Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Michael McCarick said that the city is making progress but still has a 'long way to go' to curb violence in the city.
The Philadelphia government has attempted to curtail the gun crisis in various ways, including community group funding, intervention programs and new rules surrounding curfews.
The city has invested heavily in rehabilitative and diversionary programs, including an alternative misdemeanor program that allows city workers to engage with offenders and offer them a court-mandated service. Another program, Police-Assisted Diversion , offers low-level offenders a chance to address issues surrounding access to basic needs, treatment services and personal development programs by handing them over to social services.Mark F.
"We're not saying if you don't take a police diversion, then you will be charged with the crime. We're not following all the way through, so we're not really getting the results that I believe we should be getting by initiating these programs." Max Weisman is the Communications Director for Councilmember Isaiah Thomas, who released a gun violence prevention report for the city in September 2022.
