LMAO 40% with 350K...lol
There's 2 ways I would approach it, and realistically it's not enough money even still. I would put together an annual music festival that would attract business and people to the area in hopes that in about 4-5 years the town could be hip. Let's not forget that hopefully the artists would do it for free.
Or
I would just hire two mercenaries to start offing suspected criminals.
You can't do shyt for with 350K for crime.

Hell naw, 350K is absurdly low for that type of consultant work. I wouldnt even return the phone call. A consulting firm charges 200K just to do some warehouse slotting/rearranging work for a single facility.
Just get more cops on the street in the areas of higher crime. Visibility and community policing. Now, the flipside of "pushing" crime out of high crime areas is that the criminals will go to where there is less police presence. Hopefully, they move out to another jurisdiction and the 40% drop is good to go. If I push crime from one area of St. Louis, Missouri to another area of St. Louis, Missouri, I didn't accomplish my goal. If I am able to push crime from St. Louis, Missouri to East St. Louis, Illinois, then I accomplished my goal.Pocket my cash and leave.

How is not possible? 350K is not a whole lot but you are a contractor and 1 city is just 1 client.
350K is not enough for a contract or not enough to bring homicides/murders down by 40%? Does money bring homicides/murder down? If so, where does the money go?
I don't know about your music festival, there are few music festivals in some of the most violent cities in the country every year so I doubt a festival would bring the rate down 40%.
Now keep in mind, that's just what the 1 city is paying your firm as a CONSULTANT to issue ideas and come up with game actionable game-plans to decrease the crime by 40%
Contract for 350 to cut the homicide rate by 40%. The rate is contingent on performance of how your services are rendered. Pick any city from Post #9
Just as high as the cities listed in post 9
Example or two?
ID the top ten areas for assault, battery amd murder. Then station 2 cops per 5 mile radius 24/7 for 12 months. During that time they'll be handing out anything from jaywalking tickets to assult and domestic violence arrest. Each case will need atleast a court showing.
Crime would drop drastically.

You need more money than that to bring crime down. A simple Google Search finds that
Annual cost per inmate: $31,286
Annual cop salary: $56,980
Urban Surveillance System (Major Metropolitan Area): 8 million
You can house 11 inmates, hire 6 cops for one year...or pay for 4% of a sophisticated enough system to monitor activity on your busiest streets. All of your consulting fees are ate up.
Not really sure what you could do with that little bit of money.
Now if you gave me 350K and work with the existing city budget to find creative solutions to reduce crime...then now we're talking. But that right there is the reason most people consider consultants useless.
