Executive Summary The Carlsbad Police Department consistently monitors crime statistics and crime trends to prevent, deter and fight crime and to give the community timely information for the public’s safety and overall quality of life. This report is intended to provide the City Council with an overview of Carlsbad’s crime statistics and trends, and the Police Department’s strategies and plans for 2024. As detailed below: •While the number of reported crimes is down across the country, there’s a widespread public perception that crime has been increasing. While the 2023 end-of-year data is not yet available, the FBI’s crime statistics for 2022 show that national violent crime decreased 1.7% in 2022 compared to 2021: o Murder and non-negligent manslaughter recorded a 2022 nationwide decrease of 6.1% compared to the previous year. o In 2022, the number of offenses in the revised rape category saw a 5.4% decrease. o Aggravated assault in 2022 decreased by 1.1%. •Data from the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) show that the number of reported crimes in San Diego County, including in Carlsbad, was down by 8% in the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022 and 13% lower than in 2021. Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 1 of 49 • The Carlsbad Police Department saw a decrease at mid-year 2023 in the following crime types, the crimes that are tracked in the California Incident-Based Reporting System: o Assault o Rape o Burglary o Larceny o Motor Vehicle Theft o Fraud • Carlsbad saw crime trends that also affected the rest of the county and state of California. These trends include: o Organized retail theft o Residential burglaries o Fentanyl overdoses o Catalytic converter thefts o Ghost guns • San Diego County has seen an increase in firearm-related offenses in 2020 and 2021. Although 2022 is slightly down from 2021, it is still up from pre-pandemic levels. • Carlsbad Police officers were involved in two officer-involved shootings in 2023. Both subjects in the shootings were carrying ghost guns; non-serialized and untraceable firearms that are purchased illegally, without a background check. • The department continues to leverage emerging technologies such as license plate readers, vehicle dashboard cams and the use of e-citations, which have proven to be an essential and effective part of its crimefighting and efficiency efforts. Explanation & Analysis Crime statistics and trends The following data is based on mid-year 2023 statistics. SANDAG and its Automated Regional Justice Information System, known as ARJIS, have not yet released their annual 2023 report on crime in our region with data from the last six months of the year. Countywide crime • Six months into 2023, the annualized mid-year crimes against persons rate of 9.71 was 6% lower than it was at mid-year 2022, when it was 10.30. This decrease reflected fewer rapes (which were down by 32%) and homicides (down 17%). • The annualized mid-year crimes against property rate of 23.56 was 9% lower than the 25.88 reported at mid-year 2022. Overall, there were decreases for all categories including 17% in burglaries, 12% in robberies, 5% in larceny thefts, and 4% in motor vehicle thefts. • The annualized mid-year rate of crimes against society, such as drug and weapons violations, of 7.26 was also 5% lower that it was at mid-year 2022 (7.64%). Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 2 of 49 Crimes in Carlsbad The Police Department responded to 114,786 calls in 2023, which included routine and uneventful calls for service as well as highly volatile, dangerous situations that involved armed, violent criminal offenders. From mid-year 2022 to mid-year 2023, Carlsbad saw an overall decrease in crime by 15%. • For crimes against persons, which include murder, assault, rape and human trafficking, the city experienced a 19% reduction from mid-year 2022 to mid-year 2023. • For crimes against property, which include theft, robbery, burglary, vandalism, auto theft and fraud, the city of Carlsbad saw a 15% reduction from mid-year 2022 to mid- year 2023 • In crimes against society, which includes drug, weapons and prostitution violations, Carlsbad saw a 12% reduction from mid-year 2022 to mid-year 2023. More information on crime in the region can be found in Exhibit 1, Mid-Year SANDAG report, Crime in San Diego Region Mid-Year 2023 Statistics. Regional crime trends Property crimes continued to be a trend across the region and are the majority of crime occurring in the city of Carlsbad. Department stores, the city’s malls and grocery stores have been victims of organized retail theft. Residential burglars have targeted homes across the city forcing entry to steal valuables. The Police Department focused on the following regional trends for the city of Carlsbad in 2023: o Organized retail theft o Residential burglaries o Fentanyl overdoses o Catalytic converter theft o Ghost guns Fentanyl overdoses In 2021, the Carlsbad Police Department saw a total of 115 drug overdoses, 16 of them fatal), with the majority of them being fentanyl related. To address the spike in overdoses, the department changed the policy for overdose investigations in early 2021 to require a detective to be called in to investigate all overdoses that involve a juvenile, whether fatal or not, and all fatal overdoses involving an adult. The department also started using the Overdose Detection Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 3 of 49 Mapping Application. This application is a resource provided by the San Diego High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area.1 It provides near real-time suspected overdose data across jurisdictions, including a mapping tool, to support public safety and public health efforts so that agencies can mobilize an immediate response to a sudden increase in overdose events. The department also purchased Narcan, a life-saving medication used to reverse an opioid overdose, including heroin, fentanyl and prescription opioid medications, and trained all officers on its use in 2021. In 2022, the Carlsbad Police Department recorded a drop in overdoses with a total of 66, five of them fatal. In 2023, the city experienced a total of 38 overdoses, 11 fatal. Countywide gun violence The volume of firearm-related calls for service in the San Diego region increased 34% from 2019 to 2020 but has decreased since the high in 2020. Countywide, there were daily averages of: • 21.5 firearm-related calls for service in 2019 • 28.2 in 2020 • 27.9 in 