CUP No. 2025-17 – Unsung Brewing Company (2590 S. Redhill Avenue, Unit C) September 22, 2025 Page 5 5 2 8 6 Police Department Analysis The Police Department has reviewed this request and has no concerns, as the operational standards applicable to an ABC license and the proposed conditions of approval will mitigate any potential impacts to the surrounding community. The Police Department reviews such applications for the sale and service of alcoholic beverages in order to ensure that the potential crime and nuisance behaviors associated with alcohol consumption are mitigated to the greatest extent possible. The Police Department analyzes the crime rate in the area using the standards and definitions contained in the Business and Professions Code Section 23948.4(c)(2), which are also utilized by ABC. This section defines “reported crimes” as criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft, combined with all arrests for other crimes, both felonies and misdemeanors, except traffic citations. The Police Department then compares the number of such crimes in the reporting district as compared to the number of crimes in other reporting districts. In keeping with the standard used by ABC and the Business and Professions Code, should the Police Department determine that the reporting district has a 20 percent greater number of reported crimes than the average number found in all reporting districts, the Police Department will consider this information in making its recommendation. Between the one-year period from August 22, 2024 to August 22, 2025, there have been a total of 139 calls for service within 500 feet of the subject site, of which, 28 have resulted in reports ranging from domestic violence, child/spouse abuse, battery, and petty theft. Based on its review, the Police Department is satisfied with applicable operational standards and proposed conditions and does not object to the granting of the CUP.
