Recent press reports and data from the Alexandria police department document the increase in most types of crime in Alexandria overt the past year, including crimes associated with the public schools.  Crimes involving guns in particular have increased sharply.

The May program of Agenda Alexandria will examine the causes of the uptick in violent crimes, property crimes and crimes against society such as vandalism and driving under the influence.

The program will also explore what public officials and citizens can do to address the causes and make Alexandria a safer city in which to live and work.
