Feliz asks about robbery and burglary decline strategies
Feliz asks about factors driving down robberies and burglaries to near-historic lows. Hout explains the data-driven approach of analyzing where robberies and burglaries occur and precisely deploying officers accordingly.
Talk to us about the robberies and the burglaries.
Those numbers are all sold down compared to last year, and they're almost at historic lows.
Not at historic lows, but almost at historic lows.
What are factors and policies and crime policing strategies that have played a role when it comes to bringing down the robberies and the burglaries at the numbers they are?
Right.
So when we look at robberies and burglaries, again, we look at the data.
We look at where they're happening.
We look at who's committing them.
We look at where we could precisely deploy to combat any future robberies or burglaries.
And again, that can change as needed.
