Hartford's mayor, Arunan Arulampalam, is set to deliver his annual report of the state of the capital city, focusing on addressing gun violence and education. This comes as the city of Hartford has experienced a record low number of homicides and shootings last year. The mayor plans to discuss how the city is working to prevent violent crime by working with the community and implement smarter policing and an Office of Armed Prevention to reduce the rate of crime. Additionally, the city has been urged to help fund its $74.5 million deficit by the city.
