Bloomington Police Tackle Gun Violence and Diversity Issues

Bloomington Police Chief Jamal Simington outlines a strategic approach to combat illegal guns and enhance community safety, highlighting a recent spike in gun arrests by 13%. With gun seizures increasing by 17%, Simington underscores the challenges posed by gun owners whose Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) cards have been revoked, particularly after a tragic triple-murder incident involving such an individual.

In addition to addressing gun violence, Simington reveals the department’s commitment to increasing diversity within its ranks, aiming for 30% of new recruits to be female by 2030. He notes the department currently has a record number of sworn officers at 133, but plans to bolster its staff further over the coming months, while also expanding the use of Automatic License Plate Reading cameras in residential areas to enhance enforcement and crime-solving capabilities.
