WELL, ALBUQUERQUE POLICE SAW A DECREASE IN VIOLENT AND PROPERTY CRIME. MURDER RATES HAD A 71% INCREASE OVER A SPAN OF SIX YEARS. WE STILL HAVE A HOMICIDE PROBLEM. THERE’S THERE’S WE CAN’T DENY THAT WE STILL HAVE A HOMICIDE PROBLEM. APD INVESTIGATED 120 HOMICIDES IN 2022, THE HIGHEST REPORTED FOR A SINGLE YEAR. A CONCERN FOR MANY, BUT APD SAYS THEY’RE TRACKING TRENDS TO HELP TARGET POTENTIAL HOMICIDE OFFENDERS. THAT’S WHAT WE’RE HOPING TO DO, IS INTERVENE WITH SOME OF THOSE LOW LEVEL PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING THEIR WAY UP TO POTENTIALLY BEING HOMICIDE OFFENDERS, MAKING SURE THAT WE GET THE COURTS INVOLVED, MAKE SURE THAT WE HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE AT THAT LEVEL. A TREND THAT WE’RE ALSO SEEING IS SOCIAL MEDIA DISPUTES. AND I THINK WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE IN REFERENCE TO HOMICIDES. AS OF TODAY, 15 HOMICIDES CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED COMPARED TO 27. THIS TIME LAST YEAR. EVERYBODY IS STARTING TO MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND I THINK THE TREND IS THERE. AND WE GOT TO WE GOT TO HOLD ON. WE GOT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. WE KNOW THAT THE MONTH OF JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST ARE TYPICALLY ALWAYS SOME OF OUR TOUGHEST MONTHS WHEN IT COMES TO HOMICIDES AS IT STARTS T
