Violent crime in Cincinnati hit an all-time low last year, according to new data from the Cincinnati Police Department.
CPD Chief Teresa Theetge and Assistant Chief Mike John presented the 2022 data to City Council's Public Safety and Governance Committee Tuesday.
The reduction in violent crime is due in part to a 17% decrease in homicides compared to the two previous years, which are tied for the record high.
"It's good to have a reduction," John said. "But as you can see when you compare us to 2017 and 2018, we're still significantly higher than those years. So we want to see these numbers keep coming down, but it is encouraging to see 16 fewer victims."
Chief Teresa Theetge says this is one of the most important crime statistics.

"Homicides being down is critically important to the city," Theetge said. "Those are people's lives; family members. So to save some lives through police enforcement efforts, that's a huge win for everybody."
Theetge credits the Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC), a collaboration with multiple law enforcement agencies, with reducing gun-related crimes.
Overall shootings in 2022 are about even with the year before; non-fatal shootings increased from 323 to 340 while fatal shootings decreased from 82 to 61. Both are still higher than pre-pandemic levels."...
