Summary
Fall River’s police just released their first mid-year report—and the numbers are surprisingly strong: violent crime down 11%, shootings down 12%, arrests up 23%, and a 100% homicide clearance rate. Yes, homicides rose slightly to four this year—but all tied to just two brutal incidents. Illegal gun seizures jumped 50%, thanks to targeted units keeping weapons off the streets. Chief J.T. Hoar’s pushing to grow the force to 260 officers to sustain this momentum and keep the community safer. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
