Executive Summary
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) recently published the county’s Crime in the San Diego Region: 2023 annual report and the 2024 mid-year crime index report. The reports included an analysis of crime statistics countywide, including increases and decreases within the county and a breakdown of the crime statistics by individual jurisdictions, including the City of Carlsbad.

In 2023, Carlsbad's overall crime rate decreased by 6%, including an 8% drop in both crimes against persons and crimes against property, reflecting increased proactive policing efforts. This aligns with the trend in the broader San Diego region, which saw a 5% overall decline in crime.

In mid-year 2024, Carlsbad’s overall crime rate decreased by an additional 4%, including a 5% increase in crimes against persons, and a 5% decrease in both crimes against property and crimes against society.

This also aligns with the county’s overall 4% decrease in crimes.

This report provides the City Council with these statistics, as well as an update on the Police Department’s response to current crime trends.

Explanation & Analysis
Crime data sources
The crime data in the latest SANDAG report uses a different reporting system than the previous report.

The FBI has used the Uniform Crime Reporting system to collect crime data since it was created in 1929.

Jan. 28, 2025
Item #15 Page 1 of 97

In 1989, it created the National Incident-Based Reporting System to create a more accurate method of collecting crime data about victims, offenders, property and arrests. This system became the FBI’s national standard for law enforcement crime data reporting in the United States. Because California has several crime classifications that are not federally recognized, the California Department of Justice established the California Incident-Based Reporting System for California agencies.

According to the Department of Justice, the benefits of this statewide system include:
• Collecting more accurate data
• Arrests and clearances are linked to specific incidents • Addition of crimes against society
• Documents animal cruelty, extortion and identity theft offenses • Gives context to crimes, including the relationship between victims and offenders, types and quantities of drugs involved, and types of property that were damaged or stolen • Greater analytical flexibility
The 2023 annual report and the 2024 Mid-Year Crime Bulletin reports released by SANDAG use California Incident-Based Reporting System data exclusively, unlike previous years when the statistics were based on Uniform Crime Reporting data. One limitation of using this data compared to the methods previously used is that it includes only those reported crimes that meet specific criteria, which means that some reported incidents in the city may not be reflected in the final count.

Additionally, the state Department of Justice has begun deactivating and rejecting reports for over 70 criminal charges, many of which are still actively used by the Police Department and prosecuted by the county District Attorney’s Office.

One example is the Department of Justice’s deactivation of California Penal Code Section 488 – Petty Theft, for statistical reporting due to the duplication with Section 484(a) – Petty Theft. Penal Code 488 has not been repealed by the State of California and is still used by many police departments and district attorney’s offices, but any crimes reported as violations of Section 488 will not be counted by the Department of Justice.

As a result of this, the crime statistics that are reported by the Department of Justice as well as SANDAG may not capture all crimes unless the State of California amends the Penal Code to be consistent with the Department of Justice’s reporting changes. The Police Department has joined a countywide effort to change the reporting process so that all reported crimes are counted by the Department of Justice.

Despite these challenges, the California Incident-Based Reporting System continues to be the optimal method for collecting crime data and examining crime rates.

Crime statistics: 2023
The 2023 Annual Crime Bulletin shows that overall crime decreased in Carlsbad by 6% from the year before, with decreases of:
• 8% in crimes against persons
• 8% in crimes against property
• 3% in crimes against society
The crimes against society category is a new addition to the state's data tracking system. It includes crimes such as drug violations, weapons charges and prostitution. Arrests on such crimes are typically the result of an increase in proactive police work.

Comparatively, San Diego County overall region saw an overall decrease of crime by 5%, with decreases of:
• 2% in crimes against persons
• 8% in crimes against property
• 5% in crimes against society
The decreases are slightly higher than those from 2021 to 2022, when Carlsbad saw a decrease of 3% overall and the county saw a decrease of 4% overall.
2021-2022 2022-2023

Crimes against property 4% -1% -8% -8%
Crimes against society 5% -18% 3% -3%
Crime rates overall 3% 4% -6% -5%

The crime rate in Carlsbad is significantly lower in all categories than the county’s average for crimes per capita of 41.16 crimes per 100,000 people:

While the crime rate has decreased in the city, the total number of calls for service has increased by 11% from 2022 to 2023, with a 3% increase in dispatched calls for service.

Comparatively, San Diego County overall region saw an overall decrease of crime by 5%, with decreases of:
• 1% in crimes against persons
• 7% in crimes against property
• 5% in crimes against society
SANDAG’s Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2024 is provided as Exhibit 2.

Key highlights from the 2023 and 2024 mid-year SANDAG reports • Overall crime decreased in Carlsbad and the County of San Diego both in 2023 and by mid-year 2024
• Over half of the crimes reported were crimes against property • Larceny accounts for the largest percentage of crimes against property • The biggest category decreases in the county for both years were fraud, theft of motor parts, and homicide
• In 2023 and the first half of 2024, the biggest decrease in Carlsbad was in auto thefts • Aggravated assaults increase in the county in both years. Carlsbad saw a 32% increase in mid-year 2024.
• Destruction of property increased by 8% in 2023 in Carlsbad but decreased by 7% in mid-year 2024
• Shoplifting increased both years in Carlsbad and the county • Drug violations, prostitution and weapons law violations increased in 2023 due to increased enforcements resulting in arrests
Police response
The Police Department continually monitors the crime rates and crime trends within the city, as well as the region and nationally and deploys resources to strategically address these issues. This year, the department identified several public safety concerns that included organized retail thefts, crimes committed by criminal organizations based out of South America and certain quality of life issues, such as drug-related operations and prostitution occurring in the city.

The Police Department took a multi-faceted approach to address these problems, implementing both proactive measures and collaborative efforts with local and federal agencies. This included increasing patrols in high-risk areas, enhancing surveillance, leveraging police technology, launching targeted operations to dismantle criminal networks and expanding community outreach programs to address the root causes of substance abuse and street-level crime. Additionally, partnerships with social services were strengthened to provide support for individuals impacted by drug dependency and prostitution to reduce recidivism and improve overall public safety.

Organized retail theft
Organized retail theft has become a significant and growing problem in many parts of the nation. This type of crime typically involves sophisticated, well-coordinated groups of thieves who steal large quantities of merchandise from stores and resell the stolen goods through various channels, often online.

Organized retail theft is often linked to larger criminal enterprises, including gangs, cartels and even international smuggling rings. Some of these groups operate with global reach, trafficking stolen goods across borders or using the proceeds to fund other criminal activities, including drug trafficking or Jan. 28, 2025
Item #15 Page 5 of 97

human trafficking. As organized retail theft has increased, there have been reports of more violent encounters between criminals and retail employees or law enforcement. In some cases, these groups are armed or may use aggressive tactics to resist being apprehended.

The 2023 crime data show that 68% of reported crimes in the city were property-related, with larceny making up 45% of these crimes. About 22% of these larceny cases involve shoplifting and thefts from commercial buildings, reflecting a 34% increase from 2021 to 2022 and a 27% increase from 2022 to 2023. This represents the second-highest increase among all reported crime types from 2022 to 2023.

In response to this, the Police Department has initiated actions such as partnering with retail managers and mall security teams to identify patterns of thefts, discuss preventative measures and deploy officers and the mall security teams during peak theft hours. The Police Department also used such unmanned patrol vehicles, marked surveillance camera trailers, the mobile command post and the department’s surveillance tower as prominent visual deterrents at the malls and shopping centers.

