Staff Report
Date: May 2, 2018
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Andrea M. Miller, City Manager
By: Jarrod Burguan, Chief of Police
Subject: Crime Analysis, Calls for Service and Response Times
Recommendation
Receive an oral presentation on crime analysis, response times and calls for service;
review and discuss.
Background
This Report provides an update on crime trends in the City of San Bernardino as well as
statistical information on calls for service, staffing, arrests, and citations. Crime and the
impact of crime on the quality of life for the residents of our City continue to be a topic of
discussion and a top priority for City leadership.
Crime Analysis
Over the last 20 years, overall crime in the City of San Bernardino has decreased. The
crime trends in the City, like other communities, have ebbed and flowed with national
trends and patterns including the economy. Further, the Police Department's ability to
respond to calls for service in a timely manner and proactive enforcement efforts have
been impacted by staffing levels, which also affects overall crime rates.
The following graph shows 23 years of data and the relationship of Part 1 crimes, which
include the major crimes of murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, theft, and grand
theft auto (GTA), per 10,000 people to the population of San Bernardino.
For comparison purposes, 23 years of crime data has been used because this is the
earliest date in which Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting
(UCR) digital records were available online. The UCR Program is a nationwide,
cooperative statistical effort of nearly 18,000 city, university and college, county, state,
tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes
brought to their attention. The Police Department does not maintain digital records for
periods earlier than 1995.

The graph above reflects that Part 1 crime has decreased from 1,057.81 crimes per
10,000 people in 1995 to 520.16 crimes per 10,000 in 2017. The lowest number of
crimes per 10,000 people was recorded in 2011 at 485.99. Overall, the number of
crimes per 10,000 people is significantly lower than it was in the late 1990s.

Violent crimes have decreased from 1995 at 215.08 crimes per 10,000 to 130.21 crimes
per 10,000 in 2017. This number has increased over the last few years from 81.52 in
2010, which was the lowest recorded in the City. The lowest number of property crimes
per 10,000 people was recorded in 2017 at 389.95.

single mass shooting/terrorism
Notwithstanding the IRC incident and a small number of domestic cases, a vast majority
of the City's homicides are connected to drug, gang, and prostitution activity.
Investigators note that a very high number of known offenders have extensive criminal
histories, are often on parole, probation, or out of jail as a result of AB109, Prop 47, and
other state policies. This raises the point that a more effective criminal justice system
and policies that effectively manager offenders would significantly impact violent crime
activity in the City of San Bernardino.
Rape: This category of UCR reporting has increased significantly in recent years. When
analyzing the data, there are two primary factors that we believe have led to the
increase. The first was a change in the definition of this category that includes crimes
that had not previously been reported. The second is the increase in sexual assault
discussions that have been at the forefront of public dialog in recent years. Increased
awareness has led to an increase in sexual assault encounters that previously may
have gone unreported. Investigators report that a vast majority of sexual assaults fall
into three categories: some are determined to be related to prostitution activity after
extensive investigation, some are assaults where the victim knows the offender (i.e.,
`Date Rape'), and many are cases involve family members (i.e., child abuse). Cases
involving a report of a person being sexually assaulted by a stranger are rare.
Arrest Data
The following graph shows the number of arrests separated by felonies and
misdemeanors over the last ten years, from 2008 to 2017. The graph also depicts the
number of felony and misdemeanor arrests separated by adults and juveniles. More
than 7,000 adults were arrested in 2017, which reflects an increase over prior arrests.

The table below shows the total number of calls in each priority category. The number
of officers noted each year on the chart above and the chart below reflect the actual
staffing as of July 1 of each year.
The highest sworn staffing level authorized for the Police Department occurred in FY
2008/09 where authorized staffing reached 356 officers. Response times during that
period were at their lowest and the reduction in staff contributed to the increase in
response times. The year the Department dropped below 300 officers (2011 to 2012)
resulted in the steepest rise in response times.
Total calls for service fell during the period represented on the tables above. The drop in
overall CFS's is not believed to be indicative of fewer calls; rather it may be indicative of
the Department not responding to certain lower level calls as a result of the staffing
limitations and the need to prioritize responses. The number of higher priority calls rose
significantly during this period.
Over the past year, the City and Police Department have made significant progress in
increasing the sworn staffing. Excluding officers in training and at the academy, there
are approximately 235 sworn officers working plus an additional 15 officers in various
phases of training for a total sworn staffing of 250. Response times from January 1,
2018 through April 23, 2018, are generally decreasing as reflected below:

