   Mayor Mike Duggan left the Democratic Party to run for governor as an   
   independent, aiming to replace term-limited Democratic Michigan Gov.   
   Gretchen Whitmer.   
      
   Duggan said Trump deserved some credit for the decline in crime in the   
   city.   
      
   The federal government has been a huge partner in this. The president   
   appointed Jerome Gorgon, the U. S. attorney, he said on a CNN podcast.   
   Baltimore   
      
   Baltimore had 1,606 violent crimes and 34.8 homicides per 100,000 people

   Both Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) and Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott (D) have   
   tangoed with the president over his comments about the Charm Citys high   
   crime rates.   
      
   Scott accused Trump of targeting Black-led cities for criticism, while   
   Moore invited Trump on a walk around communities to see the reality of life   
   in the city.   
      
   Instead of accepting the offer, Trump told Moore to focus on driving down   
   the crime rate, indicating he wouldnt join him for a walk before that.   
      
   As of July 1, the city had recorded 68 homicides this year. Police said   
   that reflected a 22 percent year-over-year decrease in homicides and a 19   
   percent decrease in nonfatal shootings.   
   Kansas City, Mo.   
      
   Kansas City, Mo. , saw 1,547 violent offenses per 100,000 people in 2024.   
   Last year, the city saw a 12 percent increase in nonfatal shootings and   
   tallied 144 homicide cases.   
      
   Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe has said residents needed safer streets,   
   pledging to remove guns and investing $10 million in public safety training   
   for law enforcement.   
      
   You cant legislate lower crime, but what you can do is give law enforcement   
   the tools it takes, he said, according to the Missouri Independent.   
      
   Last week, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo. ) touted a major funding boost to the   
   FBI regional office in St. Louis to improve staffing numbers.   
   Milwaukee   
      
   The city of Milwaukee had 1,431 violent crimes per 100,000.

   a 10 percent and 1 percent year-on-year increase, respectively.   
      
   In January, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) created a statewide violence   
   prevention office and poured $66 million into support services for victims.   
      
   Evers noted in a press release that violent crime was going down statewide.   
      
   And, yet, the rate of gun deaths in Wisconsin is trending in the opposite   
   direction. According to Everytown for Gun Safety, the rate of gun deaths   
   increased in Wisconsin by 54 percent from 2014 to 2023, compared to a 34   
   percent increase nationwide over that same time period.   
      
   He later added that leaders could do better than nothing with proper   
   investments in safety funding.   
   Albuquerque, NM   
      
   The FBI reported that 1,182 violent crimes occurred per 100,000 residents   
   in Albuquerque, the largest city in the blue state of New Mexico.

   2023 to 2024, Fox 26 reported.   
      
   There were 320 murders and 13,354 burglaries in 2024. Much of the crime has   
   been associated with nightlife. Houston Mayor John Whitmire (D) last month   
   announced the formation of a club unit of the Houston Police Department   
   designated to target bars and clubs with citations.   
      
   His effort resulted in five club closures in a three-day period, Houston

   reported.   
      
   Still, crime rates in 2025 are 10 percent lower than last year, according   
   to the city.

   Democratic Gov. Jared Polis has set a goal of reducing violent crime   
   statewide by 6 percent year over year.   
      
   Its a big state, and youre always going to see some communities where it   
   goes one way, other communities where it becomes safer. But overall, Im   
   very proud that violent crime has gone down just in the last two years,   
   13.9 percent, Polis said, as reported by ABC7.