On the investigative front, the Crime Suppression Team, patrol officers and detectives:
• Reviewed many hours of surveillance footage to connect cases • Leveraged police tools such as license plate readers to develop potential leads • Coordinated with allied partners in law enforcement and retail managers • Obtained search warrants
• Conducted surveillance operations
These efforts led to the ultimate arrest of several suspects who were operating throughout the region.

For example, through an investigative effort led by a patrol officer and the Crime Suppression Team, a suspect from Riverside County was identified after using a distinctive “booster bag” to conceal stolen goods. His vehicle’s license plate number had been frequently captured near the stores from where he and his crew had stolen. The suspect was arrested in August 2024 and was connected to over $30,000 worth of retail thefts from the Carlsbad Premium Outlets mall, as well as numerous other cases in other counties.

Just recently, the department was notified of another theft that had occurred at Carlsbad Premium Outlets. Patrol officers quickly responded and apprehended two subjects in possession of over $2,100 worth of property that had just been stolen. Working with the Crime Suppression Team, the officers were able to identify a crew of 15 subjects who are suspected of having been responsible for at least 15 thefts from one store in Carlsbad, resulting in over $30,000 in losses. Several members of this organized theft crew have been arrested, and charges are pending for the remainder of the crew.

South American theft groups
South American theft groups, or theft rings, are organized crime networks primarily originating from countries in South America. These groups are known for operating in various countries worldwide, often focusing on specific types of theft and high-value targets. Some of the crimes these groups are known for include residential burglaries in affluent neighborhoods, organized shoplifting and pickpocketing or distraction theft. Their tactics include:
• Fast and precise operations involving multiple members who perform specific roles • High mobility, moving frequently to avoid detection and exploit new areas • Using countersurveillance methods to avoid detection, such as signal jammers.

Jan. 28, 2025
Item #15 Page 6 of 97

These tactics have created many challenges for law enforcement, and the Police Department has had to come up with creative ways to respond:
• Patrol officers devised a response plan to increase the number of units responding to any residential burglary reports
• Under this plan, several units are tasked with securing escape route choke points instead of being sent to the crime scene
• When staffing permits, the officers will ride in two-person units to reduce the response times to calls that require multiple officers
• The department had ten community meetings in the last year, hosting town hall style meetings and distributing crime prevention flyers, collaborative efforts to educate the community on preventative measures.
• Patrols have been increased in residential neighborhoods during all hours to look for any suspicious activities
• Police investigators have also established working groups with local, state and federal agencies to share information and brainstorm ideas
Earlier this year, through an extensive investigation that began in late 2023, Carlsbad officers arrested three foreign national suspects and they were charged with multiple counts of burglary in multiple states. The city experienced a drastic decrease in residential burglaries in the following months.

Narcotics, vice
The department also strives to curtail crimes against society, such as illegal narcotics and prostitution.

The current drug crisis is marked by an alarming rise in both synthetic and traditional drugs, contributing to significant public health and societal issues. Drug production and distribution remain widespread globally, and the impacts are felt in Carlsbad and across the country.

The Police Department’s Vice Narcotic Intelligence Unit conducts proactive investigations in the enforcement of drug, massage and prostitution laws. These cases are often complex and convoluted, and detectives must use various investigative techniques to identify the people who are committing these offenses, as well as conducting proactive details in order to apprehend them.

Recently, investigators identified two unrelated cocaine suppliers in North County who were involved in two cases that began in Carlsbad.
• Vice Narcotic Intelligence detectives executed a search warrant in a neighboring city that led to the seizure of $14,500 in cash, a ghost gun, a shotgun, 1.76 pounds of cocaine, mushrooms, Ecstasy and Adderall intended for sale. The suspect was arrested and charged with multiple narcotics and weapons offenses.
• Several weeks after that, investigators and patrol officers executed a search warrant in a neighboring city and confiscated six ounces of cocaine, 600 Ecstasy pills, an AK-47 pistol, two handguns and $1,400 in cash. The suspect was arrested and charged with multiple narcotics and weapons offenses.

Massage parlor prostitution is another such crime against society. It often involved human trafficking and coercion, particularly affecting vulnerable immigrant women. Many illicit massage parlors operate under the guise of legitimate businesses but engage in hidden prostitution, sometimes with ties to organized crime. More than 9,000 illicit massage parlors have been reported nationwide and individuals are urged to report suspected trafficking cases to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Increased Jan. 28, 2025
Item #15 Page 7 of 97

public awareness and stronger enforcement are essential to tackling this widespread problem.

Addressing massage parlor trafficking requires coordinated efforts across local, state and federal levels, focusing on shutting down illicit operations.

The Police Department strives to ensure that all massage businesses in the city are within compliance with both city ordinances and state policies.
• Businesses must possess a state certification, a business license and a certificate of registration that allows them to operate within the city
• Detectives conduct covert operations and routine compliance checks to monitor the adherence of these laws
Two cases in recent months highlight the benefits of these operations:
• In August 2024, detectives identified an individual who was performing massages while unlicensed and uncertified and was offering sexual acts in exchange for money at a massage business in the city. During the investigation, it was also determined that the individual had already been suspended in other states for similar crimes. The massage establishment’s owner self-surrendered their certificate of registration in lieu of revocation by the city as a result of the investigation and the business was closed down.
• The following month, it was reported to the Police Department that a female victim was sexually assaulted by a male massage therapist at another massage establishment within the city. The suspect was identified by responding officers and the department’s certificate administrator learned the suspect was not licensed by the state of California and was not certified with the City of Carlsbad. The department’s certificate administrator sent the business owner notification that the certificate of registration would be revoked. The Police Department is working with the City Attorney’s Office to review the current massage ordinance and seek opportunities to improve that process.

Community collaboration
The Police Department recognizes that building strong relationships with the community is crucial for ensuring public safety and began hosting town hall-style meetings last year.

These meetings, some of which have been attended by more than 100 members of the community, provide the Police Department the opportunity to discuss ongoing crime trends as well as preventative measures with residents. The public forum also gives residents the opportunity to ask questions and voice their concerns directly to their police department.

The department has hosted 10 community meetings over the past year focused on home burglary prevention. Officers discussed recent residential burglaries with residents, shared information on public safety initiatives, and provided prevention tips. The most recent community meeting was on Nov.19, 2024.

Fiscal Analysis
There is no fiscal impact from receiving this report.

Next Steps
The Police Department will continue to respond to crime trends in the city using strategic and proactive measures and provide regular reports to the City Council on crime trends as the data become available.

Key disclaimers to note
This is the ﬁrst SANDAG Annual Crime Bulletin reporting California Incident Based Reporting System/National Incident Based Reporting System (CIBRS/NIBRS) crime data. The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) NIBRS became the standard for law enforcement crime reporting in the United States on January 1, 2021. CIBRS is the California state speciﬁc version of NIBRS which allows California law enforcement agencies to report their crime data directly to California Department of Justice (CAL DOJ). San Diego County law enforcement agencies received CIBRS certiﬁcation in 2022, one year after commencing their NIBRS data effort.

The crime statistics shown here are not comparable to data prior to 2021 due to the reporting format of CIBRS/NIBRS. If you are looking to access historical crime data for the San Diego region prior to 2021, from the Uniform Crime Reporting Summary Reporting System (UCR Summary), please see the ARJIS Crime Stats website or prior CJ crime bulletins. Please note that data from this publication should not be compared to UCR Summary data from any other source as the offenses and/or crime cases are counted differently in different crime reporting systems. Data for this publication was extracted as a snapshot of all regional CI BRS crime counts in February and March of 2024. The information on these crime cases below was extracted from the ARJIS Operational Storehouse and is subject to change as new information becomes available. If you are looking to access more current data, please visit the SANDAG Open Data Portal at: https://opendata.sandag.org/stories/s/bsk4-5xvp.

