During the conference, Willis emphasized the importance of collaboration between law enforcement, community organizations, and the local government. She expressed pride in the efforts taken over the past years to reduce crime rates in Atlanta. Citing statistics, Willis highlighted that fewer lives were lost due to violent crimes, suggesting that key initiatives, particularly those targeting gang violence, are bearing fruit.
