MACS Unit: One Year Later and Making Waves!

Governor Kay Ivey is singing the praises of the Metro Area Crime Suppression (MACS) Unit after its first year battling violent crime in Montgomery! Looks like this collaborative law enforcement initiative is really paying off.

Success Story in Montgomery!

"The results speak for themselves!" Ivey declared. "Violent crime is on the decline, and more criminals are behind bars!" Seems like focusing resources on increased surveillance and enforcement is doing the trick. Montgomery recently reported a whopping 30% drop in violent crime and a 19% dip in overall crime! Keep up the great work, MACS!

By the Numbers: MACS Unit's Impact

In the past year, MACS personnel have been BUSY! Check out these stats:

• 3,100 traffic stops
• 983 arrest warrants served (from traffic violations to Capital Murder!)
• 429 arrests (including 30 juveniles)
• 268 illegal firearms seized
• 164 machine gun conversion devices confiscated
• 69 stolen cars recovered

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

"Preserving public safety is essential," Ivey noted, emphasizing the importance of combining resources from state, federal, and local agencies to tackle violent criminals. She is proud to have supported the creation of the MACS Unit and continued funding during the legislative session. Sounds like MACS is a recipe for success!
