Congrats to New Orleans for helping to lower the overall crime rate in America, and thank you also to President Biden and Vice President Harris for your efforts in keeping America safe.
NEW ORLEANS - Crime experts are reporting that it's been 18 days without a murder in New Orleans.
Just two years ago, New Orleans was considered the murder capital of the U.S. Now, experts say we are leading the nation in crime reduction.
The Metropolitan Crime Commission said this is the longest we have gone without a murder since it started tracking murders in 2019.
Rafael Goyeneche said, "No one is declaring victory and saying we can go home and celebrate. We have had some streaks where we had 10, 12, and 15 days, but never 18."
Goyeneche said an uptick in proactive policing, more state police presence along with more arrests and traffic stops are all contributing factors.
Community advocate Sess 4-5 said, "I think a lot of people in this city have been impacted by crime. And a lot of that crime is economic, the poverty here in the city."
The decrease is noticeable to those who work every day in the community.
