Yes, one of them happened very close to my childhood from home, but I don't understand where there's a disagreement.

It should be noted that aggressive policing - distinct from increased police presence - has been shown to contribute to violent/major crimes rather than decrease it: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-017-0211-5