2021 • 26.1 in 2022 A SANDAG report on firearm crime in the San Diego region, which included data from 2019- 2022, was released in December 2023. The report showed an increase in the percentage of arrests for firearm-related offenses since 2019, even while there has been an overall downward trend in total arrest numbers. Nearly a third of the arrestees who responded for the report said they had carried a gun when committing a crime. It’s worth noting that those arrestees who reported buying a ghost gun said it had been easy to obtain. The mid-year SANDAG report, Firearm Crime in the San Diego Region Data Analysis from 2022, is provided as Exhibit 2. Ghost guns The increasing use of ghost guns in the region and across the nation poses a major threat to law enforcement —and to the public. Our department was involved in two officer-involved shootings in 2023. In both shootings, the offenders possessed ghost guns. These firearms are manufactured outside of the traditional supply chain and are especially attractive to criminals because they are manufactured and sold on the black market, therefore avoiding all firearms regulations, including a background check. Ghost guns do not have serial numbers and cannot be tracked by law enforcement. Given this crime trend, and following the two shootings involving ghost guns, the Carlsbad Police Department recognized the need to focus on seizing these firearms. The department’s Crime Suppression Team has been tasked with proactive work to seize non-serialized firearms and arrest the individuals who have or are distributing them. The department also established an ad-hoc task force with other North County police agencies, as well as the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, to collaborate on enforcement actions and intelligence regarding these weapons. This task force is intended to be a proactive effort to seize these illegal guns. 1 The federal High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program assists federal, state and local law enforcement agencies operating in areas determined to be critical drug-trafficking regions. Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 4 of 49 In the last three years, the department has confiscated 42 ghost guns. These two examples of ghost gun seizures illustrate how pervasive they have become: • One ghost gun was thrown from a vehicle during a 2.8-mile pursuit that followed a traffic stop on May 11, 2023. The driver threw a 9mm non-serialized ghost gun out of the window of the vehicle before ultimately crashing. The gun was later recovered from the middle of the roadway. • Two loaded 9mm non-serialized ghost guns were found and seized after an investigation of a fatal overdose at a local convenience store in August 2023, along with a seizure of illegal narcotics, including fentanyl. The suspect in that case is a multi-time convicted felon who was booked on numerous narcotics sales and weapons charges. Expanding use of technology The Carlsbad Police Department is consistently looking for innovative ways to fight crime, and technology continues to evolve and assist police departments to work proactively and in real- time, rather than reactively. This is extremely important given the ever-increasing need to be more strategic and efficient with the resources we have. Along with its Crime Analysis and Response model and the multiple database software systems that assist in deterring, investigating, and solving crimes, the department has found license plate readers to be a vital piece of technology. License plate readers assist officers in apprehending criminals and investigators working on crime trends such as organized retail crime, auto thefts, residential burglaries and violent crime. License plate readers in the city of Carlsbad have been highly successful in apprehending criminals responsible for crime trends that otherwise may be difficult to solve, such as the recent residential burglaries. License plate readers The following examples highlight the benefits of using license plate readers to take suspects into custody, recover stolen property and ghost guns, as well as prevent future crimes: • In April 2022 - A license plate reader spotted a stolen vehicle near Melrose Avenue and Palomar Airport Road. Officers found it a few miles away and took juveniles into custody. A loaded 9mm non-serialized ghost gun was found under the passenger seat. The juveniles were arrested for possession of the stolen vehicle and the non-serialized firearm. • In January 2023 - A group entered a Carlsbad drugstore and stole approximately $700 worth of multivitamins and over-the-counter medications. Police Department investigators determined the group was part of an organized retail theft crew suspected in numerous thefts from other stores throughout Southern California, including stores in Carlsbad. The investigators found the suspects’ license plate and added it to the license plate reader database as a “hot plate,” which would trigger a notification to the police department if the license plate was scanned within the city. More than three weeks later, the license plate was scanned entering the city at El Camino Real and Plaza Drive. Officers located the suspect vehicle as it was approaching another drug store. Inside the vehicle, officers found two bags of merchandise that had been stolen from other retail Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 5 of 49 stores. The evidence was collected and returned to the stores they were stolen from, and all suspects were taken into custody with charges from multiple jurisdictions. (A similar incident occurred in May 2023, involving a different organized retail theft crew that was responsible for over 20 cases in San Diego County. The two suspects were taken into custody after their vehicle was located by a license plate reader.) • In December 2023 - A student was walking home from school at Highland Drive and Chestnut Avenue when she was struck by a vehicle as she was crossing the street. The suspect fled, but a witness was able to provide a description of the vehicle and the driver. Using the license plate reader database, investigators were able to identify a potential suspect vehicle. Investigators then obtained surveillance footage that captured a photo of the vehicle leaving the area, which matched the vehicle they had found using the database. The driver, who was on probation for assault and had a criminal history that included driving under the influence resulting in injuries, reckless driving, auto