From those incidents, police arrested 150 individuals and cleared 93 investigations.<\/p>\n<p>Outlaw also explained that the department is devoting assets to solve the problem:<\/p>\n<p>Plainly put, the PPD has deployed additional resources to investigate these incidents and apprehend offenders. This includes plain-clothed officers deployed to targeted areas and an operational Task Force dedicated to combating carjackings within the city.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, every PPD detective division, as well as our Major Crimes Unit, which investigates crime rings and trends, has assigned detectives to investigate patterns, hotspots, and develop intelligence pertaining to carjackings. Our intelligence bureau is also gathering information from multiple sources, participating in mutual exchanges of information with our law enforcement partners, and identifying locations, trends, and patterns associated with carjackings in the city. Along with our efforts, the Attorney General\u2019s Office is aiding in investigating carjackings in Philadelphia while providing additional investigative technology to our Department.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Outlaw provided Philadelphians with a guide to surviving a carjacking.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There is no single issue that is more important to me, or the members of the PPD, than fighting violent crime. One of the more disturbing trends that we have seen is the startling increase in the number of carjackings. Here is what we&#8217;re doing about it: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mKJZZL363U\">https:\/\/t.co\/mKJZZL363U<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yVHsFNLdkM\">pic.twitter.com\/yVHsFNLdkM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Danielle M. Outlaw (@PPDCommish) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PPDCommish\/status\/1481422648647237637?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 13, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The guide suggested that residents exercise caution in residential driveways, parking lots and garages, gas stations, and ATMs. Residents are also warned that criminals may deploy certain schemes to facilitate vehicle theft \u2014 such as ordering food and stealing the delivery driver\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>If a resident finds himself the victim of a carjacking, Philadelphia Police suggest that he give up his car and leave the scene, avoid verbal and physical confrontation, make a mental note of the suspect, and \u201clet the carjacker know\u201d if there is a child in the car.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-democratic-congresswoman-mary-gay-scanlon-carjacked-at-gun-point-in-philadelphia\">carjacked<\/a> in broad daylight after touring FDR Park in South Philadelphia. She was approached by two armed men who took her car keys and personal belongings. She was not injured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone deserves to feel safe in our city, and sadly, as we know, that hasn\u2019t always been the case this year,\u201d Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, a Democrat, said in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s disheartening, and quite frankly infuriating, that criminals feel emboldened to commit such a reckless crime in the middle of the day in what should be a place of tranquility and peace \u2014 one of Philadelphia\u2019s beautiful parks. I\u2019m thankful that she was not physically harmed during this incident, and my thoughts are with her during what I\u2019m sure is a traumatic time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later that day, five suspects were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/5-arrested-after-lawmaker-was-carjacked-at-gunpoint\">apprehended<\/a> in nearby Delaware after state police discovered them with Scanlon\u2019s vehicle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Scanlon was a co-sponsor of the \u201cMental Health Justice Act\u201d \u2014 a bill drafted \u201cto authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to States and political subdivisions of States to hire, employ, train, and dispatch mental health professionals to respond in lieu of law enforcement officers in emergencies involving one or more persons with a mental illness or an intellectual or developmental disability, and for other purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
