THREE ZIP CODES. LMPD STRATEGIC PLAN TO FIGHT CRIME IN THE METRO APPEARS TO BE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES. BOTH HOMICIDES AND NON-FATAL SHOOTINGS ARE DOWN FROM THIS TIME LAST YEAR. THERE HAVE BEEN 41 PEOPLE KILLED SO FAR IN 2025. THIS TIME LAST YEAR, 63 PEOPLE HAD BEEN KILLED. THAT맥스카지노�S A NEARLY 35% DECREASE AND 93 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED IN SHOOTINGS DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD LAST YEAR, 133 PEOPLE WERE INJURED. THAT맥스카지노�S NEARLY A 28% INCREASE OR DECREASE. RATHER. 비바카지노 Viva WISE, ALEXIS MATTHEWS TALKED WITH LMPD. SHE JOINS US NOW IN THE NEWSROOM TO EXPLAIN THIS STRATEGY THAT PRIORITIZES NEIGHBORHOODS NEEDING IMPROVEMENT. ALEXIS. WELL, RICK. SUSTAINED FOCUSED IMPROVEMENT IN A NUTSHELL IS LOUISVILLE POLICE HONING IN ON FIVE AREAS FROM THE RUSSELL NEIGHBORHOOD TO COMMUNITIES IN SOUTH LOUISVILLE THAT NEED ENHANCEMENT BEYOND REDUCING VIOLENT CRIME. NOW, THIS MODEL BELIEVES REACHING THAT GOAL REQUIRES A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT WITH A MURDER RATE RIVALING THAT OF LARGER CITIES. LOUISVILLE POLICE IS SIX MONTHS INTO THEIR NEW PLAN OF ACTION TO TACKLE THE ISSUE AND REDUCE VIOLENT CRIME. OVERALL. IN PREVIOUS YEARS, WE DIDN맥스카지노�T NECESSARILY HAVE A PLAN THAT WAS WRITTEN ON PAPER AND PUT IN PAPER, PUT ON PAPER, COMMUNICATED TO THE COMMUNITY IN THE SAME WAY THAT IT맥스카지노�S COMMUNICATED TO OUR OFFICERS OF THE PLAN맥스카지노�S THREE STRATEGIES TO CRIME FIGHTING SUSTAINED FOCUS. IMPROVEMENT IS ALREADY PRODUCING CHANGE. THE EVIDENCE BASED AND DATA DRIVEN MODEL TAKES A WHOLE HEALTH APPROACH TO CRIME REDUCTION BY FOSTERING VIBRANT COMMUNITIES, IT AIMS TO MEET BASIC NEEDS IN FIVE SPECIFIC PROBLEM AREAS, STRETCHING FROM NEIGHBORHOODS IN WEST TO SOUTH LOUISVILLE. IN THOSE AREAS, WE HAD A 43% REDUCTION OF HOMICIDES IN THOSE THOSE AREAS, A 15% REDUCTION IN OVERALL VIOLENT CRIME, WHICH IS WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO SEE. LMPD SAYS IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE MORE COMMUNITY POLICE ENGAGEMENT AND SELF-INITIATED POLICE ACTIVITY, WHICH THE CHIEF SAYS IS UP 375% IN THE RUSSELL NEIGHBORHOOD ALONE. REPAIRING URBAN BLIGHT IS ALSO A PRIORITY. IT맥스카지노�S LED TO 90% OF THE 3800 STREET LIGHTS THAT WERE OUT IN SFI AREAS BEING RESTORED IN 300,000 POUNDS OF DEBRIS BEING REMOVED. PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THESE AREAS, THEY DON맥스카지노�T WANT TRASH IN THEIR ALLEYS. THEY DON맥스카지노�T WANT TREE BRANCHES, YOU KNOW, CLOGGING UP THEIR THEIR STREETS. AND YOU KNOW, THEY WANT TO LIVE IN AN AREA THAT THAT IS NICE AND THEY WANT TO LIVE IN AN AREA THAT THEY ARE PROUD OF. DEPUTY CHIEF EMILY MCKINLEY, WHO IS A VETERAN ON LMPD맥스카지노�S FORCE, SAYS THE DEPARTMENT PLANS TO KEEP THIS MOMENTUM GOING. BUT COMMUNITY SAFETY IS A BATTLE THAT CANNOT BE WON ALONE. WE KNOW THAT IT TAKES NOT JUST THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, IT TAKES A GROUP EFFORT TO DO THAT. AND THAT맥스카지노�S EXACTLY WHAT THIS PLAN DOES. AND THE SUSTAINED, FOCUSED IMPROVEMENT APPROACH ALSO ESTABLISHED A WORK GROUP. NOW THIS INCLUDES DIFFERENT METRO AGENCIES FROM PUBLIC WORKS, ALCOHOL AND BEVERAGE CONTROL AND CODES AND REGULATIONS. AND THIS RECENT DATA CAME FROM THEIR FIRST QUARTER
