The video says (transcribed automatically):
Here in Baton Rouge, we saw a parish in a city that is confronting a severe and persistent violent crime problem, and it demands sustained investment of law enforcement. Sadly, and I was talking with the governor about this a few minutes ago, over two decades, the homicide rate in Baton Rouge has averaged roughly three times that of large U .S. cities. From 2021 through 2025 in the city of Baton Rouge, police responded to, listen to this, over 1 ,300 non -fatal shootings, over 12 ,000 shots fired calls, and over 1 ,200 armed robberies. In that same period, aggravated assaults increased by a staggering 320 percent. And we're here today to address this problem, to tell the moms and children here in Baton Rouge and across the parish that we're here to help, and to tell those involved in criminal activities that this sort of violent behavior will not be tolerated in East Baton Rouge Parish. Now, the funding announced today, and you'll hear more about this in a moment, will, among other initiatives, expand patrol and investigative capacity, increase personnel for new specialized prosecution units, upgrade a violent crime unit, enhance the police department's technology and real -time crime -fighting capabilities. In other words, more law enforcement officers will be on the beat here in Baton Rouge, and they'll be working with better equipment, better technology, and better information. We're investing in prosecution capacity as well, so that criminals are held accountable. and the great people of Baton Rouge can feel safe on their streets. Just as the face of crime has changed dramatically since our surge of resources in Washington, D .C. and Memphis, Tennessee, the lessons that we learned there will apply to these model cities. We are committing resources to help Baton Rouge stop crime across the city, and especially in the 10 hotspots where 40... And especially in the 10 hotspots where 46 % of violent and drug -related crime occurs.
