New data shows that violent and property crime dropped across the city in 2025, with Detroit recording its lowest homicide rate in 60 years — fewer lives lost, fewer families grieving, and more communities feeling safe. Community Violence Intervention is a critical part of this progress. In CVI zones, homicides and non-fatal shootings dropped by more than 20% in just one year, proving what we’ve long known: when communities are resourced and supported, lives are saved.

How do you get a 67% reduction in homicides and non-fatal shootings in some City of Detroit Government neighborhoods? (And to be clear, NOT downtown?) Community Violence Intervention. We talk about how that happens with Dujuan “Zoe” Kennedy of Force Detroit on the podcast today. Violence in Detroit can be significantly reduced, and there is a blueprint. Although the city has provided a good start with the resources they have, what’s needed is even more funding, and this could go across the city.

When I took office, less than 30% of homicides were being cleared, and non-fatal shootings were solved at just 15%. Thanks to Detroit’s Community Violence Intervention (CVI) groups, Detroit Police Department and public safety teams working together, clearance rates are now above 60%, leading to a 40% drop in homicides, 50% in shootings, and 67% in carjackings.
