 Crime was up in various accounts in both beats but not above historical levels.  Crimes against the person rose substantially – they quadrupled from last month in both beats (12Y, from 3 to 12; 13X, from 2 to 8).  Not huge but a bad trend.  Ordinary property crimes were up slightly in 12Y and even in 13X.  Auto related property crimes doubled in 12Y (10 to 20), but only rose by 1 in 13X.  Quality of life crimes (mostly vandalism) went from 5 to 11 in 12Y, but only increased by 1 in 13X.

Crime was down substantially in August in both beats.  Between the 2 beats, 46 incidents were reported, 31 in 12Y and 15 in 13X.  We haven’t had that few crimes reported in these beats since April 2018 (45) and May 2018 (32); and before those months  we haven’t recorded this few crimes since I began keeping statistics in 2014. 

The only categories that increased in August were in 13X:  crimes against the person (doubled, from 1 to 2) and property crimes, auto (increased from 3 to 8).  Either it was too hot for the crooks to come out, or people have quit reporting crimes.  Remember, if you experience a crime and don’t report it, it doesn’t turn up in this list.

 I don’t commonly recommend reading the minutes, as I assume you will if you’re interested; but this was one of the most interesting meetings I’ve attended in my 13 years as secretary.  We had an Assistant District Attorney and a retired Public Defender, both from Alameda County, who discussed how the criminal justice system operates and has operated in our county.  If you have any interest in the subject, I recommend you read the document, which is 8 pages.
