April 12, 2023

In 2022, crime fell considerably in nearly all categories from 2021 including violent crime and property crimes, according to a report to the city council by Police Chief Steven M. Sargent. In his report, Sargent attributed the department’s community policing model, the implementation of technology such as ShotSpotter and ResourceRouter (formerly ShotSpotter Connect) and programs that work with at-risk youths as strategies that have made a difference.
