After Two Years
It has now been two full years since Brandon took over from Lori. Here’s how he stacked up against his predecessors in different crime categories.
May 16th, 2025, marked two years since Brandon took over. Here’s how he stacked up against his predecessors in different crime categories. Just keep in mind that these numbers are based on “reported” crimes, and many incidents go unreported, especially those that don't involve high-speed lead or involuntary fatalities.
Shootings and homicides come from our dataset while the other reported crimes are courtesy of the Chicago Data Portal. Brandon's first two years are 5/16/23 - 5/16/25, Lori was 5/21/19 - 5/21/21 which includes the St. George of Fentanyl Riots and Rahm was 5/19/15 - 5/19/17.

How about Shotspotter reports in that table?
It’s a hint at the underreporting issue.
You people are GREAT! You unfortunately have to reference the ugliness of Chicago, yet the FACTS need to be documented for the rest of America.
