Mayor Scott’s comprehensive strategy is delivering real, measurable results across our city: over the past five years compared to the previous five-year period, homicides dropped 64%, violent crime fell 15%, and overall crime decreased 14%. But as long as any resident feels unsafe, our work continues. The Little Rock 2030 plan pairs modern, accountable law enforcement with proactive community solutions. By dispatching behavioral health specialists to crisis calls, deploying advanced crime-fighting technology with strict privacy protections, taking illegal guns off our streets, and enforcing firm police accountability, we are building a safer city for every family.
An Even Safer Little Rock
Expanded Vision
Behavioral Health Integration: Adding more specialized social workers to response teams so officers can focus on stopping violent crime.
Smart Technology & Privacy: Expanding tools like the Real-Time Crime Center with robust community oversight to protect public safety and civil liberties.
Accountability & Training: Ensuring mandatory body cameras and modern crisis training so every officer earns and keeps the public's trust.
Youth Safety: Enforcing a 9 PM curfew in Entertainment Districts and a 10 PM citywide curfew for unaccompanied minors, while protecting young people who work or have school and church activities.
Gun Safety Leadership: Expand distribution of free gun locks through Project ChildSafe and intervening early to stop neighborhood violence before it starts.
