Mayor, Sheriff Highlight Crime Reductions
July 08, 2016
Yesterday, Mayor Lenny Curry joined Sheriff Mike Williams to release five months of data that shows the 24,000 hours of police overtime since late January has resulted in a decline of non-domestic shootings by nearly 40 percent.
This year, non-domestic shootings have fallen from a high of 90 in January 2016 to 50 in May. The overtime was approved by the mayor and City Council, and is being used to strategically deploy officers working overtime in neighborhoods throughout the city challenged by shootings and other violent and property crimes.
