We're very proud of the fact that we saw the historic reduction in our homicide rate last year, the largest in more than 10 years, saw 23% reduction, reduction in shootings. We've seen here in downtown, 55% decline in drug related offenses. And so we see that all those are heading in the right direction. And yet we also know that no amount of crime is acceptable and we will keep pushing to make improvements every day. (01:45–01:52)
