violent crime reduction FBI crime statistics Nassau County Police Academy 2025 crime report midterm elections

President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit the Nassau County Police Academy in Long Island, New York, to highlight a significant reduction in violent crime across the United States. Accompanied by Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel, the President intends to unveil 2025 FBI crime statistics that reportedly show the largest year-to-year decline in violent crime on record.

According to excerpts from the FBI report, murder and non-negligent manslaughter decreased by an estimated 18.1% in 2025, while robberies fell by approximately 18.5%. Other projected declines include a 7.6% drop in rapes, a 7.2% decrease in aggravated assaults, and a 22.7% decline in motor vehicle theft.

The visit is strategically timed ahead of the November midterm elections, as the administration seeks to leverage its law-and-order platform to appeal to swing voters and counter Democratic opponents. This move comes as the President faces challenges regarding economic approval ratings, with recent polling indicating that 69% of Americans view the state of the economy as 'poor.'
