The latest report from the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs is alarming—it shows murders have spiked to an all-time high, with the now lowest per-capita number of officers to handle them. FOX13
The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs has been collecting criminal data for the state since 1980. In its 43rd report, the numbers are alarming.
It's common knowledge at this point—since the time of the pandemic, Washington has been hemorrhaging law enforcement. Washington has the lowest number of police officers per capita in the country. In regard to crime, it's not just homicide that's up. Robberies and vehicle theft are up as well.Almost 400 people were murdered in the state last year alone.
"That correlation is an important one, and to think about the fact that there were 2,000 more officers and deputies on the street, if we still had the same relatively low per-capita number that we had in 1994," Strachan said. Another statistic of concern, according to this report—the number of violent incidents towards officers and deputies has risen 20% since last year, at 2,375 assaults.
