  • 180 officers quit or retired last year

  • Cases are up by year (+100 increases from last year)

  • 12 incidents of car prowls on or around Davis recently, SPD is looking at how to increase patrols in this area from 1am to 6am

  • Can request a security audit from Joe to personally come and review your property

  • SPD offers a variety of classes for crime prevention and women’s personal safety

  • YOY cases are up, while calls to 911 are down. Joe recommends calling to report even car prowls because the number of calls they receive from a neighborhood can impact how many officers get deployed there.

CSC Incidents

  • 12/20/20 - On swing shift (between 8 pm - 10 pm), someone in the community that appeared to be experiencing some sort of psychotic episode (unsure if this was related to any substance use or not), quickly drove their vehicle into our parking lot reporting he was being followed/chased. Staff attempted to engage with this person upon him entering & exploring our parking lot and he eventually ended up getting back into his vehicle and driving off. Officers were around the corner and ended up driving after him. After he left, it was discovered he ditched a firearm in our parking lot under one of our parked vehicles. Officers came to request camera footage and informed us that this person was a murder suspect. He later found out that this person was taken into custody. 

  • 12/24/20 - During swing shift (around 9 pm) there was an altercation among people parking near our dumpsters that quickly led to gunfire (staff reported hearing 5-6 shots in total), one of which hit one of our windows in our intake room and broke a window. The parties involved in the altercation either ran or drove off. Some of the people that ran off briefly were in our parking lot as they ran away but quickly fled our property. We were able to call 911 and they responded fairly quickly. We reviewed camera footage and followed up with providing video footage as needed.
