Phoenix Police are happy with reduction in violent crime numbers but are trying to lower those numbers further with their latest Crime Reduction Plan.
Phoenix Police are very pleased with the job they did in 2023, reducing violent crime and property crimes.Based on their latest Crime Reduction Plan, the department believes they can bring those numbers down further by targeting the most violent criminals in the most dangerous places.Critics, however, are saying this could lead to over-policing in black and brown communities.
The map is built by collecting data on the number of calls for service, arrest numbers, and community complaints, allowing them to identify the areas that need the most attention.Isabel García, a community safety strategist at Poder in Action, criticized the approach. "We know that Phoenix Police has a well-documented and long history of discrimination and violence against people of color," she said.
