Violent crimes in Phoenix have increased over the past 5 years. Today, Phoenix PD released its plan for how it will deal with the crimes to make the community safer.
The Crime Reduction Plan, released Monday, is designed to provide guidance to staff to prevent and reduce crime by utilizing a community and victim-centered approach and focus on a number of key areas, according to a news release from the department.
Interim Chief Michael Sullivan identified four focus areas he believes will drive down violent crime by 5% and property crime by 8%.As part of the plan, police commanders in each precinct around Phoenix will use the Crime Reduction Plan as a guide to customize action plans for their locations. This will help address the issues in individual neighborhoods and business communities in each precinct.
The current crime trend in Phoenix shows that violent crimes have increased over the past five years, while property crimes have decreased. Homicides, aggravated assault and arson have all increased since 2017. Crimes that have decreased include rape, robbery, burglary and theft.Addressing crime is a collaborative effort. Law enforcement needs the help of the community, other city departments, and prosecuting agencies. The partnership between police and community members must be rooted in confidence and trust.
The Phoenix Police Department is committed to addressing the issue of gun violence and other violent crime that has taken the lives of too many of our community members. We will work together with our local, state, and federal partners to do everything we can to hold those people who illegally possess firearms accountable while preserving the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
