This week, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department (FLPD) welcomed 15 new officers to the force. The newly sworn officers will support the mission and vision of the City Commission enhancing Public Safety.
The FLPD continues to see improvements in its efforts to combat violent crime. Police Chief Patrick Lynn reports that Part I Crimes are down citywide this year compared to the same period last year. Homicides are down 29%, sex offense crimes are down 20%, and aggravated assaults are down 4%. This translates to an overall decrease of 4% of violent crime citywide.
At the upcoming City Commission Conference meeting, Chief Lynn will provide an update on Police Community Engagement Initiatives. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 18, at 1:30 p.m. in City Hall’s Commission Chambers. You can attend in person or online to learn more about how the City is proactively addressing public safety.