theft, robbery, carjacking, burglary, and felony evading, was arrested for felony hit-and- run and was returned to prison. • In December 2023 - Surveillance video captured the license plate of a vehicle seen driving away from a home that had been burglarized. Officers determined that the license plate had been stolen from another vehicle in Carlsbad shortly before the burglary. Using the license plate reader database, officers were able to locate the suspect vehicle’s actual license plate when the vehicle entered the city before the commission of both crimes. With this information, investigators have been able to identify an organized crew that has been victimizing residents throughout the country and the investigation is still ongoing. Real time crime center One technological improvement the department is exploring is to create what is known as a real time crime center. Many police departments across the country are developing these centers to better leverage a broad range of current and evolving technologies. These centers enable law enforcement agencies to swiftly gain situational awareness, proactively identify threats and efficiently coordinate human resources for faster resolution of both routine and more serious incidents. The Carlsbad Police Department is researching ways to integrate technology to implement an effective real time crime center, with the safety of our officers and community in mind. The core function of a real time crime center is data gathering, analysis and information-sharing to aid in decision-making and response coordination. This role is essential in maximizing limited resources and driving real-time-data-informed decisions. According to the Bureau of Justice Assistance at the U.S. Department of Justice, a real time crime center can be used to: • Monitor and analyze live data streams from security cameras, license plate readers, social media, computer-aided dispatch systems, criminal databases and other sources. • Better coordinate a department’s resources, including both officers and non-sworn personnel. • Identify high-crime areas, active crimes in progress, high-profile offenders or re- offenders. Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 6 of 49 •Help operators quickly visualize, correlate, and share relevant information with officers in the field and partner agencies through advanced analytics and mapping software. •Allow analysts, officers, dispatchers and detectives to all work on an active crime scene at the same time, without everyone having to be in the same location. These centers enable a more proactive approach, helping law enforcement agencies do more with their available resources. Cities across the country, such as Elk Grove, CA, Albuquerque, NM, New York, NY, and Austin, TX, to name a few, have adopted them and have found they have helped make their communities safer. There are costs associated with adopting any new technology. The Police Department is in the preliminary stages of researching what those costs may be. Community survey The importance of having community input before any new technology adoption by the police department is paramount. It is also vitally important for the Police Department to balance privacy concerns with the adoption and implementation of technology. The Police Department, in conjunction with the Communication & Engagement Department, plans to conduct a community survey to assess how safe residents feel in the community, how satisfied they are with the Police Department and how comfortable the residents of Carlsbad are with the department’s adoption of innovative technology. This survey is planned to be launched this April. Fiscal Analysis There is no fiscal impact in receiving this report. Next Steps The Police Department will continue to track and monitor crime statistics and crime trends that affect the city of Carlsbad through effective crime analysis and proactive policing. The department will continue to evaluate and consider technology options that enhance the safety of our community. Environmental Evaluation This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065 in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Up until this year, Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) statistics have been presented. However, this standardized system has been replaced with the California Incident Based Reporting System (CIBRS)/ National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS). As such, this CJ Mid-Year Crime Bulletin presents Group A CIBRS/NIBRS data for the flrst six months of 2021, 2022, and 2023, as well as a comparison of mid- year 2022 UCR and CIBRS/NIBRS data. Additional information regarding CIBRS/NIBRS and this transition is provided at the end of this bulletin. Mid-Year 2023 Crime Statistics Overall crime There were 65,840 CIBRS/NIBRS Group A offenses in the San Diego region for the flrst six months in 2023 (Appendix Table 1). This number was 8% lower than in 2022 (71,180), and -13% lower than in 2021 (75,266) (Appendix Table 1). Crimes against persons Crimes against persons include 15 crime offenses (murder, negligent manslaughter, justiflable homicide, rape, sodomy, sexual assault with object, fondling, aggravated assault, simple assault, intimidation, kidnapping/abduction, incest, statutory rape, human trafflcking-commercial sex acts, and human trafflcking involuntary servitude). This category equates to the UCR Part I violent crime category, which includes four types of offenses (homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault). Highlights Six months into 2023, the annualized mid-year crimes against persons rate of 9.71 was 6% lower than it was at mid-year 2022 (when it was 10.30). This decrease reflected fewer rapes (-32%) and homicides (-17%). The annualized mid-year crimes against property rate of 23.56 was 9% lower than the 25.88 reported at mid-year 2022. Overall, there were decreases for all categories including 17% in burglaries, 12% in robberies, 5% in larceny thefts, and 4% in motor vehicle thefts. The annualized mid-year crimes against society rate of 7.26 was also 5% lower that it was at mid- year 2022 (7.64). The decrease reflected a lower number of weapon law violations (-15%) and drug narcotic violations (-8%), but there was an increase in drug equipment violations (3%). Figure 1 Proportion of Group A offenses A by crimes category at mid-year 2023 Source: SANDAG; ARJIS. 