Crime Report
Council Report September & October 2024
Mayor Martinez, Council and Community,
The attached documents provide the statistical data related to crime for September and October 2024. In addition to the crime statistics, you will also find statistical information related to our use of the FLOCK camera system as well as data related to our Shotspotter gun detection system. This information includes the number of cases in which the License Plate Reader (LPR) cameras have assisted over the past year and the gun shot detection over the past two months. It should be noted that not all areas of the city have Shotspotter technology so the information captured is relative to the locations of the equipment.
In the attached documents you will see that sexual assaults increased over the past two months. Several arrests were made in connection to some of the sexual assaults and there does NOT appear to be a pattern indicative of a serial rapist. There was a slight decrease in property crimes with one less property crime report in October. Officers recovered 44 firearms over the past two months and handled nearly 50 driving under the influence arrests.
Additionally, I would like to highlight a few significant cases that occurred over the past two months.
Fatal Collision - Dispatch received an automated traffic collision alert form a stolen Infinity. Officers arrived and located the vehicle and two Hispanic females had been ejected from the vehicle. The vehicle was reported stolen out of San Pablo.
Assessment of the scene determined the driver was traveling N/B on Canal at a high rate of speed and failed to maneuvere the right hand turn in the road causing the vehicle to collide with a tree. Witnesses reported two males running from the scene. A 15-year-old was pronounced deceased at the scene and the other 11-year-old female was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The two male subjects were identified and the case is pending.
Sexual Assault - The victim was waiting at the bus stop when she noticed the suspect masturbating next to her. She confronted the suspect and asked him to stop. The suspect became angry and grabbed the victim by her hair and her shirt collar. The suspect began to drag to victim and forced her into an alley where he sexually assaulted her. Officers were able to identify the suspect and a search was served at his residence. Detetcives were also able to confirm that the Suspect was involved in multiple indecent exposure incidents in the general area of his residence. He was arrested and charged by the District Attorney.
Stolen Vehicle/Chop Shop - While conducting a routine security check in Crescent Park, a stolen vehicle was located which had been stripped. Officers were able to conduct surveillance and when the suspects returned they were arrested. Officers located a large amount of vehicle parts in the rear yard of a residence on Hartnett Avenue. A search warrant was obtained for the residence and an AR15 rifle was located.
Firearm Arrest - Officers responded to a solo vehicle collision at the dead end of Canal. A witness reported the occupants removed a long silver object from the vehicle and they were fleeing in a black Infinity. Officers located the black infinity at the dead end of Canal and saw open containers of alcohol and marijuana in plain view. One suspect fled on foot and was taken into custody. A firearm was located in his waistband. The second suspect admitted he was the driver of the vehicle involved in the solo-vehicle collision and was cited at the scene.
Wire Theft - Officers responded to a report of wire theft. The suspect fled the scene with large wire cutters over his shoulder on a bike. The suspect saw the officers in the area and discarded the wire cutters. The suspect continued to flee on his bike and then discarded his bike and fled on foot. The suspect attempted to jump over a fence but officers were able to take him into custody. Suspect is a repeat offender.
Firearm Arrest - Officers were flagged down regarding a brandishing of a firearm and the suspect vehicle was in the area. Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the suspect vehicle. The vehicle initially stopped, but fled as officers exited their vehicle.
The driver was involved in a collision and fled on foot. Officers were able to chase and arrest the suspect who had discarded two loaded magazines along with two discarded firearms. The suspect is a convicted felon.
Additional statistical data can be found on our website - richmondpd.net Police Department personnel participated in many community events to include; • Faith and Blue - a Nation wide initiate that brings together law enforcement and our faith-based community. We participated in three days of activities starting with a blessing of the badges by our Police Chaplains. The second day was a day of service where we partnered with the Rescue Mission to prepare breakfast and lunch as well as food bags which were delivered to recently housed families.
The final day was spent a Hilltop Community Church for Sunday service. • Cops and Goblins - We hosted over 600 community members at our department for a haunted house. After traversing the haunted house, community members were provided with a hot dog lunch, a petting zoo, arts and crafts, a jumpy house and lots of other fun activities.
• Chat with the Chief @ The Latina Center - Chief French and department staff members answered community members questions at the Latina Center. • El Sobrante Pride - Our LGBTQ liaison as well as other officers and staff members participated in the El Sobrante Pride event (in the City of Richmond). • Multi Agency Traffic Enforcement Operation - Officers from nearby agencies assisted with a traffic operation focused on primary collision factors. Eighty-nine (89) traffic citations were issued.
• Coffee with a Cop was held at Toco Tea on Valley View. There was a large turnout where officers were able to answer community members questions and enjoy boba tea and other drinks with De Anza High School students. • Hispanic Heritage Parade - This event was scheduled after the Cinco de Mayo Parade was cancelled due to inclement weather. The new date was such a success that it will become a yearly event.
• Breast Cancer Walk with Kaiser - PD staff joined Kaiser staff in a walk against breast cancer.
• Community Police Academy - After a four-year hiatus, we were able to bring back the Community Police Academy. This is an 8-week course which teaches community members about the operations of the police department.
In Service,
Bisa French
