Mayor Bass, LAPD chief set to release 2024 citywide crime data analysis

Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell will be releasing the 2024 citywide crime data analysis on Monday morning.

According to a press release from the LAPD, the analysis shows a drop in homicides and violent crime.

The mayor's office and police department are committed to continued action to keep Angelenos safe, the LAPD said.

Last year, the LAPD released its first end-of-the-year crime report in nine years. In that report, authorities said the city saw a jump in traffic-related deaths, including fatal hit-and-runs and fatal pedestrian and bicycle collisions.

The department also reported that in 2023 LA had a 3% decrease in violent crime in every category and a 17% decrease in homicides.
