DC Marks 30-Year Low in Violent Crime with 35% Decrease

Credited from: THEHILL

  • Violent crime rates in Washington D.C. have decreased by 35%, reaching a low not seen in 30 years, as announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
  • U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves credited the drop to effective violence interruption programs and strategic law enforcement interventions focusing on gangs and drug-related violence.
  • Key statistics include a 32% decrease in homicides, 39% drop in robberies, and a 53% reduction in armed carjackings compared to the previous year.
  • The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has utilized technology enhancements, including increased CCTV camera installations and a real-time crime center, to assist in these efforts.
  • This progress follows significant initiatives launched after last year’s peak murder rate, demonstrating the impact of combined community and law enforcement efforts.
