• The Gary, Indiana, Police Department refreshed its weekly homicide review meeting, expanding it to include representatives from the Lake County Homicide Task Force, the Indiana State Police, the Indiana State Excise Police, the Lake County Prosecutor’s Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and federal partners to review every shooting and death case and plan for next steps.
• The Minneapolis, Minnesota, Police Department is focusing on several areas, including building a stronger and more action-oriented CompStat review process, with diligent follow-up and accountability in the area of gun crime reduction, maximizing the contributions from both internal and external partnerships.
• The Raleigh, North Carolina, Police Department developed a strategic plan with its local, state, and federal partners to combat gun crime, vowing to reduce violent crime by 15% over the next 3 years by addressing the risk factors that lead to violent behaviors and enhancing protective factors that reduce victimization. It established four goals: improve intelligence sharing, enhance its capacity to reduce juvenile-related crime, address human trafficking and child exploitation, and develop a community violence intervention plan.
• The Rochester, New York, Police Department experienced a 36% reduction in homicides and a 29% decline in nonfatal shootings between 2023 and 2024, the result of a nonfatal shooting team, an enhanced juvenile recidivism program, and strong federal law enforcement partnerships.

• The San Antonio, Texas, Police Department assisted with advocating for 17 assistant prosecutor positions in Bexar County; secured a $600,000 county grant to hire a private lab to process drug cases; and increased collaborations with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the district attorney to identify cases for prosecution.
