Steady decrease since the early 90s, however 9/11 certainly added police presence.
Yeah, and not just presence of actual physical officers on the streets, but survelience, cameras, security checkpoints, and other stuff too.Also the NYPD now has its own international intelligence division and works in cities around the world in an effort to combat terrorism. This was established in response to 9/11. Here’s the list of international cities where NYPD has presence:
-Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Israel
-Amman, Jordan
-Toronto and Montreal, Canada
-Paris and Lyon, France
-Madrid, Spain
-Abu Dhabi, UAE
-London, UK
-Singapore
-Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
-Sydney, Australia
Chicago official numbers through March (there are other number reported here, there's a site out there with a ton of stats and numbers, but their tallies are always going to be higher than actual comparable stats per the FBI):
2018: 108
2017: 140
2016: 148
This past weekend compared to previous:
2018: 13 people shot
2017: 26 people shot
2016: 37 people shot
Wow, I wonder what they're doing behind the scenes to help with the drop?

Des Moines is at two after a suspicious death was ruled non-criminal and another homicide was misreported as being inside the city limits. It’s a pretty large drop from last year when it was at 11 or 12 at this time last year.
Wow, I wonder what they're doing behind the scenes to help with the drop?
Honestly it seems like a lot of it has to do with the fact that it's still around 30 degrees fahrenheit on the daily here. The thugs and gangbangers stay indoors and do minimal killing when its cold out.
This is probably the longest winter of my life, and it's freaking spring.
Montreal at 7 now. No idea about the 6th one so I was surprised that we're at 7 now. So far the pace has been much faster this year compared to others. The past two years we finished with 22/23 respectively, so if things keep going this way, we'll for sure surpass those numbers unfortunately.
