The Miami Police Department reported a 20% decrease in homicides and other significant reductions in violent crime for the first half of 2025. There have been 16 homicides so far this year, with hopes of breaking a record low by year-end. Both the Mayor and Police Chief attribute these improvements to effective policing strategies, community trust, targeted prevention measures, and support from officials. Arrests have also increased significantly, highlighting active law enforcement efforts to address crime. Overall, the city aims for continued progress in ensuring public safety.
"This is a community triumph. Behind every percentage point, there's a potential life saved, a crime prevented and a neighborhood being safe."
"These results have been driven by smart data, informed policing, deepened trust with our community, targeted prevention and enforcement, and, of course, the critical support of our elected officials."
