4. The data used was that which was publically available through the UCR data.SAPD, like every other police <br /> department, submits data to the FBI,which then undergoes data validation and goes through algorithms. <br /> Anaheim and Long Beach, both have populations over 250,000, which is the threshold for cities in Population <br /> Group I by the FBI. The comparison data is the maximum start and end data available through the FBI portal. <br /> This data source was selected so that the public and press could independently duplicate the results. <br /> 5. Long Beach has had 22 homicides so far this year.This was confirmed today, 09/06/2016. <br /> 6. In 2009, crime count was higher than it is today.This illustrates a nationwide reduction in crime and emphasizes <br /> the importance of UCR data to provide a standardized and accepted method of comparison. <br /> 7. No such report exists on Orange County.The document that was cited is a report on "Most Dangerous Cities in <br /> California".As far as we can gather the information from the California Report was synthesized into Orange <br /> County specific data. What is neglected is that this is an independent rating and the methodology of 14 various <br /> data sources. When comparing violent crime,Santa Ana's total violent crime is lower than Anaheim. Moreover, <br /> Santa Ana is specifically cited as a counter example to Anaheim. "... in Anaheim both violent crime and property <br /> crime rose after their law enforcement personnel were reduced by close to 8 percent. In Santa Ana,violent <br /> crime plunged by 24 percent after a modest reduction of 4 percent in their police staff." <br /> 8. There is no such quote on the referenced website.The comparison on the site lists all cities in the Country, <br /> including cities in Orange County such as Rancho Santa Margarita and Aliso Viejo (neither have their own PD). <br /> Therefore the number reference is an unfair representation. Even so, Santa Ana is listed as safer that the State <br /> average. <br /> This email and any files or attachments transmitted with it may contain privileged or otherwise confidential <br /> information.
