The debate over how to address violent crime continues, as President Donald Trump<\/a> authorizes the use of the National Guard<\/a> in cities such as Washington, D.C., Portland, Memphis and Chicago to protect federal officers and buildings, and assist state and local police in their law enforcement duties.\u00a0The White House argues\u00a0the deployments are desperately needed to control crime in these areas. At the same time, officials in some of these jurisdictions, including Portland and Chicago,\u00a0have sued to block the deployments, claiming they are unconstitutional and unnecessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the deployments are debated, we know that the National Guard cannot be deployed everywhere and indefinitely. Crime is local, and state and local officials must lead on implementing permanent solutions to fighting violent crime.<\/a> There are many proven strategies for leaders to implement, starting with supporting the police.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For instance, our country is in a law enforcement staffing crisis. It is estimated that from 2020 to 2024,\u00a0the number of officers decreased\u00a0roughly 5%. While modest gains have been made in the past year, these are driven by smaller agencies;\u00a0large agencies\u00a0continue to struggle. Los Angeles<\/a> is short 1,000 officers, Chicago by 1,300, New York by 3,000, Philadelphia by 1,200, and Washington, D.C.,<\/a> is down about 500 officers. Staffing in California is at its\u00a0lowest level in 30 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TRUMP\u2019S USE OF NATIONAL GUARD IN DC IS A MODEL FOR SAVING AMERICA\u2019S CITIES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It’s no surprise we saw some of the\u00a0largest increases in crime\u00a0in our history during this police staffing crisis.\u00a0More police mean less crime. Studies show dramatic impacts on crime when there is an\u00a0increase in police presence in high-crime areas. During the federal intervention in Washington, D.C., an influx of federal officers and guardsmen (roughly 500 extra officers every night)\u00a0led to significant decreases in crime.\u00a0When compared to the same time period last year,\u00a0violent crime decreased by 39%, and property crime by 12%, with a 40% decrease in motor vehicle thefts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2022, Nebraska passed the\u00a0Law Enforcement Attraction and Retention Act, which allows resident law enforcement officers<\/a> to obtain a credit\u00a0for full tuition\u00a0at in-state colleges and community colleges. The Nebraska State Patrol had its\u00a0largest recruiting class in five years\u00a0this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Omaha Police have a new recruitment unit, and the city budget\u00a0increased officer wages. Omaha has\u00a0seen its applications more than double this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

VANCE SAYS NATIONAL GUARD IS ‘BUSTING THEIR A–\u2019 IN WASHINGTON, FLOATS MISSION EXTENSION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Birmingham, Alabama, included $15.8 million in its budget for recruitment and retention. Since January, the department has\u00a0hired 202 officers\u00a0and expects to be fully staffed next month. They had their largest academy class in history this August.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2022, the state of Florida<\/a> implemented the\u00a0Law Enforcement Recruitment Bonus Payment Program, providing $5,000 after-tax to new officers. Since inception, it has awarded more than 9,400 bonuses and attracted more than 1,900 officers to move to Florida. Their legislature also funded $49 million in pay increases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more than just pay. Strategies matter, and many cities and states have demonstrated that focusing resources on high-crime areas can yield remarkable results. In 2021, Dallas implemented “hot spot policing.”\u00a0A study\u00a0concluded that Dallas<\/a> experienced greater drops in violent crime compared to nearby cities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, a “focused deterrence” strategy targets police attention on the highest-risk individuals, attempting to either intervene before another crime, or deliver swift justice if crime continues. This approach has been shown to\u00a0significantly reduce violent crime. States like\u00a0Tennessee<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Virginia\u00a0allocated state funding and resources for this strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS FROM SIX RED STATES HEAD TO DC TO HELP TACKLE CRIME<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Local communities can benefit from partnering with federal agencies. Republican Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, along with Department of Justice officials, recently announced that a joint operation called “Operation Violent Crime Takedown” among federal, state and local law enforcement personnel,<\/a> and resources in Baton Rouge resulted in 52 federal indictments this summer. It is a part of a\u00a0larger nationwide operation\u00a0targeting violent crime.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott<\/a> recently\u00a0announced a task force\u00a0of state and local law enforcement to reduce violent crime in the city of Houston, where\u00a0local judges have been criticized for continuously releasing dangerous offenders on bail\u00a0who then commit further crimes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

President Trump deserves credit for focusing a national spotlight on the need to stop violent crime. It\u2019s time for state and local leaders of cities with high crime rates to stop playing political games, and instead support cops, use proven strategies, and make their streets safe again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
