“Undoubtedly, this reduction in crime is attributed to the dedicated men and women of the Clermont Police Department and their commitment to ensuring the safety of our residents, businesses and visitors,” Chief Charles Broadway said. “I’d also like to thank our community for their partnership and commitment to ‘If You See Something, Say Something.’
Clermont also showed a significant reduction in burglary, motor vehicle theft and violent crime in 2020.
