Wilmington, Delaware, has seen a marked decrease in violent crimes since 2021, which the city's mayor attributed to local community support for the police department.
Regarding any murmurs of defunding the police in Delaware's largest city, Purzycki said, "Not even a whimper, we wouldn't consider it."
Wilmington, which has historically had crime problems and was dubbed "Murder Town USA" in 2014, has seen a 50% reduction in murders compared to the record high in 2021, according to statistics provided to Fox News Digital by the Wilmington Police Department.
