Utilizing artificial intelligence in policing programs and youth outreach contributed to a decrease in homicides in 2024 compared to previous years in Macon-Bibb County, according to local officials.
A multi-agency approach to decrease the violent deaths involved suspect-tracking technologies at the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, as well as community support programs by Macon Violence Prevention and District Attorney Anita Howard’s office, Mayor Lester Miller said at the pre-commission meeting Tuesday afternoon.
