Didn't defund police, grew force to largest in Miami history
The recent surge in crime reflects a larger and tragic tale of two types of cities. It's a tale between cities that invested in their police versus cities that defunded their police. In Miami, we chose differently. We increased funding for our police,
growing our police department to its largest in our history. The result: crime dropped to one of its lowest levels in Miami's history. We deployed the most advanced technology that we could afford to equip our police and to protect our residents.