Data derived directly from San Diego Police Department’s records management system may differ slightly from data available to SANDAG through ARJIS; therefore, aggregate data reported in this bulletin cannot offer a direct comparison to statistics originating from within San Diego Police Department. It should be noted that in 2021, Coronado Police Department provided partial CIBRS/NIBRS data (started reporting data in August of 2021); 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 did not provide data for the same reason and the University of California San Diego provided partial data (started reporting CIBRS/NIBRS data in August of 2022). As such, crime rates and other comparisons to previous years in the Appendix T ables for these agencies are not represented. Due to the small number of incidents these agencies had in previous year’s totals, these missing data do not have a signiﬁcant effect on regional totals and rates presented here.

Crime statistics including type of weapon used for robberies and aggravated assaults, type of burglary, type of motor vehicle theft, property stolen value, domestic violence incidents, and cleared offenses are expected to be available in the next Crime in the San Diego Region publication in the fall of 2024.

Crime in the San Diego Region 2021 through 2023 3
Introduction
Since 1980, SANDAG has been compiling
and reporting regional crime statistics for
San Diego County and remains the only local
source for regional statistics not available at
the national level. These statistics were
compiled and reported using the Federal
Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Uniform Crime
Reporting Summary Reporting System (UCR
Summary) program, which had been used
nationwide since the 1930's. In 2023 this
publication transitioned to reporting California
Incident Based Reporting System (CIBRS) /
National Incident Based Reporting System
(NIBRS) crime data. The NIBRS crime reporting
system was ﬁrst created by the FBI in the
1980’s with a national mandated reporting
deadline of 2021. In 2016, San Diego County law
enforcement agencies began collaborating
with the Automated Regional Justice
Information System (ARJIS) to implement the
new system and improve the quality and
breadth of local crime data. CIBRS is the
California state speciﬁc version of NIBRS which
allows California law enforcement agencies to
report their crime data directly to California
Department of Justice (CAL DOJ). San Diego
County law enforcement agencies received
CIBRS certiﬁcation in 2022, one year after
commencing their NIBRS data effort.

This 2023 Annual Crime Bulletin is the ﬁrst
SANDAG Annual Crime Bulletin with available
CIBRS/NIBRS data from 2021 to 2023.

This report presents and discusses crime trend
data from these three years, highlighting crime
rates per 1,000 residents along with actual
number of crimes reported.
1 The report also
offers additional information on the transition
to the CIBRS/NIBRS crime reporting for better
understanding.
1 2022 population estimates were utilized due to the unavailability of 2023 estimates at the time of this publication. The populations used to calculate rates are provided in Appendix Table 14. 2 Coronado Police Department and local universities’ police departments provided CIBRS data separately.

This CIBRS/NIBRS data collection effort,
extraction, and validation was supported
by ARJIS staff and ARJIS member
agencies. 2 Their support and cooperation
is gratefully acknowledged.

Overall Group A Offenses
Overall crime
In 2023, there were 133,717 CIBRS/NIBRS Group A offenses reported to law enforcement in the San Diego region, 3 reﬂecting a 5% decrease from 2022 (141,382) and a 9% decrease from 2021 (147,378) (Appendix Table 1). Crimes against property accounted for more than half (58%) of reported incidents, followed by crimes against persons (25%) and crimes against society (18%) (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Proportion of Group A offenses by crime category in 2023 Total = 133,717
Note: Percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding.

Sources: SANDAG; ARJIS
Overall, the 2023 crime rate for Group A offenses in the region was 41.16 crimes per 1,000 residents (Appendix Table 2). 4 A closer look at changes in annual crime rates per category reveals that crimes against property had the largest percent change from the year prior (Figure 2), with an 8% decrease from 2022. However, crimes against society rates show the largest decrease from two years prior (down 20% from 2021).

Figure 2: Changes in annual crime rates per category (2021-2023) Sources: SANDAG; ARJIS
3 Group A offenses include 52 offenses of the most serious crimes (e.g., murder, rape, robbery, and burglary). Group A offenses are categorized into crimes against persons, crimes against property, and crimes against society. See Appendix Table 1.
4 The annual crime rates per 1,000 residents are estimated by dividing the number of crimes reported by the population and multiplying by 1,000.

Crimes against persons
Crimes against persons include 15 crime offenses (murder, negligent manslaughter, justiﬁable homicide, rape, sodomy, sexual assault with object, fondling, aggravated assault, simple assault, intimidation, kidnapping/abduction, incest, statutory rape, human trafﬁcking - commercial sex acts, and human trafﬁcking-involuntary servitude). This category is the equivalent of UCR Summary’s Part I violent crime category, which includes four types of offenses (murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault).

According to statistics from the National Crime Victimization Survey ( still presenting UCR Summary crime categories), 5 in 2022 (the most recent year available), less than half (42%) of violent crimes were reported to law enforcement nationwide, including 64% of robberies, 50% of aggravated assaults, 37% of simple assaults, and 21% of rapes (not shown). 6 Overall decrease in reported crimes against persons
According to CIBRS/NIBRS, 32,964 crimes against persons incidents were reported to local law enforcement agencies in 2023, marking a slight decrease from 2022 ( -2%) and 2021 (-1%) (Appendix Tables 1 and 7). About one in every 99 individuals reported being a victim of such a crime in 2023. 7
However, there was variability in crime trends across different jurisdictions. Of the 19 jurisdictions with incident numbers large enough to compare in 2022 and 2023, 12 had a lower crimes against persons rate in 2023 (ranging from -1% in Lemon Grove to -12% in Solana Beach) and eight had a higher rate (ranging from <1% in National City and San Diego to 29% in Coronado) (Appendix Table 3).

Approximately
1 in 99 reported
being a victim of a
crime against
persons.

The most common type of crime against persons reported in 2023 was simple assault, accounting for over half (56%) of all incidents, followed by aggravated assault (29%), intimidation (7%), non-consensual sex offenses (5%), and kidnapping/abduction (2%) (Figure 3). Less than 1% of incidents were classiﬁed as murder, negligent manslaughter, justiﬁable homicide, consensual sex offenses, and human trafﬁcking offenses (not shown).

Variations in speciﬁc crime against persons types
• Despite being the most common type of reported crime against persons, simple assaults fell by 6% from the year prior (from 19,674 in 2022 to 18,549 in 2023) (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). This includes all assaults and attempted assaults which are not aggravated in nature and do not result in serious injury to the victim. Of the 18 jurisdictions with large enough numbers to compare in 2022 and 2023, 14 had decreases (ranging from - 2% in Lemon Grove to -19% in Chula Vista and Encinitas), and four had increases (ranging from 5% in La Mesa to 33% in Coronado) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B ). • Contrary to simple assaults, the 9,612 aggravated assaults reported during 2023 represented an increase of 7% from 2022 (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). Most jurisdictions experienced an increase; of the 17 comparable jurisdictions, 16 had increases (ranging from 2% in Carlsbad and El Cajon to 30% in Santee), and only one had a decrease (Oceanside -4%) (Appendix
Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).

