$37B policing and crime prevention proposal
ITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- President Biden will be heading to Pennsylvania today to talk about a new proposal he has for Congress aimed at fighting crime and reducing the amount of violence cities across America are seeing.
Here in Pittsburgh and in Pennsylvania as a whole, there has been a slight rise in crime.
As of July 31, the last data map provided by the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office shows there have been 73 homicides in the county since the start of this year, which began 241 days ago.
Ages of those homicides range from six months old to 78 years old.
The plan that President Biden is expected to discuss is called the "Safer America Plan."
