Friend,
My administration has made a lot of promises about bold change and addressing serious issues facing our city. Like other metropolises across the country, Richmond has seen an uptick in violent crime. Last year, we had 90 homicides – almost 85% of which were committed with guns.
Which is why we introduced our Gun Violence Prevention Report, a framework to address gun violence prevention and intervention in Richmond, Virginia. You can read the report here. [[link removed]]
It outlines a both/and approach to tackling this crisis of violence through the following goals:
*
In
partnership
with
other
city
agencies
and
the
community,
reverse
the
increasing
trend
in
reported
gun
violence;
*
Reduce
the
annual
number
of
victims
of
violent
crime;
*
Increase
community
trust
and
engagement
with
the
Richmond
Police
Department;
and,
*
Address
root
causes
of
crime
that
contribute
to
violence.
When this administration talks about ‘bringing the fix,’ this is what we mean. None of these problems will be solved overnight, but we can certainly take steps today that bring us closer to that end.