While simple assaults
saw a 6% decline from
the prior year, total
aggravated assaults
rose 7%.
• The 2,374 reported acts of intimidation in 2023 showed a slight increase of 2% from 2022 (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). Of the 10 jurisdictions with large enough numbers for
comparison, ﬁve had decreases (ranging from -8% in El Cajon to -34% in Escondido), and ﬁve had increases (ranging from 7% in San Diego to 44% in National City) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).
• Murders in the region decreased 21% from 105 in 2022 to 83 in 2023 (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). Of the incidents in which a motive could be determined (to date), arguments were the most frequent motive (35%), followed by gang involvement (22%), domestic violence (15%), other not speciﬁed (15%), drugs (11%), and child abuse (2%).
8 Most frequently,
murders took place in
the victim’s residence
(33%) or on a street or
sidewalk (26%). Of the
murders with a known
weapon, the most
common weapon used
was a ﬁrearm (57%).

Most of the time, the
suspect was known to
the victim (61%).
• Compared to 2022, non-consensual sex offenses (including rape, sodomy, sexual assault with an object, and fondling) reported to law enforcement dropped by 9% to 1,6 29 incidents (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). Of the nine jurisdictions with large enough numbers for comparison, six had decreases (ranging from -6% in Escondido and National City to -15% in San Diego), and three had increases ranging from 4% in Chula Vista to 37% in El Cajon) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).
• Kidnapping and abduction incidents also decreased by 9% to 620 cases in 2023 (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). All four jurisdictions with large enough numbers for comparison had decreases (ranging from 5% in San Diego to 41% in Escondido) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).
• The number of consensual sex offenses (which includes incest and statutory rape) reported to law enforcement San Diego County in 2023 (77) showed a 5% increase from 2022 (73) (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1).
9 8 Jurisdictional numbers for comparison are available in Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B. Only the City of San Diego had 30 or more incidents in both comparison years. 9 Jurisdictional numbers for comparison are available in Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A and 12B.

Overall, the data reveal a general decline in crime against persons rates, with notable decreases in speciﬁc crime types such as simple assaults, non-consensual sex offenses, kidnappings, and murders. However, the increase in aggravated assaults (7%) may point to an area in need of additional focus and resources, especially as 16 of 17 comparable jurisdictions experienced an increase.

Crimes against property
Crimes against property include 25 offenses (robbery, 11 burglary, eight types of larceny theft offenses, motor vehicle theft, arson, vandalism/destruction of property, counterfeiting/forgery, seven types of fraud offenses, embezzlement, extorsion/blackmail, bribery, and stolen property). This category is the equivalent of UCR Summary’s Part I property crime category, which includes three types of offenses (burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft). 12
According to the 2022 National Crime Victimization Survey (still presenting UCR Summary crime categories), about one-third (32%) of all property crimes nationwide were reported to law enforcement, including 81% of motor vehicle thefts, 45% of burglaries, and 26% of other thefts.
13 10 Crimes against persons categories with less than 30 incidents in any of the comparison years are not shown (negligent manslaughter, justiﬁable homicide, human trafﬁcking- commercial sex acts, and human trafﬁcking- involuntary servitude).
11 It is important to note that robbery was categorized as a violent crime under UCR Summary Part I. 12 While this UCR Summary Part I property crime category is the equivalent of CIBRS/NIBRS’ crimes against property category, UCR Summary does not reﬂect all crimes against property. 13 Other thefts include other unlawful taking or attempted unlawful taking of property or cash without personal contact with the victim.

Overall decline in crimes against property
A total of 77,151 crimes against property incidents were reported to regional law enforcement (Appendix Tables 1 and 8), marking an 8% decrease from 2022 and a 9%
decrease from 2021. Crimes against property incidents
accounted for almost six in every 10 (58%) total crimes reported in 2023 (Figure 1 and Appendix Table 1).

Approximately
1 in 42 residents reported
being victims of a crime
against property in 2023.

The 2023 annual crimes against property rate of 23.75 per 1,000 residents was lower than in 2022 and 2021 (Figure 2 and Appendix Table 4). Of the 19 comparable jurisdictions with large enough numbers to compare, 17 experienced a decrease (ranging from -3% in El Cajon to -40% in Del Mar), and two an increase (2% in Santee and 17% in Coronado) (Appendix Table 4).

The three most common crime against property incidents reported were larcenies (41%), acts of vandalism/destruction of property (18%), and motor vehicle thefts (15%) (Figure 5). Of all crimes against property, arson, counterfeiting, embezzlement, extortion, and bribery collectively made up 2% (not shown).

Varying trends in speciﬁc crime against property types
• Despite being the most common crime—with one in every 102 residents reporting being a victim in 2023 (not shown)—the number of larcenies reported in 2023 (31,941) saw a 4% decrease from the year prior (33,155) (Figure 6, Appendix Table 1). Across the region, 15 jurisdictions saw decreases (ranging from -2% in El Cajon to -43% in Del Mar), and four saw increases (ranging from <1% in Chula Vista to 8% in Santee) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B). The most common larceny type reported in 2023 was “other” larceny (39%) (Table 1).
14 o It is important to note that in 2023, the San Diego region had a shoplifting increase of 25% from 2022 and 37% from 2021. Of the 15 comparable jurisdictions, 12 experienced increases (ranging from 1% in La Mesa to 67% in Chula Vista) and three experienced decreases (ranging from -4% in Vista to -19% in San Marcos) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).

14 “Other” larceny is deﬁned as all thefts which do not ﬁt any of the other larceny/theft or speciﬁc subcategories (e.g., thefts from fenced enclosures, boats/houseboats if used for recreational purposes, and airplanes).

• Robberies in the region decreased 8% to 2,432 in
2023 (Figure 6, Appendix Table 1). Of the 13
jurisdictions with robbery numbers large enough
for comparison in 2022 and 2023, eight had
decreases (ranging from -6% in San Diego to -34%
in Oceanside) and ﬁve had increases (ranging
from 2% in Carlsbad to 39% in Santee) (Appendix
Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).

Most jurisdictions (17 of 19)
experienced a decline in overall
crimes against property rates in
2023. However, shoplifting
incidents rose 25% from 2022, with
12 of 15 comparable jurisdictions
experiencing increases.
• Burglaries saw a stark decline of 15%, from 7,605 in 2022 to 6,446 in 2023 (Figure 6, Appendix Table 1). Of the 17 jurisdictions with burglary numbers large enough for comparison in 2022 and 2023, 13 experienced decreases (ranging from -3% in Oceanside to -43% in San Marcos) and four experienced increases (ranging from 1% in La Mesa to 42% in Solana Beach) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B). • Motor vehicle thefts decreased 1% to 11,916 in 2023 (Figure 6, Appendix Table 1). Of the 17 jurisdictions with numbers large enough for comparison in 2022 and 2023, 10 had decreases (ranging from -12% in El Cajon and Vista to -39% in Escondido), and seven had increases (ranging from 2% in San Diego to 161% in Coronado) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B). 15
• Arsons across the region were down 19% (344) from 2022 (Figure 6, Appendix Table 1). 16 • There were 14,235 destruction of property (vandalism) offenses reported in 2023, 4% lower than in 2022 (Figure 6, Appendix Table 1). Of the 18 comparable jurisdictions, 12 had decreases (ranging from -1% in Oceanside to -30% in Poway), and six had increases (ranging from 2% in Coronado to 21% in Santee) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).

15 According to Coronado Police Department, the stark increase is due to the Department of Justice requirement under NIBRS reporting (since September 2022) that all stolen E-bikes and E-scooters are to be reported as motor vehicle thefts.
16 Jurisdictional numbers for comparison are available in Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B. Only the city of San Diego and Unincorporated had 30 or more incidents in each of the comparison years.