PE P1 P2 P3 P4
7.76 38 106 151 183
As we continue to add sworn police officers in accordance with the Policing Plan
created for the Bankruptcy Court and adopted by the City, we anticipate the City will
continue to see response times reduced.
Staffing Levels +'April 2018
Current Sworn Staffing: Authorized 261 — Actual 250 (includes officers at the
academy and in training).
Current Civilian Staffing: Authorized 177 — Actual 145
Part -Time Staffing: Authorized 55 — Actual 28
Historical Authorized Sworn Staffing — Hitjhliights.
2008 356 Officers (highest number)
2015 248 Officers (Lowest number in 20 years)
2017 261 Officers (Includes the positions added to the Department under a DOJ
COPS Hiring Grant)
In late 2015, actual staffing levels for sworn officers fell to a low of about 210 officers
(closer to 200 when accounting for injuries). The priority has been to rebuild the sworn
ranks. Significant progress has been made in recent years in bringing that number to
near full authorized strength; this also accounts for natural attrition that occurs
(retirements, etc.). As we approach full authorized staffing at the sworn ranks, we will
shift hiring priorities to the civilian vacancies within the Police Department.
Summary
This is a snapshot of various metrics tracked within the Police Department. Behind all of
these metrics are discussions that could go into much greater detail as to the nuisances
and causes of crime. Improvements within a community are not just crime related as
economic development, education, housing, and many other factors contribute to that
discussion. Additionally, a stronger and more effective criminal justice system after
police contact can be incredibly important in reducing and preventing crime.
2018-2019 Goals and Objectives
The Crime Analysis staff report aligns with Goal No. 2: Provide for the Safety of Cit
Residents and Businesses, as this goal directly correlates with the Department's goal of
providing for the safety of our citizens and businesses; Goal No. 3: Create. Maintain and
Grow Jobs and Economic Value in the City, as crime and public safety is directly related
to our ability to attract economic development to the City; and, Goal No. 5: Improve City
Government Operations, as our ability and capacity to respond to calls for service and
manage workloads is directly related to providing service in the most efficient manner.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino
discuss, review, and file the Crime Analysis report.

a few years ago to address her osteoarthritis. She asked that the City help seniors get
their medication.
Mark Estermyer, Highland, presented a letter to the City Council regarding comments
made by the City Manager at a March 7, 2018 meeting. He said the dissemination of

Joint Regular Meeting Minutes April 18, 2018
Sandra Owen, San Bernardino, spoke about her appreciation for San Bernardino
resident Pj Seleska's role in responding to a heart attack that Sandra experienced on
March 1 and said she wanted to let people in the City know she was grateful.
Colin Strange, of the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce, said that candidate
forums had been televised via the City's government access channel for the past 25
years, said they reached elderly and disabled people who could not access forums
otherwise, and he asked the Council and City Manager for reconsideration of the new
policy not to use any City facility for political purposes.
William Cioci, San Bernardino, asked about the disposal of animals in case the animal
shelter is closed and read a letter regarding cannabis licensing requirements for High
Times planned event at the National Orange Show.
Stephanie Lanfeste said she had received daily text messages about animals being
put down at the shelter. She praised shelter staff and said the opportunity to save
shelter animals would be lost if the san Bernardino facility closed because people would
not take them to the Riverside facility, but rather drop them in the streets. She said the
shelter had improved from a 58% kill rate in 2013 to a 10% kill rate now; a rate of 8% or
less would qualify the facility as a "no -kill" shelter.
Jose Ocano, Los Angeles, Pacific Regional Director of Best Friends Animal Society,
said his organization would not advocate who the City should contract animal shelter
services to, but asked that whomever the City chooses should be committed to a no -kill
policy.
Alice Chow, Highland, said she loved the city and she volunteers 3-4 hours each day at
the City shelter. Her group makes the dog beds at the shelter, helps pet owners pay
their bills and also raises money for surgeries for stray animals. She said the working
relationship with the City shelter was excellent and asked for more time to make the kill
rate at the shelter better.
Jessica Lopez, Pomona, cited statistics about different kinds of animal shelters.
Jennifer Rosengard, Upland, spoke about the Daisy Hope Foundation and a mobile
spay vehicle available to address San Bernardino needs.
Marie Scheffler, San Bernardino, said a city the size of San Bernardino needs an
animal shelter.
Janine Nielsen, Redlands, said she is a realtor and puller of animals for the City shelter
and a volunteer for rescue. She said the real estate community is impacted by the
animal shelter because homebuyers are looking for pet -friendly shelters, parks and they
all have a stake in the issue. She said realtors had partnered with the Daisy's Hope
Foundation to offer free spaying services to up to 250 pets.
Faith Easdale, Highland, said she recently spent three days in the riverbed rescuing
animals and spoke of some of the sights she'd seen in her experience.
Helen Williams, San Bernardino, said she sees two or three stray animals every day in
her ward — Ward Two. She said a low cost spay/neuter program and a partnership with
local nonprofits for an awareness campaign would be beautiful. She said she is
concerned that stray animals sent to Riverside facility would not be reclaimed.
Angela Halfman, San Bernardino, said she was part of Cause for San Bernardino
Paws, and praised increased transparency at the City shelter. She asked that a task
Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino Page 4 Printed 412312018
Joint Regular Meeting Minutes April 18, 2018
force be convened to find the best solutions for the City and asked people to work
collaboratively.
Caryn Curren, San Bernardino, said 71% of the community supports local animal care
services and asked for a committee to address local services.
Myra Perez, Rialto, said she was passionate about animals and asked that the council
pay attention to the concerns of the people and that she and her group have been
reaching out to the media to make sure the shelter is not closed. She said closing the
shelter would further affect San Bernardino's image. She suggested using in -fill
properties to support a shelter.
Mia Davis, San Bernardino, said it is wonderful to see San Bernardino City to start
rising again and that the City is the heart of the County and said that to not look and
hear what people who are investing their time in the City for animals, is a shame. She
said this is an opportunity to do something wonderful with people and resources.
Anthony Forfa, San Bernardino, spoke about the cannabis issue and changing
requirements for the distances required for a commercial cannabis business. He said
the community needs respectable dispensaries established for the people.
Kaiser Ahmed, Redlands, spoke about his candidacy for Congress and said he
supports Medicare for all and services for veterans.
Forela Piedra, Highland, said she loves the City and its dogs. She spoke about dogs
during the 2008-09 housing crisis.
Barbara Babcock, San Bernardino, spoke about changes with the animal control
shelter over the past several years.
Jim Smith, San Bernardino, complimented the City Manager's office for the combining
of the Fine Arts Commission and the Historical Preservation Commission and said it
makes sense. He announced the upcoming tree planting event, the Rotary mayoral
candidate forum and the pioneer event.

