Several major cities, including Philadelphia, Denver, Minneapolis, and New York City, have increased their police budgets and have seen a decrease in homicides in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024. The Major Cities Chiefs Association compiled data showing that cities with increased police funding experienced a drop in homicides. For example, Philadelphia saw a 28% decrease, Minneapolis a 54% decrease, and Denver almost a 59% decrease in homicides. Local lawmakers in these cities voted to increase police budgets in 2024 despite pressure from activists advocating for defunding the police. The New York City Police Department reported a 28% decrease in murders year to date, attributing the success to increased police funding and a focus on reducing recidivism.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch emphasized the importance of police work in reducing crime and highlighted the impact of recidivism on public safety. National Police Association spokesperson Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith stated that the decrease in murders reflects a rejection of the “defund the police” movement, emphasizing the necessity of law enforcement and adequate resources. Smith highlighted the role of police in crime reduction and expressed that the public, politicians, and media are recognizing the importance of law enforcement and resources. The article underscores the correlation between increased police presence and decreased crime rates, suggesting that the American public is acknowledging the value of law enforcement efforts in maintaining public safety.

A group of Pennsylvania residents are facing court hearings to determine if they must travel to Idaho for Bryan Kohberger’s quadruple murder trial. Kohberger, a former criminology Ph.D. student, is accused of killing four University of Idaho undergrads in 2022.

The trial is set to begin on August 11, with the exact timing of each witness’s testimony still unclear.
