San Antonio's hot spot policing strategy continues to show promising results, police officials and researchers said Tuesday.
The first six months of data from a new plan to reduce crime in San Antonio shows a more than 40% reduction in violent crime in"hot spots" around the city.to show promising results, police officials and researchers said Tuesday.
“The theory behind this strategy is if you can reduce violent crime in the most crime-producing areas, then we can then potentially move the needle across the entire city,” said Michael Smith, a UTSA criminology and criminal justice professor and director of the university’s Center for Applied Community and Policy Research.
There were also areas surrounding some hot spots that saw increased violent crime, which could indicate crime is just moving outside of the hot spot, Smith noted while presenting a mid-year progress report to City Council’s Public Safety Committee, but “there’s no consistent evidence of displacement in the areas immediately around those being treated. In fact, most of those areas have benefited from the crime plan.”that starts with increasing police officer visibility in high-crime areas.
Councilman Jalen McKee-Rodriguez , a frequent critic of SAPD, has pushed for the city to move more quickly on this second phase.
