The Knoxville Police Department releases its yearly report, outlining crime statistics from 2022 to 2023 and departmental updates.
Chief of Police Paul Noel says Knoxville’s murder count dropped and car burglaries also dropped. This, all compared to 2022 data.
He also says they closed more than 70% of the murder cases that happened in 2023, which is much more than the national average for law enforcement agencies.