• All other crimes against property categories were lower in 2023 compared to 2022. 21 This includes a decrease of 56% in extorsion/blackmail, 13% in counterfeiting/forgery, and 1% in embezzlement (Appendix Table 1). 22

17 Stolen property offense is deﬁned as buying, receiving, possessing, selling, concealing, or transporting any property with the knowledge that is has been unlawfully taken, as by burglary, embezzlement, fraud, larceny, robbery, etc.
18 The increase in stolen property offenses in La Mesa from 2022 to 2023 is due to charging multiple offenses for one incident under CIBRS/NIBRS reporting guidelines. Additionally, there was an increase in investigative efforts to identify victims and recover stolen property, regardless of where the original theft crime occurred. According to La Mesa Police department, stolen property offenses include found stolen property, possession of stolen property, and possession of stolen vehicle. 19 Fraud is deﬁned as the intentional perversion of the truth for the purpose of inducing another person or other entity in reliance upon it to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right. 20 According to Coronado Police Department, the increase in fraud offenses is due to banks requiring a police report from customers before adjusting and reimbursing fraudulent charges. 21 Crimes against property categories with less than 30 incidents in any of the comparison years are not shown (bribery, welfare fraud, wire fraud, and hacking/computer invasion). 22 Jurisdictional numbers for comparison are available in Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B.

Overall, while larceny remains the most prevalent crime against property, more severe crimes like robbery and burglary experienced notable declines. However, the notable increase in shoplifting highlights an area needing targeted intervention. Moreover, the variability in reported incidents across different jurisdictions underscores the need for localized and context-speciﬁc crime prevention strategies. Understanding these trends can help tailor future policies and programs to continue reducing crime against property and address speciﬁc areas of concern.

Crimes against society
Crimes against society include 12 crime offenses (drug/narcotic violations, drug equipment violations, four types of gambling offenses, pornography/obscene material, prostitution, 23 weapon law violations, and animal cruelty). It should be noted that there was no comparable UCR Summary Part I crime category.

The crimes against society rate of 7.27 per 1,000 residents was lower in 2023 than in the two years prior (7.48 and 9.07, respectively) (Figure 2 and Appendix Table 5). A total of 23,602 crimes against society incidents were reported to law
enforcement in 2023, marking a 3% decrease from 2022 and a 20% decrease from 2021 (Appendix Tables 1 and 9).

In 2023, crimes against
society accounted for
almost 1 in 5 (18%)
crimes committed in the
region.

Of the reported crimes against society incidents, 51% were drug/narcotic violations, 35% drug equipment violations, 12% weapon law violations, and 1% were offenses for pornography/obscene material and prostitution (cumulatively).

Of the 18 comparable jurisdictions in 2022 and 2023, 11 had a higher crime against society rate (ranging from <1% in Santee to 72% in Lemon Grove), 24 and seven had a lower crime against society rate (ranging from -9% in Poway to -32% in Encinitas) (Appendix Table 5).

Variations in speciﬁc crime against society types
• The 12,125 drug/narcotic violations reported in 2023 represented a decrease of 5% compared to 2022 (Figure 8, Appendix Table 1). For the 18 jurisdictions with drug/narcotic violations numbers large enough for comparison in 2022 and 2023, 10 had increases (ranging from 2% in San Diego to 74% in Lemon Grove), eight had decreases (ranging from -1% in Santee to -26% in Escondido) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B). • On the other hand, drug equipment violations (8,292) increased 2% compared to 2022 (Figure 8, Appendix Table 1). For the 18 jurisdictions with drug equipment violation numbers large enough for comparison in 2022 and 2023, nine had decreases (ranging from -1% in Carlsbad to -38% in Encinitas), and nine had increases (ranging from 3% in Santee and Solana Beach to 87% in Lemon Grove) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B). • The 2,898 weapon law violation offenses reported in 2023 was 9% lower than in 2022 (3,190) (Figure 8, Appendix Table 1). For the 14 jurisdictions with weapon law violations numbers large enough for comparison in 2022 and 2023, 10 had decreases (ranging from -1% in Vista to -27% in San Marcos), and four had increases (ranging from 1% in Carlsbad to 18% in La Mesa) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).
• Prostitution crime incidents (213) increased 20% from 2022 (Figure 8, Appendix Table 1). 25 There was one less incident of pornography/obscene materials (61) in 2023 compared to 2022 (-2%) (Appendix Table 1).

24 According to the San Diego Sheriff’s Department, the increased crimes against society rate and total incidents in Lemon Grove were mainly driven by an increase in recorded drug/narcotic and drug equipment violations. This increase resulted from a general rise in incidents, along with expanded law enforcement operations of trolley riders, including Sheriff’s deputies, transit ofﬁcers, and probation ofﬁcers checking for tickets. Transit violators that were found to be on probation or parole were searched for drugs, paraphernalia, and weapons.
25 The increase in prostitution crime incidents are due to large demand reduction operations that took place in 2023, including six “John” operations in National City and one in Escondido. A “John” sting operation focuses on catching individuals who are soliciting prostitutes to reduce the demand for sex trafﬁcking, arrest human trafﬁckers, and provide services to victims. Jurisdictional numbers for comparison are available in Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B.

Group B Offenses
Group B offenses include less serious crime categories such as curfew/loitering/vagrancy, disorderly conduct, driving under the inﬂuence (DUI), family offenses (nonviolent), liquor law violations, trespassing, and all other offenses. It is important to note that unlike Group A offenses, Group B offenses are only reported if an arrest is made. Therefore, Group B arrest reports only include circumstances of the arrest and arrestee data (e.g., age, gender, race and ethnicity).

In 2023, there were 21,320 Group B offenses in the San Diego region, marking a 4% increase from 2022 (20,466), and an 11% increase from 2021 (19,291) (Figure 9 and Appendix Table 13). In comparison to 2022, there were increases in curfew/loitering/vagrancy violations (1 7%), all other offenses (9%), 27 driving under the inﬂuence (3%), trespassing (3%), and decreases in disorderly conduct violations (-2%) and liquor law violations (-32%) (Appendix Table 13 and Figure 10). 28

Hate Crimes
As part of the California Penal Code (PC), the Attorney General is required to submit an annual report to the Legislature regarding crimes motivated by a victim’s race/ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, or physical or mental disability. According to the California PC, a hate crime is a criminal act committed in whole or in part because of the actual or perceived characteristics of the victim. Thus, hate crimes are not separate, distinct crimes, but rather traditional offenses speciﬁcally motivated by the offender’s bias.

Beginning in 2008, local law enforcement agencies began sharing hate crime reports that were submitted to the state with SANDAG, to allow for a more detailed analysis of these crimes in the San Diego region, which was not available in the state report. In 2023, a total of 133 hate crime events were reported by law enforcement across the region, which included a total of 151 victims and 111 known suspects (Figure 11).

Compared to 2022, the number of events increased by 39%. Hate crimes were reported by Police Departments in Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, El Cajon, Escondido, National City, Oceanside, and San Diego; the Sheriff’s Department (for the jurisdictions of Encinitas, Fallbrook, Lemon Grove, San Marcos, Solana Beach, Vista, and other unincorporated are as); the Harbor Police; California State University San Marcos, San Diego State University, and University of California San Diego (not shown).

