It's no secret that robberies continue to plague the city of Chicago. The number of robberies has been increasing every year since 2021.

Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling addressed the death of Dexter Reed for the first time on Friday, urging a patient approach to the investigation."We have to let this play out. In the history of policing, some of the issues that we've had is because some people were afraid to make those hard decisions or those decisions appeared hard to them. But when you have the facts, those decisions aren't hard anymore.

Snelling outlined a four-pronged approach to tackling the issue, which includes technology, focus missions, public engagement, and accountability.He highlighted the use of stolen vehicles in many robberies and noted that nearly 3,000 fewer cars have been stolen in Chicago this year. Police are also looking at who's committing these crimes and how many officers are in those neighborhoods.
