The Akron Police Department is planning to beef up its presence in some neighborhoods this summer in an effort to cut down on violence and remove more illegal guns off the streets.
The Gun Violence Initiative received funding from city council which will pay overtime for the extra officers.
Police will use crime data and intelligence on where criminals are living to determine which neighborhoods to concentrate on. In 2020, the city experienced a staggering 50 murders. In 2021, the number of murders recorded was 42. There have been 12 murders in the city in 2022.