58% 24% 18% Crimes against property Crimes against persons Crimes against society Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 9 of 49 Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2023 Statistics 3 • According to CIBRS/NIBRS, a total of 15,766 crimes against persons incidents were reported to local law enforcement agencies in the region between January and June 2023 (Appendix Tables 1 and 7). This number was lower than in 2022 (-6%) (Appendix Tables 1 and 7) and 2021 (-4%) (not shown). • The 2023 annualized1 crimes against persons rate of 9.71 per 1,000 residents was lower than it was in 2022 (10.30) and 2021 (10.08) (Figure 2 and Appendix Table 3). • Of the 18 jurisdictions with incident numbers large enough to compare in 2022 and 2023, 15 had a lower crime rate in 2023 and 3 had a higher rate (Appendix Table 3). • There were 44 homicides in 2023, compared to 53 in 2022 (Appendix Table 1). o For the 22 homicide incidents in which a motive could be determined (to date) in the flrst six months of 2023, arguments were the most frequent (55%), followed by gang involvement (23%), child abuse (9%), robbery (9%), and domestic violence (5%) (not shown). • The number of non-consensual sex offenses reported to law enforcement in San Diego County in the flrst half of 2023 (679) represented a 28% decrease from 2022 (949) (Appendix Table 1). • The 4,484 aggravated assaults reported during the flrst six months of the year represented an increase of 4% from the same timeframe last year (Appendix Table 1). At the same time, the number of simple assaults incidents (9,096) which accounted for almost three in flve (58%) of the total crimes against persons reported in 2023, decreased 9% from the 9,968 reported in 2022 (Appendix Table 1). Simple assaults include all assaults and attempted assaults which are not aggravated in nature and do not result in serious injury to the victim. • The 1,132 reported acts of intimidation in mid-year 2023 increased 5% from 2022 (1,081) (Appendix Table 1). • The 294 incidents of kidnapping and abduction for mid-year 2023 represented a decrease of 13% from 2022 (339) (Appendix Table 1). 1 The annualized mid-year crime rates per 1,000 residents are estimated by multiplying the number of crimes reported between January and June by two and dividing that number by the population which has been divided by 1,000. Figure 2 Annualized crime rates by category at mid year 2021-2023 Source: SANDAG; ARJIS. 10.08 26.01 10.22 10.30 25.88 7.64 9.71 23.56 7.26 Crimes against persons Crimes against property Crimes against society Rate per 1,000 Population 2023 2022 2021 Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 10 of 49 Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2023 Statistics 4 Crimes against property Crimes against property include 12 crime offenses (robbery, burglary, larceny theft, motor vehicle theft, arson, destruction of property, counterfeiting/forgery, fraud, embezzlement, extorsion/blackmail, bribery, and stolen property). This category equates to the UCR Part I property crime category, which includes three types of offenses (burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft). • A total of 38,276 crimes against property incidents were reported to law enforcement in the region during the flrst six months of 2023 (Appendix Tables 1 and 8). This number was 9% lower than in 2022 and 2021 (42,044 and 42,270 respectively). In 2023, these types of crime incidents accounted for almost six in every ten (58%) crimes committed in the region (Appendix Table 1). • The 2023 annualized crimes against property rate of 23.56 per 1,000 residents was lower than in 2022 (25.88) and 2021 (26.01) (Figure 2 and Appendix Table 4). • Of the 19 jurisdictions with incident numbers large enough to compare in 2022 and 2023, 17 had a lower crime rate in the flrst six months of 2023 and 2 had a higher rate (Appendix Table 4). • The number of robberies across the region decreased 12% from mid-year 2022 (1,343) to 2023 (1,180) (Appendix Table 1). It should be noted that robbery was considered a violent crime under UCR Part I. • The 3,334 burglaries reported in the flrst half of 2023 represented a decrease of 17% from 2022 (4,001) (Appendix Table 1). • The number of larcenies reported in the region at mid-year 2023 (15,843), represented a 5% decrease from 2022 (16,671). Larcenies also represented around two in flve (41%) of every crime against property incident reported at mid-year 2023 (Appendix Table 1). • Motor vehicle thefts decreased 4% from 5,992 in mid-year 2022 to 5,753 at mid-year 2023 (Appendix Table 1). • Arsons reported across the region were down 40% from 2022 (Appendix Table 1). • There were 7,018 destruction of property (vandalism) offenses reported during the flrst six months of the year, 10% lower than in 2022 (7,807) (Appendix Table 1). • All other crimes against property categories were lower in 2023 compared to the previous year. These categories included a decrease of 14% in counterfeiting/forgery, 15% for fraud offenses, and 14% for embezzlement (Appendix Table 1). Crimes against society Crimes against society include 7 crime offenses (drug/narcotic violations, drug equipment violations, gambling offenses, pornography/obscene material, prostitution, weapon law violations, and animal cruelty). It should be noted that there was no comparable UCR Part I crime category. What are the most common Group A offenses? In the first six months of 2023, an average number of these 5 most common offenses were reported per day: Larceny/theft: 88 Simple assault: 50 Destruction of property: 39 Drug narcotic violations: 34 Motor vehicle thefts: 32 Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 11 of 49 Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2023 Statistics 5 • A total of 11,798 crimes against society incidents were reported to law enforcement in the region between January and June 2023 (Appendix Tables 1 and 9). This number was lower than in 2022 (-5%) (Appendix Table 1) and 2021 (-29%) (not shown). • The 2023 annualized crimes against society rate of 7.26 per 1,000 residents was lower than in 2022 (7.64), and in 2021 (10.22) (Figure 2 and Appendix Table 5). • Of the 18 jurisdictions with incident numbers large enough to compare in the flrst six months of 2022 and 2023, 9 had a higher crime rate, 8 had a lower crime rate, and 1 had the same rate in 2023. (Appendix Table 5). • The 6,153 drug/narcotic violations reported during the flrst six months of the year represented a decrease of 8% compared to 2022 (6,666). On the other hand, drug equipment violations (4,038) increased 3% compared to 2022 (3,902) and prostitution crime incidents (140) increased 40% from 2022 (100)2 (Appendix Table 1). • The 1,430 weapon law violation offenses reported in the flrst half of 2023 was 15% lower than in 2022 (1,674) (Appendix Table 1). Most crime categories decreased from 2022 to 2023 2 Increase in prostitution crime incidents are due to large demand reduction operations across several jurisdictions. Crime offenses that decreased Crime offenses that increased • Homicide • Sex offenses • Simple assault • Kidnapping/Abduction • Robbery • Burglary • Larceny theft • Motor vehicle theft • Arson • Vandalism/Destruction of property • Forgery • Fraud • Embezzlement • Stolen property • Drug violations • Pornography • Weapon violations • Aggravated assault • Intimidation • Drug equipment violations • Prostitution Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 12 of 49 Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2023 Statistics 6 Understanding the crime reporting transition Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) System The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) System was used and maintained nationally by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) since the 1920s. This crime reporting system collected data on eight index crimes and only reported information on the most serious crime or highest charge that occurred within each incident. For example, if someone breaks into a vehicle, commits a simple assault, and then commits a rape, UCR would only count the rape offense (highest offense), since in this hierarchy system, only the most severe charge is recorded. UCR had two speciflc categories known as Part I (8 offenses) and Part II (21 offenses). Once crime data were submitted, there was no continuous updating. National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) The National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) is an incident-based reporting system that was flrst created in the 1980s. The system collects data on all crimes or offenses reported to law enforcement agencies, not just the highest charges within those crimes. NIBRS also collects more detailed information on each crime incident, as well as on separate offenses that occur within the same incident (e.g., an incident can include the crimes/offenses of rape, motor vehicle theft, and kidnapping). Law enforcement agencies must ensure that each offense is reported as a separate and distinct crime and not just a part of another offense. They must also report the date and time of the offense, location, victim and offender demographics, and the relationships between the individuals involved in the crime. NIBRS has two speciflc crime categories known as Group A and Group B offenses. Group A offenses are the most serious crimes (e.g., murder, rape, robbery, and burglary). Group B offenses tend to be less serious in nature (e.g., disorderly conduct, curfew/loitering/vagrancy, drunkenness, and trespassing). In order to comply with the FBI mandated NIBRS reporting deadline of 2021, San Diego County law enforcement agencies began cooperating with the Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS) in 2016 to implement the new system and improve the quality and breadth of local crime data. California Incident Based Reporting System (CIBRS) The California Incident-Based Reporting System (CIBRS) is a specialized reporting system under NIBRS to help California law enforcement agencies collect data efflciently. This system enables agencies to transmit their NIBRS data to the California Department of Justice (CA- DOJ), which then forwards the data to the United States Department of Justice (US-DOJ), to ensure adherence to NIBRS reporting standards. San Diego County law enforcement agencies became CIBRS compliant in 2022, one year after commencing their NIBRS data reporting efforts. CIBRS also has two speciflc crime categories: Group A with the most serious crimes (52 offenses) and Group B with the less serious crimes (8 offenses). Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 13 of 49 Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2023 Statistics 7 How do CIBRS and NIBRS differ? The primary difference between CIBRS and NIBRS is that CIBRS is a state speciflc system that collects additional data elements (e.g., type of property stolen and its value, gang related crimes, hate crimes, and domestic violence incidents), while NIBRS is a national system that is used by law enforcement agencies across the United States with extra categories exclusive to federal and tribal law enforcement agencies (e.g., immigration violations, and fugitive offenses). How do CIBRS/NIBRS compare to UCR? In order to understand the differences between CIBRS/NIBRS and UCR, the following tables compare how mid-year 2022 (the only year both crime categorization systems were used) CIBRS/NIBRS statistics compare to UCR statistics. As these tables show, due to the inclusion of additional crime categories and the fact that multiple offenses can be included in each crime (not just the most serious), the total number of crimes against persons at mid-year 2022 was 16,730, compared to 4,842 Part I violent crimes under UCR (Table 2), the total number of crimes against property was 42,044, compared to 27,832 Part I UCR property crimes (Table 3), and there were 12,406 crimes against society (Table 4). When considering regional crime statistics moving forward, it is important to remember that the 71,180 CIBRS/NIBRS total Group A crimes reported at mid-year 2022 compared to the 32,674 total Part I UCR crimes reported refiect the multiple differences between the reporting systems as described in more detail in Tables 1-4, rather than a change in criminal behavior. Table 1: Differences between UCR and CIBRS/NIBRS UCR CIBRS/NIBRS • Most serious offense counted • Includes 4 violent crimes and 3 property crimes as Part 1 offenses • Static database and not continuously updated • No mechanism to track whether crime is attempted or committed • Only gathers weapon information for murder, robbery, and aggravated assaults • Up to ten offenses counted • Includes 15 crimes against persons, 26 crimes against property, and 11 crimes against society as part of Group A offenses • Continuously updated database • Tracks by labelling offenses with “A” for attempted and “C” for completed • Collects weapons information on all violent crimes Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 14 of 49 Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2023 Statistics 8 Table 2: CIBRS/NIBRS vs UCR 2022 comparison Crimes Against