Additional compiled hate crime information includes the following:
• Of the 144 documented offenses (there can be multiple offenses for one event), 65% were described as crimes against persons, which included 47 acts of intimidation, 28 simple assaults and 19 aggravated assaults. The rest of the hate crimes were crimes against property (35%) and included 45 incidents of destruction or damaging of property in some way (e.g., vandalism), three robberies, one burglary and one larceny theft. • Of the 133 events, 44% were motivated by race, ethnicity, or national origin; 31% by sexual orientation; 24% by religion; and 2% by disability.
o Of the 58 incidents related to the victim’s actual or perceived race/ethnicity/national origin, 52% of bias motivations were described as being anti-Black, 17% anti-other, 12% anti-Hispanic, 5% anti-Asian, 5% anti-multiple races, 5% anti-White, and 3% anti-Arab. • Of the 133 events where a victim description was available, the victim was an individual (or multiple individuals) in 79% of cases, 9% a religious organization, 8% a business, and 4% government. Seventy-one percent (71%) of the 119 victims whose gender was documented were male.

Crime reporting transition from UCR Summary to

CIBRS/NIBRS
Uniform Crime Reporting Summary Reporting System (UCR Summary) The Uniform Crime Reporting Summary Reporting System (UCR Summary) was used and maintained nationally by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) since the 19 30s. This crime reporting system collected data on eight index crimes and 21 types of arrests, 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 Summary would only count the rape offense (highest offense), since in this hierarchy system, only the most severe charge is recorded.

UCR Summary had two speciﬁc categories known as Part I (eight offenses) and Part II (21 offenses/arrests). Homicides and aggravated assaults were retroactively updated with new information, and occasionally, other crime types were also revised.

National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS)
The National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) is an incident-based reporting system that was ﬁrst created in the 1980s. In 2021, NIBRS became the national standard for law enforcement agencies to report crime cases to the U.S. Department of Justice. 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.

Crime in the San Diego Region 2021 through 2023 17
Under NIBRS, agencies now collect data on 52 different types of crime, which are referred to as Group A offenses, and 8 types of arrests, referred to as Group B offenses. Group A offenses include the more serious crimes (e.g., murder, rape, robbery, and burglary). Group B arrests include less serious crime categories (e.g., disorderly conduct, curfew/loitering/vagrancy, drunkenness, and trespassing). Also, under NIBRS, agencies can now report up to 10 offenses per incident, not just the highest charge within each incident.

To comply with the FBI mandated NIBRS reporting deadline of 2021, San Diego County law enforcement agencies began collaborating 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 the California state speciﬁc version of NIBRS which allows California law enforcement agencies to report their crime data directly to CAL DOJ. San Diego County law enforcement agencies received CIBRS certiﬁcation in 2022, one year after commencing their NIBRS data reporting efforts. Under CIBRS agencies report the same 52 types of Group A offenses, and 8 types of Group B offenses. It is important to note that unlike Group A offenses, Group B offenses are only reported if an arrest is made.

How do CIBRS and NIBRS differ?
The primary difference between CIBRS and NIBRS is that CIBRS is a California state speciﬁc 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 Summary?
In order to understand the differences between UCR Summary and CIBRS/NIBRS, Table 4 compares both crime reporting systems.

Table 4: Differences between UCR Summary and CIBRS/NIBRS

Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2024 2
Key disclaimers to note
This SANDAG Mid-Year Crime Bulletin utilizes California Incident Based Reporting System/National Incident Based Reporting System (CIBRS/NIBRS) crime data. The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) NIBRS became the standard for law enforcement crime reporting in the United States on January 1, 2021. CIBRS, California’s state-speciﬁc version of NIBRS, allows California law enforcement agencies to report their crime data directly to the California Department of Justice (CAL DOJ). San Diego County law enforcement agencies received CIBRS certiﬁcation in 2022, one year after commencing their NIBRS data effort.

The crime statistics shown here are not comparable to data prior to 2021 due to the reporting format of CIBRS/NIBRS. To access historical crime data for the San Diego region prior to 2021, from the Uniform Crime Reporting Summary Reporting System (UCR Summary) , please see the Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS) Crime Stats website or visit SANDAG’s Criminal Justice Clearinghouse. Data from this publication should not be compared to UCR Summary data from any other source as the offenses and/or crime cases are counted differently in different crime reporting systems. Data for this publication was extracted as a snapshot of all regional CIBRS crime counts in September of 2024. The information on these crime cases was extracted from the ARJIS Operational Storehouse and is subject to change as new information becomes available. To access more current data, please visit SANDAG’s Open Data Portal (ODP). For more information on NIBRS Offense Code deﬁnitions, visit the ODP’s CIBRS Offense Code Table.

Data derived directly from San Diego Police Department’s records management system may differ slightly from data available to SANDAG through ARJIS; therefore, aggregate data reported in this bulletin cannot offer a direct comparison to statistics originating from within San Diego Police Department. 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. As such, crime rates for mid-year 2021, and 2021 to 2024 mid-year comparison in the Appendix Tables are not presented for these agencies. Due to the small number of incidents these agencies had in 2023, and 2024 mid-year’s totals, these missing data do not have a signiﬁcant effect on regional totals and rates presented here.

Certain crime elements, such as type of burglary, type of motor vehicle theft, and cleared offenses, are not available in this report. However, we expect these data to be available in the next Crime in the San Diego Region publication, scheduled for Spring of 2025.

The CIBRS/NIBRS reporting system is a statistical tool designed to enhance the collection and analysis of crime data. It does not alter the deﬁnitions of crimes or cha rges as established in the penal code, nor does it impact the prosecution process. Instead, it provides more detailed and comprehensive data to aid in understanding crime trends and improving law enforcement strategies without inﬂuencing legal deﬁnitions or judicial outcomes. For more information regarding the CIBRS/NIBRS reporting system and the transition from the UCR Summary reporting system, please visit the Crime in the San Diego Region: 2021 Through 2023 annual crime data report in the SANDAG Open Data Portal.

Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2024 3
Introduction
SANDAG has compiled and reported regional crime
data for San Diego County since 1980 and remains
the only local source for regional statistics not
available at the national level. In 2023, this
publication transitioned to reporting California
Incident Based Reporting System (CIBRS)/National
Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) crime
data. The NIBRS crime reporting system was ﬁrst
created by the FBI in the 1980’s with a national
mandated reporting deadline of 2021. In 2016, San
Diego County law enforcement agencies began
collaborating with the Automated Regional Justice
Information System (ARJIS) to implement the new
system and improve the quality and breadth of
local crime data.

CIBRS is the California-speciﬁc version of NIBRS,
which collects additional data elements and allows
California law enforcement agencies to report their
crime data directly to the California Department of
Justice (CAL DOJ). San Diego County law
enforcement agencies received CIBRS certiﬁcation
in 2022, one year after commencing their NIBRS
data transition effort.

This 2024 Mid-Year Crime Bulletin presents Group
A and Group B CIBRS/NIBRS data for the ﬁrst six
months of 2021, 2023, and 2024, revealing
annualized crime rates per 1,000 residents along
with the actual number of crimes reported.
1 Historically, these reports have included
comparison data from the current year, the
previous year, and ﬁve years prior. Since
CIBRS/NIBRS data became available in 2021, this
report uses one-year and three-year comparisons
instead, thus excluding data from 2022.

This CIBRS/NIBRS data collection effort, extraction,
and validation was supported by ARJIS staff and
ARJIS member agencies.
2 Their support and
cooperation is gratefully acknowledged.

1 2023 population estimates were used for this report. The populations used to calculate rates are provided in Appendix Table 17.
2 Coronado Police Department and local universities’ police departments provided CIBRS data separately.
3 The annualized mid-year crime rate per 1,000 residents is calculated by doubling the number of crimes reported between January and June, then dividing this total by the population (in thousands).

