This is the <br /> reason to evaluate the 3 years wherein Chief Rojas acted as Police Chief for the entire calendar year. In 2013, the <br /> Violent Crimes was the lowest of any year in the REFERENCE REPORT 1. <br /> His memo uses one portion of the FBI Crime index.The index in comprised of two parts, count of Part I incidents and the <br /> population. Separating these two numbers removes the standardization that is the foundation of the FBI model. <br /> Therefore, we believe that the information reported and validated by the FBI is a standardized model of the crime in <br /> Santa Ana over time. <br /> RE City Manager Presentation, Santa Ana Police Department, like every other police jurisdiction, submits data to the <br /> FBI, which then undergoes data validation and goes through algorithms.The comparison data that was used for the <br /> cities comparison Chart with Anaheim and Long Beach was gathered through the FBI UCR data portal.This data source <br /> was selected so that the public and the press could independently duplicate the results. <br /> The cities of Anaheim and Long Beach were utilized as a basis to compare agencies of similar dynamics to Santa Ana and <br /> larger in population. No two cities are the same, however by comparing UCR index data assists in standardizing the <br /> results. <br /> Note, we reached out today to Long Beach Police Department, and they have had 22 homicides this year, not the 15 <br /> reported by Mr. Serrano. <br /> We look forward to the discussion this evening. <br /> City of Santa Ana <br /> 20 Civic Center Plaza, M31/Santa Ana,CA 92701 <br /> From: Huizar, Maria <br /> Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2016 12:33 PM 3 <br /> a <br />
