HARRISON, N.Y. — Police and officials from St. Vincent's Hospital are working to reverse an increase in criminal activity at the hospital and the surrounding areas that has become apparent over the last year.

The hospital is also currently investigating a suicide that occurred on its campus Dec. 3.
