Thanks to the people in this room—in 2017, the Department of Justice brought cases against the greatest number of violent criminals in a quarter of a century. It was the most since we started keeping track—it may even have been the most ever.

 

And I am announcing today that we have broken records yet again—and it’s not even close.

 

Over the last fiscal year—October 1 of 2017 up to September 30, 2018—the Department of Justice brought charges against 15 percent more violent crime defendants than we did in the previous, record-breaking year.

 

The numbers were about the same for other crimes, too: overall, we charged 15 percent more defendants in fiscal 2018 than we did in 2017.

 

And so we’re going to keep up this pace. The new prosecutors and agents President Trump has authorized are now coming on line. We’re going to keep supporting you. We will not capitulate to rising crime rates. We will bring them down. We will make our communities safer.
