During the six years of Mayor Pam Iorio's administration, the men and women of
the Tampa Police Department have reduced crime by an astonishing -46%.
It was a long road to success because in 2003, Tampa had one of the
highest crime rates for a city its size. This was accomplished through
the launch of a new policing philosophy called, the Focus on Four Plan
It's comprised of four guiding components that target four pattern
crimes. We started with a dramatic change in police culture
from the traditional, reactive mode to a new, proactive approach.
