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.
