A recent press conference was held to discuss crime trends. Major reductions were seen in certain crimes, including homicides and auto theft, during a specific three-month period. This decrease is compared to the same time frame the previous year.

The number of juvenile homicide victims also decreased significantly, with only one reported this summer. A city program that engaged thousands of young people is partially credited with the drop in crime.

Further details about the press conference and crime statistics are available, including a recording of the full event.
