LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Governor Gretchen Whitmer says violent crime in Michigan is at its lowest level in seven years.
Her office says murders have dropped over 40% since 2021, over 1,000 illegal guns have been seized as part of Operation Safe Neighborhoods, and robberies have fallen by 50% since she took office nearly eight-years ago.
Whitmer says the state has invested nearly two-billion-dollars in public safety “to put more officers on the street, support proven violence intervention programs, and take illegal guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them.”
Operation Safe Neighborhoods has resulted in over 11,000 check-ins with people with felonies and illegal drugs and ammunition have been seized in the sweeps.
