The crime rate now stands at 16.10 incidents per 1,000 residents, the lowest recorded since 1993, when the department began tracking crime data.
The decline in crime is attributed to several factors, including active community engagement, the use of advanced crime-fighting technology, and data-driven policing strategies.
The police department has employed predictive analytics to identify crime hotspots and allocate resources effectively.
Additionally, neighborhood watch programs and other safety initiatives have fostered increased cooperation between residents and law enforcement.
