Hispano Chamber Partners with Business Leaders to Launch Crime Fighting Advocacy Tool
Today, the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce (“Hispano Chamber”) announces the
launch of CrimeStatsNM, a revolutionary new software tool providing lawmakers and their
constituents with current crime data.
Hispano Board Member Steve B. Chavez spearheaded and developed this innovative initiative through weekly meetings where he and other board members listened to crime experts from across New Mexico. The Chamber is also supporting several bills being introduced to the 2023 NM Legislature that will reduce crime in the state.
CrimeStatsNM provides data on violent adds property crime, theft and drug-related crime. It
also ranks legislative districts in five categories ranging from good to critical.
The Board Chair Phil Casaus, President and CEO of Brycon Corp., enthusiastically praised Steve
Chavez’s work: “Our membership and board applaud the efforts that Steve Chavez has led.
Steve and other board members involved in the anti-crime initiative have devoted their time to
learn about the complexities of crime in New Mexico; CrimeStatNM is the product of those
meetings”