Persons 2022 CIBRS/NIBRS 2022 UCR Murder 53 53 Negligent Manslaughter 2 N/A Justifiable Homicide 0 N/A Total Non-Consensual Sex Offenses 949 N/A Rape 289 485 Sodomy 76 N/A Sexual Assault with Object 55 N/A Fondling 529 N/A Aggravated Assault 4,294 4,304 Simple Assault 9,968 N/A Intimidation 1,081 N/A Kidnapping/Abduction 339 N/A Total Consensual Sex Offenses: 42 N/A Incest 0 N/A Statutory Rape 42 N/A Human Trafficking, Commercial Sex Acts 0 N/A Human Trafficking, Involuntary Servitude 2 N/A Total 16,730 4,842 Source: SANDAG; ARJIS Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 15 of 49 Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2023 Statistics 9 Table 3: CIBRS/NIBRS vs UCR 2022 comparison Crimes Against Property 2022 CIBRS/NIBRS 2022 UCR Robbery 1,343 1,360 Burglary/Breaking & Entering 4,001 3,880 Larceny/Theft Offenses 16,671 16,908 Motor Vehicle Theft 5,992 5,684 Arson 239 N/A Destruction Of Property 7,807 N/A Counterfeiting/Forgery 398 N/A Fraud Offense 4,239 N/A Embezzlement 91 N/A Extortion/Blackmail 102 N/A Bribery 1 N/A Stolen Property Offenses 1,160 N/A Total 42,044 27,832 Source: SANDAG; ARJIS Table 4: CIBRS/NIBRS vs UCR 2022 comparison Crimes Against Society 2022 CIBRS/NIBRS 2022 UCR Drug/Narcotic Violations 6,666 N/A Drug Equipment Violations 3,902 N/A Gambling Offenses 4 N/A Pornography/Obscene Material 33 N/A Prostitution 100 N/A Weapons Law Violation 1,674 N/A Animal Cruelty 27 N/A Total 12,406 N/A Source: SANDAG: ARJIS Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 16 of 49 Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2023 Statistics 10 Additional factors to note The data provided in this mid-year crime report are collected from a continuously updated database. The crime numbers represent a point in time and may not refiect the current status of the database. For this report, data for ARJIS member agencies were downloaded from the CA-DOJ site on July 17, 2023, covering data from January 1 through June 30 for the years of 2021, 2022, and 2023. These data are operational in nature and subject to change, including changes to incidents and offenses which have already been posted on prior dates. For this report, only Group A offense data were available and verifled by all law enforcement agencies in the region. Due to the different methodologies used to compile and report data between UCR and CIBRS/NIBRS, the crime numbers shown here are not comparable to prior reports. The number and type of crimes can be infiuenced by several factors, including the degree of opportunity to commit crimes in a given jurisdiction, which can be related to the amount of commercial land use and ease of access to the area. It should be noted that in 2021, Coronado Police Department, California State University San Marcos, San Diego State University, and the University of California San Diego did not provide data because they were not fully transitioned to CIBRS/NIBRS. In 2022, San Diego State University and the University of California San Diego did not provide data for the same reason. As such, crime rates and other comparisons to previous years in the Appendix tables for these agencies are not represented. Due to the small number of crimes these agencies had in previous year’s totals, these missing data do not have a signiflcant effect on regional totals and rates presented here. Crime statistics including Part B offenses as well as domestic violence, and hate crime incidents for January through December 2023 are expected to be available in March 2024. If you have any questions about these numbers, please contact the Criminal Justice Research Division at (619) 699-1900.

These data include the number of homicides, robberies, and assaults that involve the use of firearms by jurisdiction and location; the number of arrests for firearm-related offenses by jurisdiction and location; and the number of calls for service (CFS) for shots-fired and other firearm-related offenses directly from local law enforcement agencies. Additionally, SANDAG has been conducting interviews with arrestees in local jails as part of the Substance Abuse Monitoring (SAM) project regarding access and use of firearms in crimes, including those known as “ghost guns.”1 This CJ Brief examines the issue of firearm-related crime, access to and use of firearms in crimes, and law enforcement’s response to firearm-related crime in the San Diego region. This publication is possible thanks to the collaboration with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California (SDCA) and The Children’s Initiative (TCI) as part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) program, a nationwide initiative that brings together federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement officials, prosecutors, community leaders, and other stakeholders to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in a community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them.2 Highlights •The region experienced a daily average of 26.1 firearm-related calls for service (CFS) in 2022. •While the number of violent crimes increased in 2022, the proportion of those that involved the use of a firearm decreased from 17% in 2021 to 14% in 2022. •Arrestees that used a firearm in committing a crime most often used it in robberies or drug deals. •For the first time since 2019, 2022 saw a decrease in the number of ghost guns seized in the region. •Arrestees that reported ever buying a ghost gun, all said it was “Easy” or “Very Easy” to obtain. •Since 2019, there has been an increase in the percent of arrests for firearm-related offenses, while there has been an overall downward trend in total arrest numbers. 1 Ghost guns or Privately Made Firearms (PMFs) are firearms that are not serialized with a registration number. There are a few varieties of ghost guns that are in circulation. One type is built from a kit containing 80% of a completed gun (i.e., the gun’s lower receiver), but require a barrel and slide to be added to be fully assembled. Another variety of ghost gun is entirely 3D printed and manufactured with plastic materials. 2 This project was supported by Grant No. 2020-GP-BX-0078 awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. The Bureau of Justice Assistance is a component of the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs, which also includes the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the National Institute of Justice, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the Office for Victims of Crime, and the SMART Office.

Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 41 of 49 Firearm Crime in the San Diego Region 3 The Issue of Firearm-Related Crime The San Diego region, much like other metropolitan areas, have growing concerns about gun crimes and their impact on public safety. To understand this multi-faceted issue, it is important to gather data from several different valid sources. The analyses conducted with these data can help inform policies and law enforcement strategies. Firearm-Related Calls for Service Although not every call for service (CFS) results in a crime incident, it can be used as a measure of firearm activity. In addition, CFS data can be indicative of demand for police service. The volume of firearm-related CFS in the San Diego region increased 34% from 2019 to 2020, but has decreased since the high in 2020 (Figure 1).3 Overall, there was a daily average of 21.5 firearm-related CFS in 2019, 28.2 in 2020, 27.9 in 2021, and 26.1 in 2022. Figure 1: Number of Firearm-Related Calls for Service in the San Diego Region, 2019-2022 Source: SANDAG Firearms and Violent Crime The total number of violent crimes (i.e., homicide, robbery, aggravated assault) has increased every year between 2019 and 2022 in the San Diego region, with the percentage of violent crimes that involve the use of a firearm also increasing from 12% in 2019, to 17% in 2021 (Figure 2). The upward trend reverted in 2022 with a 3% decline to 14%, but this was still higher than 2019 (Figure 2). 3 It is important to note that while a CFS may be considered firearm-related, citizens that report shots fired may have heard a sound resembling a gunshot, but no shot occurred. 7,849 10,550 10,183 9,512 2019 2020 2021 2022 Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 42 of 49 Firearm Crime in the San Diego Region 4 Figure 2: Number of Violent Crimes with and without a Firearm in the San Diego Region, 2019-2022 Source: SANDAG; ARJIS Looking at the crime categories separately, the percentage of homicides that involved a firearm saw increases from 51% in 2019, to 56% in 2020 and 2021, and a decrease to 55% in 2022 (Table 1). Robberies that involved a firearm saw slight increases from 14% in 2019, to 17% in 2020 and 2021, and a 3% decline in 2022 (Table 1). Aggravated assaults that involved a firearm also increased from 11% in 2019, to 15% in 2020, to 16% in 2021, but decreased to 14% in 2022 (Table 1).4 Table 1: Number of Violent Crimes and the Percent that Involved a Firearm in the San Diego Region, 2019-2022 Crime Type 2019 2020 2021 2022 Homicide 78 (51%) 107 (56%) 112 (56%) 98 (55%) Robbery 2,814 (14%) 2,392 (17%) 2,316 (17%) 2,514 (14%) Aggravated Assault 5,586 (11%) 6,098 (15%) 6,587 (16%) 6,756 (14%) Sources: SANDAG; ARJIS Note: The percentages in the parentheses represent the proportion of that crime category for that given year that involved a firearm. 4 It should be noted that increases in violent crime during the COVID-19 pandemic are not unique to the San Diego region, as similar increases were seen in several major metropolitan areas.

Through interviewing the arrestee population, it is possible to gain insights into access and usage of guns in crime that may not have been gained otherwise. Access to Guns Over one-third (36%) of arrestee respondents reported ever having a gun, but of those, only 17% (1 in 6) reported having a gun in the past 30 days. Interviewees owned, carried, or possessed a median of three guns,6 which is more than the average 1.21 guns per American citizen.7 In terms of how the firearms were obtained, the median number obtained illegally (M=1) was higher than those legally obtained (M=0) (data not shown). Not including ghost guns, over three-fourths (77%) of arrestees reported that getting a gun was “Very Easy” or “Easy” (Figure 3). When asked how they obtained their firearm, most of them bought it (Figure 4). Of those that purchased their firearm, most of them did from friends, gun shops, or off the street (Figure 5). Figure 3: Obtaining Firearm Difficulty Source: SANDAG Note: Missing data not included. 5 Access to these interviewees was due in part to SANDAG’s Substance Abuse Monitoring (SAM) project. 6 The median is the value that is in the middle of a dataset when it is ordered. Medians are often used when there are outliers that might skew the average of the values. Due to the high standard deviations, medians are presented. 7 Karp, A. (2018).

