Crime in Washington, D.C., down to lowest level since 2010 since Trump's crackdown

“A CBS News analysis reports that violent and property crime rates in Washington, D.C., have fallen to their lowest levels since at least 2010 during the 12‑month period following President Donald Trump’s declaration of a federal emergency and the deployment of the National Guard to the city. The decline coincides with heightened police presence, increased surveillance, and a series of targeted enforcement actions. Expert Analysis: The sharp drop in crime may reinforce arguments for strong federal intervention in local public‑safety crises, potentially influencing future policy debates and budget allocations for law‑enforcement agencies. If the trend holds, it could boost consumer confidence, stimulate local business activity, and affect real‑estate valuations in the nation’s capital.”
