New York Crime Prevention Program Has Good Results

The Commissioner of the Division of Justice Services, Denise O'Donnell, has high hopes for her program known as Operation IMPACT.

O'Donnell mentioned that, "Operation IMPACT has been described by some as the most effective crime reduction strategy ever."

IMPACT was started back in 2004 and it has been rather effective in reducing crime. Various counties have chosen to join the program to help fight crime, and these counties have shown a significant drop in violent crime since they joined IMPACT.

O'Donnell stated, "They all devise their own crime fighting strategy because they're the ones that know their community, they know their strengths and weaknesses."

As communities get together and focus on their crime issues, they are then able to share what they have learned with neighboring communities. Effective crime prevention practices are passed on to others in hopes of seeing the same results.

"Reach out to the community, to say, do the right thing, cooperate with the police, we need you to come forward if you have information about a violent crime, we need you to be a witness in our case," O'Donnell added.

IMPACT is a state-funded program, and the amount of money that is provided to a county is based on the amount of crime that is present.
