A staggering THIRTEEN people were murdered over the last 7 days, for a 2022 homicide total of 57 YTD (+97% relative to 2019, +43% relative to 2021).

This is the first week we have seen double-digit homicide victims since the MCC began tracking crime trends in 2019.

Carjacking still shows the highest increases across the board – at 90 YTD, 2022 has seen a 309% increase over 2019 carjacking and a 43% increase over 2021.

These numbers are particularly troubling given the attrition rate in the NOPD…the new academy class begins today (3/21/22) with only 18 recruits.

We have lost over 40 officers already in 2022.