As such, it is important to closely examine the frequency in which arrestees bought ghost guns and how they obtained them. Nearly one fifth (18%) of the arrestee respondents reported buying a ghost gun. Of those respondents that reported buying a ghost gun, all reported that it was “Easy” or “Very Easy” to acquire the parts to build a ghost gun (not shown).8 It will be challenging to regulate ghost guns as laws can make it more difficult to legally purchase firearms, but they are still limited in preventing the purchase and compilation of ghost guns or its parts. The Use of Firearms in Crime In addition to understanding access to firearms, it is important to examine how guns are used in crimes. Nearly one third (32%) of arrestee respondents reported carrying a gun when committing a crime. Of those instances, drug deals and robberies were reported as the most frequent types of crimes (Figure 6). Figure 6: Type of Crime Committed While Carrying a Gun Note: Missing data not included. Percentages will not add to 100% as the response categories were not mutually exclusive. Source: SANDAG 8 This question was asked on a four-point scale from Very Difficult to Very Easy; however, none of the respondents indicated it was difficult or very difficult to obtaining parts to build a ghost gun. 47% 28% 22% 13% 13% 3% Robbery Drug Deal Burglary Assault Motor Vehicle Theft Homicide Total = 32 Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 46 of 49 Firearm Crime in the San Diego Region 8 Law Enforcement Response to Firearm- Related Crime Ghost Gun Seizures Citizens and law enforcement agencies have expressed their concern about the growing trend of unregistered and untraceable ghost guns.9 The number of ghost guns seized in the region has increased each year from 2019 to 2021, though 2022 marked the first year in which there was a decrease (Figure 7). It is difficult to determine if increases are due to actual increases in activity or better tracking of the activity, and on the other hand if decreases are a sign of reduced activity, better concealment of such activity, or state/federal operations that may be occurring concurrently, thus not being counted in the regional numbers.10 Figure 7: Number of Ghost Guns Seized in the San Diego Region, 2019-2022 Source: SANDAG 9 California Office of the Attorney General. (2022, October 7). Attorney General Bonta Announces Arrest of Suspect with Illegal Ghost Guns, Machine Gun Kits, and Assault Weapons [Press release]. https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-announces-arrest-suspect-illegal-ghost-guns-machine- gun#:~:text=The%20number%20of%20illegal%20ghost,impacts%20the%20work%20of%20DOJ. 10 Agencies varied in how they tracked ghost guns seized and when they started collected said data. Several departments use a Firearm Manufactured by Unlicensed Subject (FMBUS) number to tag these incidents while others used a special studies code. Also, some departments started tracking ghost gun seizures in 2019 while some started in late 2021 and retroactively tagged some incidents from prior years. Because there is currently no standardized way to track these data, it is important to note that these values are likely an undercount. These values can also be an undercount as state and federal agencies also make gun crime arrests that are not counted by the local agencies. 199 448 996 784 2019 2020 2021 2022 Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 47 of 49 Firearm Crime in the San Diego Region 9 Arrests for Firearm-Related Crime In addition to examining crimes committed with a firearm, it is important to examine law enforcement’s response to said crimes. These data can indicate where more resources are possibly needed and can be applied in justice system planning. At the time of this publication, arrest data from 2022 was not available. There has been an overall downward trend of total arrests in the region over the last two years, which in part can be attributed to changes in law enforcement arrest protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the percentage of arrests for firearm-related offenses increased from 4% in 2019 to 8% in 2020 and 13% in 2021 (Figure 8). As departments issued more warnings and citations for less serious offenses during 2020 and 2021, law enforcement likely focused making arrests in more serious incidents, particularly those that involved firearms.11 Figure 8: Total Number of Arrests and Arrests for Firearm Related Offenses in the San Diego Region, 2019-2021 Source: SANDAG 11 Over 360 existing felony and misdemeanor level firearm-related penal and municipal codes were included to examine the number of arrests for firearm-related offenses by jurisdiction and location.

While the total number of violent crimes has increased from 2019 to 2022, the proportion of those committed with a firearm decreased from 17% in 2021 to 14% in 2022—albeit still higher than in 2019. Also, the region experienced increases in ghost gun seizures from 2019 to 2021, but 2022 was the first year that marked a decrease in seizures. However, it is important to frame these findings within the context of a pandemic and its impacts on citizen behavior, and protocols and priorities by law enforcement. There are data limitations to answer pressing questions (i.e., the level of ghost gun activity in the region) which may limit our understanding of the full extent of ghost gun activity in the region. As such, it is important for law enforcement agencies and stakeholders to continue collaborating to share available information and resources, collect comprehensive data, and adapt policies accordingly to ensure the safety and well-being of the community. For example, there are other efforts in the region to understand gun violence. In June 2023, San Diego County released a gun violence reduction community needs assessment report.12 In this report, the Health Assessment and Research for Communities (HARC) organization highlights important information about firearm-related violence, such as the high disproportion of firearm-related homicide, with a rate among Black individuals of 9.9 per 100,000 residents, as opposed to 1.0 for White individuals. Additionally, the report points to the spatial concentration of firearm-related deaths mainly in the Central and East Suburban areas of the County. While the report highlights a general sentiment of safety in the communities (66.5% of survey participants), still a large number report a concern about gun violence (60.8%). The same report found, however, that from 2017 to 2022 most of the firearm-related deaths in the region have been due to suicide (70.9%). These findings emphasize the utility of different data sources and metrics to gain insight and understand a little deeper the complexities when looking into gun violence and gun-related deaths. To continue the region’s efforts to shed light on gun violence, this brief will be updated on an annual basis to provide trend insights on firearm-related crime and ghost gun seizures. Additionally, SANDAG will provide supplementary updates on a semi-annual basis to compare data to the previous year. Trend data is important to help identify possible surges or decreases in crime. Additionally, analyzing trend data over time can help policymakers implement targeted interventions. 12 For more information: https://engage.sandiegocounty.gov/gvrp Feb. 6, 2024 Item #10 Page 49 of 49 1 Police Department Update Christie Calderwood, Assistant Chief of Police Mickey Williams, Chief of Police February 6, 2024 ITEM #10 POLICE DEPT.
