BENTON HARBOR, Mich. â Michigan State Police says early data shows violent crime declined in the City of Benton Harbor by 12% when comparing reports from 2019.
Total crime incidents represent nearly an 11% decrease when compared to the same incidents reported during the same time period of the previous year, according to a news release Tuesday.
Some highlights of the report come from the file classes of rape and robbery, in which both categories saw declines of more than 38% and more than 42%, respectively.
This marks the second-straight year of declines in those two categories.
