From 2021 to 2022, before police implemented the new strategy, monthly violent crime rose by 18.5%. Once “Hot Spot” policing took hold, there was a small but not insignificant drop.
But the data also show a 60% spike in crime near the Tacoma Mall. And that’s not all, said Tacoma Police Chief Avery Moore.Indeed, so far this year, there have been five murders in the city, including the drive-by shooting a month ago that claimed the life of 14-year-old Xavier Seiss.“Are they safe?” asked Chief Moore rhetorically. “In my opinion, yes. But it’s based on you and how close as far as proximity to you and what you feel, which I don’t control.
“I mean, data would say that some of it is ,” said Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards. “But every time I see an email that says there has been another homicide, my heart says it’s not. And I think we’ve got to be, in order to continue to move forward, we’ve got to get up and look at the data and say we are making strides.”But both the Chief and the Mayor acknowledge that is not enough. So, they are asking for patience.
