As of Friday, Harvey had yet to record a single homicide this year, and it’s a streak Mayor Christopher Clark would like to see continue. “We’re going to try to keep that going,” Clark said.
Anthony McCaskill, who ran for mayor in 2019 and is challenging Clark in April, said information he has received show crimes such as burglaries and sexual assaults have been on the rise.
“The word crime encompasses more than just the murder rate,” Tolbert said. “We are still at a high number for the size of our city.” The department has 51 full-time officers, up from 23 about a year ago, while Clark and Biddings say that, ideally, 92 would provide adequate staffing. Clark said shootings where someone is injured, apart from homicides, were down 38% last year compared with 2021, although McCaskill disputes that.
Tolbert said one of his goals is to contract with social workers to provide assistance in answering police calls.He contends that during Clark’s term in office, 16% of homicides in the city have been closed with an arrest.In December, Harvey police said Annalisa Whiteside had been arrested in Indiana and charged in the September 2020 homicide of a Harvey mother, Ryan Reed, who was fatally shot in the area of 154th Street and Hoyne Avenue.
