Harrison said in 2020, the department saw decreases in both violent crime and property crime. There was a 4% reduction in murders and a 6% reduction in non-fatal shootings. There was a 29% decrease in property crime.
"We know that way too many people were harmed and killed through murders and shootings," Harrison said. "It's still too violent."
There was also a 32% decrease in robberies.
"I can assure you we will not rest," Harrison said. "We are committed to working even harder to realize more reductions in 2021. We continue to lose way too many young men and women who often look like me and those of us standing here today."
The commissioner said detectives have been working around the clock to identify and apprehend the suspect for several violent crimes this year.
