High Point Community Against Violence
Making High Point safer for everyone
Preliminary 2014 year end statistics from the High Point Police Department show, once again, that the Focused Deterrence model successfully reduces crime.
Since we started using this model in 1997, High Point’s violent crime is down 67% even though our population has increased by 44%.
Yes, we still have violent crimes take place here. But we continue to work towards less crime and making High Point a safer place for everyone. We’re getting there!
High Point’s “Part 1” crime was down 12% for 2012. Part 1 includes: murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny, auto theft and arson. As we continue to work with local, state and national law enforcement agencies, our community partners and the people of High Point, we will continue to whittle away at violence in High Point. 2012 was a good year!
National Night Out (NNO) is an event, now in its 28th year, that helps improve community and law enforcement relations. Held in communities throughout our nation, NNO is usually a community or street event where local people meet in the street or at a specified meeting place/agency to celebrate community, safety, peace, and non-violence. Currently, there are 23 neighborhood events scheduled for High Point! We invite you to hold an event for your community if you are not already involved. Want more information? contact Community Relations Officer, Robert Burchette, of the High Point Police Department for more information. Some of HPCAV members will be floating to a few of these events across High Point. We hope to see you involved!
