the department, with thousands of entries and intel that includes distinctive tattoos linked to criminal groups and gangs.

It lists more than 500 groups, with nearly half of the reputed gang members having been previously arrested. 

Mamdani is also not the first to question the database, which has come under attack in the past by lefty pols who say it constitutes racial profiling and targets minorities.

Meanwhile, major crimes were down 6.7% in the five boroughs last month compared to the same span last year, while the number of shootings and victims has hit record lows since the start of the year. 

Marring those numbers was a 33% jump in murders and a 24% bump in rapes last month compared to 2024, the data shows.

Tisch blamed that blip on gang-related violence in the Bronx, including a shooting at a basketball tournament at Haffen Park that left a 32-year-old man dead and four others wounded — two critically.

Four reputed gangbangers, one just 16, were later charged with murder.The shooting was part of a burst of violence within the confines of the NYPD’s 47th Precinct, which has seen a 50% surge in shootings so far this year — bucking a citywide trend that has seen most crimes decrease.
