The State of Alabama has spent $2.5 million since June 2024 on the Metro Area Crime Suppression Unit in an attempt to crack down on crime in Montgomery, according to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.

Like many Democrat-run cities, crime in Montgomery was nearing an all-time high over the past summer as local law enforcement struggled with recruitment.
