HARE TO: THE HONORABLE 1,CO1, IL City Treasurer FROM: RICHARD RODRIG► .4*: EUTENANT DATE: FEBRUARY 13, 1991 SUBJECT: MOORPARK POLICE DEPARTMENT'S 1990 ANNUAL REPORT DISCUSSION The Moorark Police Department's 1990 Annual Report has been prepared to provide the Honorable City Council with an overview of the Department's public safety activities during the recently concluded 1990 calender year. This Annual Report will address the following areas of activity: Crime Rate Calls For Service City-wide Accident Rate Highway 118 Accident Rate Traffic Enforcement Crime Rate The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI ) gathers crime statistics from throughout the nation and compiles a Uniform Crime Index (UCI ) . This UCI is separated into Part I and Part II crimes. The "serious crime" rate begins with the sum of all criminal incidents in eight categories defined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and reported by local law enforcement in II incorporated cities and the county sheriff's departments during calender year 1990. The "serious crimes" are sometimes referred to by statisticians and analysts as Part I crimes. Part I crimes is the common barometer used to compare crime rates between communities throughout the country. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 Page 2 ANNUAL POLICE REPORT Part I crimes include the following crimes of violence ; willful homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. Additionally, Part I crimes include the following property crimes; vehicle, residential and commercial burglary; motor vehicle theft, general theft and arson. Overall in 1990, the Part I crime rate county-wide in all Sheriff's Department jurisdictions was 25.53 crimes/1,000 population, an increase of 5.9 percent. In 1990 there were 489 Part I crimes reported in the City which represents a rate of 18.77 crimes/1000 residents. When compared to last years rate of 19.24, this translated to a net decrease of 2.43 percent in the City's Part I crime rate. 1989 1990 Variance Total Part I Crimes 481 489 8 Violent Crimes 85 75 10 Property Crimes 396 414 18 Population 25,000 26,050 1,050 Crime Rate * 19.24 18.77 - 2.43% * Population figures provided by California Department of Finance. Part II crimes are all other crimes not categorized as Part I crimes. Included in this report is a review of selected Part II crimes, comparing 1989 with 1990. The most significant changes are a 47 percent decrease in public drunkenness arrests, a 44 percent increase in misdemeanor vandalism, a 15 percent increase in narcotics violations and a 43 percent increase in other miscellaneous misdemeanors. There was also a 33 percent increase in DUI reports for 1990 when compared to 1989 ( 138 and 192 respectively) . A change in the legislation in 1990 that lowered the blood alcohol level to 0.08 from 1.0 . This law change in combination with aggressive DUI enforcement contributed to the increase. Calls For Service Calls For Service (CFS) are the total number of calls requiring officers to respond to calls. CFS includes public service, non-criminal and criminal CFS. Page 3 ANNUAL POLICE REPORT 1989 1990 Variance Calls For Service 6,055 6, 593 + 8.89% Population 25,000 26,050 + 4.20% Calls For Service is a barometer that reflects the police department's patrol related activity in providing services to the community. CFS statistics do not include officer initiated activity, ie. , traffic or parking citations, special enforcement requests, and crime prevention activities. Operationally, the City was originally divided into three geographical areas for reporting purposes. Each of these three areas (2A, 2B, 2C) were then divided into Reporting District 's (RD's) that were determined by geography, natural dividing lines ( ie_ , major street) or uniqueness of location ( ie. , Moorpark College) . The 2A area is generally described as the downtown area and includes everything west of Virginia Colony and north of Los Angeles Avenue. The 2B area includes Virginia Colony and covers the area eastward to the city limit. The 2C area is generally everything west of Highway 23 and south of Los Angeles Avenue to the city limit. The attached Calls For Service table and graph reflect that the 2A area received 40 percent (2666 CFS) of all Calls For Service while the 2B and 2C area Calls For Service were 19 ( 1247 CFS) and 41 (2679 CFS) percent respectively. Staff would also like to note on the attached map that RD #5116, bordered by Spring, the Arroyo Simi, Park Lane and Los Angeles is geographically part of the downtown, within the 2A area. Adjusting the statistics to reflect this geographical connection indicates that the 2A area experienced roughly 50 percent of all calls and the 2C area shows adjusted Calls For Service of 30 percent. City-wide Traffic Accident Activity The following table reflects that traffic accidents throughout the city decreased numerically by 21 percent in 1990 over the prior year. When adjusted to reflect a 1990 population increase over 1989 (25,000 vs. 26050) , the adjusted traffic accident rate decreased 24.22 percent. Although traffic accidents were down Page 4 ANNUAL POLICE REPORT in all categories, of special note is the fact that no traffic fatalities occurred in the city in 1990. 1989 1990 Variance All Traffic Accidents 347 274 - 21.04% Injury Accidents 106 91 - 14. 15% Fatal Accidents 1 0 -100.00% Property Damage Only 240 183 - 23.75% Highway 118 Traffic Accident Activity Traffic accidents occurring on Highway 118 decreased by 37 percent in 1990 over the prior year. Included within the above traffic information is the following Highway 118 traffic accident data: 1989 1990 Variance All Traffic Accidents 192 120 - 37. 50% Injury Accidents 51 44 - 13.73% Fatal Accidents 0 0 No Change Property Damage Only 141 76 - 46.09% Traffic Enforcement 1989 1990 Variance Total Traffic Violations 7, 127 10, 138 + 42.25% Hazardous Violations 3, 130 5 , 155 + 64.70% Parking Citations 1 ,309 1,903 + 45 .38% Total traffic violations written in 1990 increased 42.28 percent over 1989. This is primarily the result of the city's decision to fund a motorcycle officer for traffic enforcement and is evidenced by an increase of 64 percent hazardous violations that were issued last year. Statistically, as reflected in the two previous tables, this enforcement effort resulted in a 21 percent decrease in the city's accident rate last year. Page 5 ANNUAL POLICE REPORT The continuing increase in the number of parking citations issued is the result of the city's Parking Enforcement Program. 1990 was the first complete year of service availability by the Sheriff's Cadet. SUMMARY In 1990 the City of Moorpark experienced a net decrease of 2. 43 percent in Part I crimes. Misdemeanor vandalism and DUI arrest increased 44 and 33 percent respectively. The City's accident rate decreased 21 percent and Calls For Service increased 8.89 percent . RECOMMENDATION Receive and File.
