[quote=Anonymous]Fortunately, crime is down this year, although everyone working in the criminal justice system is worried about a typical surge in the warmer months. Before this, we had only had one homicide in the county this year, which is much lower than normal. However, gun violence is still frequent. Machete violence is still occurring. These incidents just don't make the news as often because we don't have particularly robust local news coverage anymore. No level of crime is acceptable. But we can't eradicate it all. A good goal would be to keep it under 2013 stats, which have been the lowest in decades. There were 8 homicides that year. There were 34 in 2021 and 29 in 2023. I hope this year is more like 2013.[/quote]
