Another thing that has already been touched on is distrust of the police.
Police need information from citizens in order to solve most crimes. With the unfortunate series of events this year involving Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd all of which led to disciplinary action against police/prosecutors the public lost a lot of trust in law enforcement. So citizens are less likely to call on or communicate with them. This makes it harder for the police to do their job.
The fact that so many police/prosecutors still insist that there is nothing they need to fix just makes it worse. Some of them even still try to deny that racial profiling and/or the "Blue Wall" ever existed. No one can trust them until they admit that there are problems they need to address.