Staff Report
Date: May 2, 2018
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From. Andrea M. Miller, City Manager
By: Jarrod Burguan, Chief of Police
Subject: Crime Analysis, Calls for Service and Response Times
Recommendation
Receive an oral presentation on crime analysis, response times and calls for service;
review and discuss.
Background
This Report provides an update on crime trends in the City of San Bernardino as well as
statistical information on calls for service, staffing, arrests, and citations. Crime and the
impact of crime on the quality of life for the residents of our City continue to be a topic of
discussion and a top priority for City leadership.
Crime Analysis
Over the last 20 years, overall crime in the City of San Bernardino has decreased. The
crime trends in the City, like other communities, have ebbed and flowed with national
trends and patterns including the economy. Further, the Police Department's ability to
respond to calls for service in a timely manner and proactive enforcement efforts have
been impacted by staffing levels, which also affects overall crime rates.
The following graph shows 23 years of data and the relationship of Part 1 crimes, which
include the major crimes of murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, theft, and grand
theft auto (GTA), per 10,000 people to the population of San Bernardino.
For comparison purposes, 23 years of crime data has been used because this is the
earliest date in which Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting
(UCR) digital records were available online. The UCR Program is a nationwide,
cooperative statistical effort of nearly 18,000 city, university and college, county, state,
tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes
brought to their attention. The Police Department does not maintain digital records for
periods earlier than 1995.

The graph above reflects that Part 1 crime has decreased from 1,057.81 crimes per
10,000 people in 1995 to 520.16 crimes per 10,000 in 2017. The lowest number of
crimes per 10,000 people was recorded in 2011 at 485.99. Overall, the number of
crimes per 10,000 people is significantly lower than it was in the late 1990s.

