“Six months after acknowledging that Salt Lake City wasn’t doing enough to ensure public safety, Mayor Erin Mendenhall on Wednesday announced that “tremendous progress” has been made in implementing the city’s public safety plan.”
" …announced that 12 of those 27 strategies have now been completed. Many of them deal with emergency shelter options, affordable housing, and continuing to fight the drug problem and provide more mental health and addiction resources."
“And we’ve committed an unprecedented-in-city-history $5 million toward deeply affordable housing this year.”
“Under Chief Redd’s leadership, Salt Lake City ended June on an eight-year low for overall crime. And we’re on track to finish out the year, 2025, with over 1,000 more jail bookings that 2024,” Mendenhall said."
“According to the city’s statistics, overall crime is down, both year-to-date compared to the same time last year and over the past three-year average.”
“However, overall violent crime is up. According to the city’s statistics, aggravated assault, robbery and rape are all up compared to a year ago.”
So which is it?
“According to the city’s statistics, overall crime is down,”
or
“However, overall violent crime is up. According to the city’s statistics, aggravated assault, robbery and rape are all up compared to a year ago.”
This Left Wing Mayor keeps pulling these stunt, stand in front of the camera’s acting like Bagdad Bob, “Everything’s Good, No crime here…”
