## Resource

Montgomery’s Office of Violence Prevention, launched in late 2021 with a data-driven, collaborative mission to curb community violence, has spent over $220,000 in overtime since 2022 — including $41,000 for former director Keith Moore. Despite its high-profile setup and direct reporting to the mayor’s chief of staff, the city continues to struggle with violent crime, raising questions about effectiveness and priorities — especially as a bill to boost police staffing failed last session, with city leaders opposing it.