Murder. In the early to mid -1990's, the City's homicide rate exceeded 80 at one point,
which was in 1992 at 82 murders. The average number of murders declined to an
average of 30 per year from about 2008 through 2011 and increased to 44 to 47
beginning in 2012. In the above table, the outlier was 2016, where there was a
significant increase in homicides to 62 recorded cases. Of note is the 2015 number
which reflects the 14 people who were murdered in the single mass shooting/terrorism
case at the Inland Regional Center (IRC).
Notwithstanding the IRC incident and a small number of domestic cases, a vast majority
of the City's homicides are connected to drug, gang, and prostitution activity.
Investigators note that a very high number of known offenders have extensive criminal
histories, are often on parole, probation, or out of jail as a result of AB109, Prop 47, and
other state policies. This raises the point that a more effective criminal justice system
and policies that effectively manager offenders would significantly impact violent crime
activity in the City of San Bernardino.
Rape: This category of UCR reporting has increased significantly in recent years. When
analyzing the data, there are two primary factors that we believe have led to the
increase. The first was a change in the definition of this category that includes crimes
that had not previously been reported. The second is the increase in sexual assault
discussions that have been at the forefront of public dialog in recent years. Increased
awareness has led to an increase in sexual assault encounters that previously may
have gone unreported. Investigators report that a vast majority of sexual assaults fall
into three categories: some are determined to be related to prostitution activity after
extensive investigation, some are assaults where the victim knows the offender (i.e.,
`Date Rape'), and many are cases involve family members (i.e., child abuse). Cases
involving a report of a person being sexually assaulted by a stranger are rare.
Arrest Data

Calls for Service and Response Times
The following table provides the average response times for calls for service separated
by the priority from 2008 through 2017. Priority E calls are `immediate' life safety calls,
P1 involve serious threats and felony crimes in progress, P2 are potentially serious and,
misdemeanor crimes in progress, P3 are hazardous conditions but not an immediate
safety concern, P4 are property crimes not in progress (general guidelines).
The table below shows the total number of calls in each priority category. The number
of officers noted each year on the chart above and the chart below reflect the actual
staffing as of July 1 of each year.

The table below shows the total number of calls in each priority category. The number
of officers noted each year on the chart above and the chart below reflect the actual
staffing as of July 1 of each year.
The highest sworn staffing level authorized for the Police Department occurred in FY
2008/09 where authorized staffing reached 356 officers. Response times during that
period were at their lowest and the reduction in staff contributed to the increase in
response times. The year the Department dropped below 300 officers (2011 to 2012)
resulted in the steepest rise in response times.
Total calls for service fell during the period represented on the tables above. The drop in
overall CFS's is not believed to be indicative of fewer calls; rather it may be indicative of
the Department not responding to certain lower level calls as a result of the staffing
limitations and the need to prioritize responses. The number of higher priority calls rose
significantly during this period.
Over the past year, the City and Police Department have made significant progress in
increasing the sworn staffing. Excluding officers in training and at the academy, there
are approximately 235 sworn officers working plus an additional 15 officers in various
phases of training for a total sworn staffing of 250. Response times from January 1,
2018 through April 23, 2018, are generally decreasing as reflected below:

As we continue to add sworn police officers in accordance with the Policing Plan
created for the Bankruptcy Court and adopted by the City, we anticipate the City will
continue to see response times reduced.
Staffinq Levels tApril 2018'
Current Sworn Staffing: Authorized 261 — Actual 250 (includes officers at the
academy and in training).
Current Civilian Staffing: Authorized 177 — Actual 145
Part -Time Staffing: Authorized 55 — Actual 28
Historical Authorized Sworn Staffing — Highlights:
2008 356 Officers (highest number)
2015 248 Officers (Lowest number in 20 years)
2017 261 Officers (Includes the positions added to the Department under a DOJ
COPS Hiring Grant)
In late 2015, actual staffing levels for sworn officers fell to a low of about 210 officers
(closer to 200 when accounting for injuries). The priority has been to rebuild the sworn
ranks. Significant progress has been made in recent years in bringing that number to
near full authorized strength; this also accounts for natural attrition that occurs
(retirements, etc.). As we approach full authorized staffing at the sworn ranks, we will
shift hiring priorities to the civilian vacancies within the Police Department.
Summary
This is a snapshot of various metrics tracked within the Police Department. Behind all of
these metrics are discussions that could go into much greater detail as to the nuisances
and causes of crime. Improvements within a community are not just crime related as
economic development, education, housing, and many other factors contribute to that
discussion. Additionally, a stronger and more effective criminal justice system after
police contact can be incredibly important in reducing and preventing crime.
2018-2019 Goals and Obiectives
The Crime Analysis staff report aligns with Goal No. 2: Provide for the Safety of City
Residents and Businesses, as this goal directly correlates with the Department's goal of
providing for the safety of our citizens and businesses; Goal No. 3: Create. Maintain and
Grow Jobs and Economic Value in the City, as crime and public safety is directly related
to our ability to attract economic development to the City; and, Goal No. 5: Im ro�v_e City_
Government Operations, as our ability and capacity to respond to calls for service and
manage workloads is directly related to providing service in the most efficient manner.
Conclusion
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino
discuss, review, and file the Crime Analysis report.