Highlights
• The annualized3 crimes against
persons mid-year rate of 9.50 was
1% lower than in 2023, reflecting
fewer murders (-23%), consensual
sex offenses (-20%), non-consensual
sex offenses (-12%) including rapes
(-18%), and simple assaults (-3%).

There were increases in
kidnappings (12%), aggravated
assaults (3%), and intimidation
offenses (2%).
• The annualized crimes against
property rate of 21.92 was 7% lower
than in 2023. There were decreases
for almost all categories, including
burglaries and motor vehicle thefts
(-15% each respectively), and
larceny thefts (-1%). The only
category with an increase was
robberies (<1%).
• The annualized crimes against
society rate of 7.43 was 4% higher
than in 2023, reflecting an increase
in prostitution incidents (15%),
drug equipment violations (13%),
and drug/narcotic violations (<1%).

Weapon law violations showed a
decrease (-5%).
• Group B offenses/arrests
(composed of less serious crime
categories) increased by 5% from
mid-year 2023 to 2024.
• The number of reported hate
crime events increased 33% from
mid-year 2023 to 2024.

Group A Offenses
Overall crime
During the ﬁrst six months of 2024 (from January 1 to June 30), there were 63,938 CIBRS/NIBRS Group A offenses reported to law enforcement in the San Diego region, 4 reﬂecting a 4% decrease from 2023 (66,532) and a 14% decrease from 2021 (74,180) (Appendix Table 1).5 Crimes against property accounted for more than half (56%) of reported incidents, followed by crimes against persons (24%), and crimes against society (19%) (Figure 1).

The 2024 mid-year annualized crime rate for Group A offenses in the region was 38.86 crimes per 1,000 residents (Appendix Table 2). Compared to mid-year 2023, crimes against property experienced the largest percent change in annualized rates (down 7%), while crimes against society showed the only increase (4%) (Figure 2). Despite this recent rise, crimes against society have decreased by the largest margin over the past three years, down 24% from 2021.

Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2024 5
Crimes against persons
Crimes against persons include the following 15 offenses: murder, negligent manslaughter, justiﬁable homicide, rape, sodomy, sexual assault with an object, fondling, aggravated assault, simple assault, intimidation, kidnapping/abduction, incest, statutory rape, human trafﬁcking-commercial sex acts, and human trafﬁcking-involuntary servitude. According to CIBRS/NIBRS, 15,637 crimes against persons incidents were reported to local law enforcement agencies in the region during the ﬁrst six months of 2024, marking decreases from 2023 (-1%) and 2021 (-3%) (Appendix Tables 1 and 7).

Crimes against persons incidents accounted for almost one in every four (24%) total crimes reported in 2024 (Figure 1, Appendix Table 1). However, there was variability in crime trends across different jurisdictions. Of 16 jurisdictions with incident numbers large enough to compare in 2023 and 2024, 9 had a higher annualized crimes against persons rate in 2024 (ranging from 2% in El Cajon to 40% in Encinitas) and 7 had a lower rate (ranging from -2% in San Diego to -23% in Lemon Grove) (Appendix Table 3).

The most common type of crime against persons reported during the ﬁrst six months of 2024 was simple assault, accounting for over half (56%) of all incidents, followed by aggravated assault (30%) (Figure 3). Less than 1% of incidents were classiﬁed as murder, negligent manslaughter, justiﬁable homicide, consensual sex offenses, and human trafﬁcking offenses (not shown in ﬁgure).

Variations in speciﬁc crimes against persons types
Comparing mid-year 2023 to mid-year 2024, murders decreased 23%, from 47 to 36 incidents (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). Of the 17 incidents for which a motive could be determined (as of the data publication date), the most frequent motives were arguments (47%), followed by gang involvement (29%), domestic violence (12%), and drugs and robbery (6% each).

Additional ﬁndings include:
o Most frequently, murders took place in the victim’s residence (39%) or street/sidewalk (32%).
o Of the murders with a known weapon, the most common was a ﬁrearm (57%). o The suspect was not known by the victim in 13 of 22 incidents (59%). 56% 30% 7% 5% 2%

Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2024 6

• Aggravated assaults reported at mid-year 2024 represented an increase of 3% from mid- year 2023 (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). Of 15 comparable jurisdictions, 9 had increases (ranging from 9% in Chula Vista to 116% in Imperial Beach), and 6 had decreases (ranging from <-1% in San Diego to -19% in Lemon Grove) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B). o Over two-ﬁfths (41%) of aggravated assaults involved the use of a personal weapon (hands, ﬁst, feet, arms, teeth, etc.), 23% an “other” weapon (brick, chemical weapon, explosives, open ﬂame, poison, vehicle), 16% a knife/cutting instrument (knives, razors, hatchets, axes, cleavers, scissors, glass, broken bottles, ice picks, etc.), 13% a blunt object (baseball bats, butt of handgun, clubs, bricks, jack handles, tire irons, bottles, etc.), and 8% involved a ﬁrearm (Table 1).6 o Aggravated assaults that involved the use of a personal weapon showed the highest increase from the year prior (6%) compared to other types of assault (Table 1). Aggravated assaults involving ﬁrearms showed the largest decrease (-13%).

• Despite being the most common type of crime against
persons reported at mid-year 2024, simple assaults fell by 3% from mid-year 2023 (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). This includes attempted assaults which are not aggravated in nature and do not result in serious injury to the victim. Of 16 jurisdictions with large enough numbers to compare in 2023 and 2024, 10 had increases (ranging from 5% in El Cajon to 67% in
Encinitas), and 6 had decreases (ranging from -2% in San Diego to -30% in La Mesa) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).

While simple assaults
saw a 3% decline from
the prior year,
aggravated assaults
rose 3%
• The 1,163 reported acts of intimidation at mid-year 2024 represents a slight increase of 2% from the year prior (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). Of nine jurisdictions with large enough numbers for comparison, six had increases (ranging from 8% in El Cajon to 50% in Escondido), and three had decreases (ranging from -7% in San Diego to -28% in La Mesa) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).

6 Types of weapon/force involved are counted at the incident level, not by the total number of charges or victims. An incident with a known weapon could involve anywhere from one to ﬁve weapons. For this reason, the total count of aggravated assaults may not match the total count of weapons/force used.

• Kidnapping and abduction incidents reported at mid-year 2024 increased by 12% from the year prior, to 340 incidents (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). The two jurisdictions with large enough numbers for comparison had increases (17% in San Diego and 41% in Chula Vista) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).
• Non-consensual sex offenses (including rape, sodomy, sexual assault with an object, and fondling) dropped 12% from mid-year 2023, down to 709 incidents at mid-year 2024 (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). Of four jurisdictions with large enough numbers for comparison, three had decreases (ranging from -5% in El Cajon to -33% in Chula Vista), and one had an increase (24% in Escondido) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B). o Three of the four crime categories under non-consensual sex offenses showed a decrease from the previous year: rape (-18%), sexual assaults with an object (-13%), and fondling (-11%). The number of sodomy incidents remained unchanged in both years (Appendix Table 1).
• The number of consensual sex offenses (which includes incest and statutory rape) at mid-year 2024 showed a decrease of 20% from 2023 (Figure 4, Appendix Table 1). 7 Figure 3: Crimes against persons percentage change from mid-year 2023 to 20248

Crime in the San Diego Region Mid-Year 2024 8
A total of 36,071 crimes against property incidents were reported to regional law enforcement during the ﬁrst six months of 2024 (Appendix Tables 1 and 8), marking a 7% decrease from 2023 and a 14% decrease from 2021. Crimes against property incidents accounted for almost three in every ﬁve (56%) total crimes reported in 2024 (Figure 1, Appendix Table 1).

