This Annual Report has been prepared to provide the Honorable City
Council with an overview of the police department's activities during
the recently completed 1989 calendar year.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation gathers crime statistics from
throughout the nation and compiles a Uniform Crime Index (UCI). This
UCI is broken down into Part I and Part II Crimes.
Part I Crimes are the common barometer by which crime rates between
communities are compared. In 1989 there were 481 Part I Crimes
reported which represents a crime rate of 17.81 per 1,000 residents.
After adjusting for population increases, there was no change in
Moorpark~s crime rate from the previous year. Within Part I Crimes,
Violent Crimes decreased 4.00 percent and Property Crimes increased
0.9 percent .
This Annual Report will address the following areas of activity:

Calls for Service
Calls for Service (CFS) are the number of times officers are
requested and dispatched to calls. CFS includes public service,
non-criminal and criminal calls in nature.

CFS is a good barometer of the police department~s activity in
responding to citizens~ service requests. CFS does not include
officer initiated activity, i.e., traffic citations.
Alarm calls throughout the city represent 9.6 percent of CFS, an
increase of 10 percent over 1988. This is especially noteworthy
because approximately 97 percent of all alarm calls are false.
Disturbance calls throughout the city represent 18.3 percent of CFS,
a decrease of 8.9 percent over 1988. This decrease is partially
attributable to the police department~s extensive enforcement efforts
during the summer and fall of 1989.

Included within the above traffic information is the following

percent.
The Office of Traffic Safety Grant terminated in March; however, the
City has continued to fund this position into the 1989-90 fiscal
year. Additionally, with the added staffing of a Motorcycle Traffic
Enforcement Officer in the current fiscal year, these two officers
will form the core of the city~s traffic enforcement efforts in the
coming year. Since increasing traffic volume and its related
problems will continue to be a law enforcement concern in the years
to come, traffic enforcement must continue to be a major area of
focus.

Total traffic violations written in 1989 decreased 7.60 percent.
This can be attributed to the increased number of traffic accidents
that occurred in the city last year. This resulted in increased
investigation time and reduced the available patrol time. The police
department will soon be implementing a short form traffic accident
report for use in traffic accidents involving only property damage.
This will reduce the amount of report time and increase available
patrol time.
The increase in the number of parking citations written is the direct
result of the Sheriff~s Cadet Parking Enforcement Program and the
on-going effort to enforce parking restrictions on Los Angeles
Avenue.
