A recent report indicates that violent crime rates are decreasing in many large cities across the United States. This decline is part of a steady trend that began in 2022. The decrease in violent crime follows a significant spike in homicides during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Further information on this trend can be found in a report released by the Major Cities Chiefs Association, which details crime rates in 66 US law enforcement agencies, although specific details on El Paso are not provided here.
