The Justice Department unveiled a new strategy on Wednesday to combat violent crime, with an official arguing the Trump DOJ’s Operation Legend approach was insufficient. This comes as the department reports a significant nationwide increase in major violent crimes, including murders, over the past year.
“Today, we renew our commitment to reducing violent crime and building strong communities where all Americans are safe,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland. “The deputy attorney general is issuing a comprehensive strategy to deploy our federal resources in the most effective way, disrupting the most dangerous threats and supporting the ground-level efforts of local law enforcement. In this endeavor, we will engage our communities as critical partners. And through our grant-making, we will support programming at all stages from the earliest violence interruption strategies to post-conviction reentry services.”
