Public Safety w/St. Louis Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore
November 7, 2024

For over a decade, St. Louis has consistently ranked as one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S. But recent reports bring a refreshing change — crime rates in the city have seen a significant decline, and St. Louis is no longer listed among the nation's most dangerous places.


This improvement reflects the hard work of many new officials in St. Louis' City Government, all striving to reshape public safety in the community. Recently, Gabe Gore, St. Louis Circuit Attorney, sat down with Carol Daniel and shared insights on this progress, the challenges faced, and what lies ahead.