Around 3 in 5 crime
incidents reported to
law enforcement were a
crime against property
The annualized mid-year 2024 crimes against property rate of 21.92 per 1,000 residents was lower than in 2021 and 2023 (Figure 2, Appendix Table 4). Of the 18 jurisdictions with large enough numbers to compare, 16 saw a decrease (ranging from -2% in Oceanside to -33% in Del Mar), and 2 had an increase (7% in El Cajon and 13% in San Marcos) (Appendix Table 4).

The three most common crimes against property incidents reported were larcenies (44%), acts of vandalism/destruction of property (19%), and motor vehicle thefts (14%) (Figure 5). Of all crimes against property, arson, counterfeiting/forgery, embezzlement, extortion/blackmail, and bribery collectively made up 2% (not shown).

Varying trends in speciﬁc crime against property types
• Robberies in the region increased <1% to 1,188 at mid-year 2024 (Figure 6, Appendix Table 1). Of the seven jurisdictions with robbery numbers large enough for comparison in 2023 and 2024, ﬁve had increases (ranging from 10% in Vista to 53% in Oceanside), 9 one had a decrease (-5% in San Diego), and one remained the same (National City) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).
o More than half (55%) of robberies involved a personal weapon, 16% an “other” weapon, 13% a ﬁrearm, 11% a knife/cutting instrument, and 4% a blunt object (Table 2).

9 According to the Oceanside Police Department, the increase in robberies from mid-year 2023 to mid- year 2024 is due to an unusually low number of reported robberies in 2023 (28% less than their 4-year average). Further investigation attributed this to a notable decrease in reported retail thefts that escalated to robberies (i.e., thefts in which suspects used “force or fear” during the act). In contrast, retail thefts that escalated to robberies in 2024 have accounted for more than one in three robbery cases, which is in line with the 4-year average of 35%.

Of the 12 jurisdictions with burglary numbers large enough for comparison in 2023 and 2024, 9 experienced decreases (ranging from -2% in Escondido to -43% in Vista) and 3 experienced increases (ranging from 12% in Carlsbad to 60% in San Marcos) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B). • Motor vehicle thefts also decreased 15% to 4,994 at mid-year 2024 (Figure 6, Appendix Table 1). Of 14 comparable jurisdictions, 13 had decreases (ranging from -1% in National City to -43% in Imperial Beach), and 1 remained the same (Coronado). It is worth noting that no jurisdictions experienced increases (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B). • Arsons at mid-year 2024 were down 3%, from 153 in 2023 to 148 in 2024 (Figure 6, Appendix Table 1). 11
• There were 6,899 destruction of property (vandalism) offenses reported at mid-year 2024, 3% lower than in 2023 (Figure 6, Appendix Table 1). Of 15 comparable jurisdictions, 8 had decreases (ranging from -3% in Chula Vista and San Diego to -27% in Vista), 6 had increases (ranging from 5% in Encinitas to 42% in San Marcos), and 1 jurisdiction remained the same (Coronado) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B). • Stolen property offenses at mid-year 2024 saw a 22% decrease from mid-year 2023, from 967 to 756 reported incidents (Figure 6, Appendix Table 1). 12 Of six comparable jurisdictions, four had decreases (ranging from -18% in San Diego to -36% in Oceanside), and two had increases (4% in Chula Vista and 36% in El Cajon) (Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B).

10 Types of weapon/force involved are counted at the incident level, not by the total number of charges or victims. An incident with a known weapon could involve anywhere from one to ﬁve weapons. For this reason, total counts of robberies may not match the total counts of weapons/force used. 11 Jurisdictional numbers for comparison are available in Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B. Only the city of San Diego had 30 or more incidents in each of the comparison years. 12 A stolen property offense is deﬁned as buying, receiving, possessing, selling, concealing, or transporting any property with the knowledge that it has been unlawfully taken, as by burglary, embezzlement, fraud, larceny, robbery, etc.

20 Drug equipment violations involve the unlawful manufacture, sale, purchase, possession, or transportation of equipment or devices used in the preparation or consumption of drugs or narcotics. 21 Oceanside Police Department staff reviewed records to identify the reason(s) behind the increase in weapon violation offenses. The review found no signiﬁcant rise in offenses committed with a weapon; however, there was an increase in weapons discovered during searches incident to arrests for other offenses.
22 Jurisdictional numbers for comparison are available in Appendix Tables 11A, 11B, 12A, 12B. Only the city of San Diego had 30 or more prostitution incidents in each of the comparison years. According to the National City Police Department, the increase in prostitution incidents in National City (from 21 in 2023 to 51 in 2024) is due to large demand reduction operations (e.g., “John” operations). 23 Crimes against society categories with less than 30 incidents in any of the comparison years are not shown (animal cruelty and all gambling offenses).

Group A Offense Categories Summary
During the ﬁrst six months of 2024, the majority of Group A offense categories (with large enough numbers for comparison) decreased in comparison with 2023 (Table 5). All crimes against property categories except robbery decreased from the previous year. On the contrary, all crimes against society categories increased except for weapon law violations .

Table 5: Decreases and increases of Group A offense categories at mid-year from 2023 to 2024
Sources: SANDAG; ARJIS
Group B Offenses
Group B offenses include less serious crime categories, such as curfew/loitering/vagrancy, disorderly conduct, driving under the inﬂuence (DUI), family offenses (nonviolent), liquor law violations, trespassing, and all other offenses. It is important to note that unlike Group A offenses, Group B offenses are only reported if an arrest is made. Therefore, Group B arrest reports only include circumstances of the arrest and arrestee data (e.g., age, gender, race and ethnicity).

During the ﬁrst six months of 2024, there were 10,723 Group B offenses24 in the San Diego region, marking a 5% increase from mid-year 2023 (10,220), and a 20% increase from mid-year 2021 (8,950) (Figure 9, Appendix Table 13). Of 16 comparable jurisdictions in 2023 and 2024, 10 had a higher number of total Group B offenses (ranging from 5% in Escondido to 29% in Carlsbad), and 6 had a lower number (ranging from -1% in Encinitas to -45% in Coronado) (Appendix Tables 15A, 15B, 16A, 16B).

24 Disorderly conduct and DUI offenses from Carlsbad Police Department’s records management system may differ slightly from data available to SANDAG through ARJIS. Therefore, caution should be taken when comparing these ﬁgures.

Hate Crimes
As part of the California Penal Code (PC), the Attorney General is required to submit an annual report to the Legislature regarding crimes motivated by a victim’s race/ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, or physical or mental disability. According to the California PC, a hate crime is a criminal act committed in whole or in part because of the actual or perceived characteristics of the victim. Thus, hate crimes are not separate, distinct crimes, but rather traditional offenses speciﬁcally motivated by the offender’s bias.

Beginning in 2008, local law enforcement agencies began sharing hate crime reports that were submitted to the state with SANDAG, allowing for a more detailed analysis of these crimes in the San Diego region, which was not available in the CAL DOJ report.

In the ﬁrst six months of 2024, a total of 60 hate crime events were reported by law enforcement across the region, which included a total of 75 victims and 59 known suspects (Figure 11). Compared to mid-year 2023 and 2021, the number of events increased by 33% and 25%, respectively. In 2024, hate crimes were reported by Police Departments in Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, El Cajon, Escondido, National City, Oceanside, and San Diego; the Sheriff’s Department (for the jurisdictions of Encinitas, Santee, Vista, and other unincorporated areas); the Harbor Police; California State University San Marcos, and San Diego State University.
