(WCTV) &#8211; Law enforcement agencies and community partners are hoping new data will help allocate resources to curb violent crime in Tallahassee and Leon County. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Tuesday morning, representatives met at the Leon County Sheriff\u2019s Office to discuss the Tallahassee-Leon Violence Reduction Strategic Plan. The group spent time talking about ways to engage with the community and deter crime. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Leon County\u2019s Assistant Sheriff Grady Jordan said the panel takes a collaborative approach using real-time data. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI think in the past, we\u2019ve never looked at it from a research component perspective, and so being able to work with FSU and all of our local partners, whether it be the nonprofits or the other law enforcement agencies, that data is providing us a lot of information on where we can focus our efforts,\u201d Jordan said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-center article-text\">More Tallahassee news:<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The Tallahassee Police Department, Florida State Police, the State Attorney\u2019s Office and the Public Defender\u2019s Office are among the agencies involved in the partnership. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The group plans to meet again later this year to go over early statistics from 2026. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">To keep up with the latest news as it develops, follow WCTV on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTV.tv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wctvnews\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@WCTVEyewitnessNews\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nextdoor<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTV\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTV\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Have a news tip or see an error? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/2026\/02\/24\/lcso-hosts-panel-discuss-reducing-violent-crime-community\/mailto:news@wctv.tv?subject=Correction%20Needed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Write to us here<\/a>.
