Police Chief Avery Moore presented the Tacoma Police Department Crime Reduction Plan at the City Council study session less than a week after the deadly shooting of a 14-year-old girl.
Tacoma Police Department Crime Reduction PlanMoore, who was appointed as police chief in December 2021, partnered with criminologists at the University of Texas at San Antonio to develop the plan with the goal of reducing the number of victims, increasing community trust, and increasing the number of residents who feel safe. The plan is data-driven and 100% evidence-based, Moore said.Moore’s plan breaks down into three phases to decrease crime.
Hot-spot policing, the first phase, has started to be implemented across Tacoma. Twenty-four addresses currently account for 12% of violent crime within the city. Henry Betts, the president of the Local 6 Union for Tacoma police officers, spoke about the plan on the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH, believing crime rates won’t decrease until police staffing is solved.
Betts, a nearly 20-year veteran on the force, cited burnout, depleting morale, and state legislation as just some of the reasons many cities in Washington are struggling to staff their police.
