WTVR TV6 reports that the citywide murder rate is way down, and cites Highland Park as an example of the dramatic downward trend:
We broke down Richmond’s murder rate for the past 3 years:
From May to mid-August the murders reached 24 in 2006.
In 2007, it dropped to 20 during the same time.
Compared to 4 murders in 2008.
Take for example the 4th precinct. Last year there were nine murders at this time. So far this year- there’s been one. And people living there say they feel safer.
“Now, I see a lot more police presence, so, that’s great, even early in the morning,” says Highland Park resident Randy Smithers.
