Police say they expect another downturn in crime this year as well

In fact crime was down across the board in 2021 and police expect another downturn this year. Capt. Jay Seely says overall crime was down 8% last year when compared to 2020. More specifically Seely says aggravated assault was down 17.4% and robberies down 30% in 2021. He says that's great news when you look at crime rising in other parts of the state. Seely says the key to dropping crime is the involvement of federa agencies. The department in 2020 worked with the Yakima County Prosecutors Office and federal enforcement agencies and the US Attorney. By working with federal officials and charging some crimes under the federal system those who are convicted face longer prison sentences. Seely says that partnership with federal authorities is paying off with lower crime rates for the city of Yakima and he expects crime numbers to drop this year as well.
