Part 1 violent crime was lower by 23 percent, the number of aggravated assaults <br /> for the past two years increased by 20 percent above 2019 and 2020. Table 2 below <br /> shows that property crime increased by 14 percent from last year though still below the <br /> peak in 2019. The increases in property crime from prior years is not surprising based <br /> on the current deployment of officers due to staffing; notably, experienced policing <br /> practitioners as well as crime studies indicate that the presence of police officers has a <br /> deterrent effect on crime and the department has had less visibility in the community in <br /> the past year. <br /> Table 2 highlights the Department's Part 1 Crime trends from 2018-2022. <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br />
