AG Jones visited Danville, Virginia on Friday, June 26, to discuss the city’s violent crime reduction strategies and resources. Danville reported a historic 40-year low in violent crime for 2025, continuing an overall crime reduction trend there for a sixth year in a row. Attorney General Jones praised the collaboration between these entities and for the progress they have made together in service of their communities.

“As communities around the Commonwealth look to reduce violent crime and keep their residents safe, it was a privilege to sit down with local leaders from Danville to learn more about the partnerships they have built to achieve a 40-year low in violent crime. The tremendous results we are seeing in Danville demonstrate that when we bring a diverse set of stakeholders together and work to address the drivers of violent crime comprehensively, we can make a difference. I applaud local leaders for their efforts and look forward to seeing continued progress in the years to come.” -AG Jones
