Monthly Crime Stats - November 2022 and October 2022 (Revised)

Details: Written by: Karen Ivy; Parent Category: Resources; Published: 06 December 2022; Created: 06 December 2022; Last Updated: 06 December 2022

The monthly crime statistics for beats 12Y and 13X, covering November 2022 and October 2022 (revised 12/5/22), are now available on http://rockridgencpc.com, under Resources > Crime Stats and Maps > Rockridge Crime Trends 2021-2022. Here’s a direct link to the page:

Crime Stats October 2022 (revised) https://tinyurl.com/2n5zyt2o

Crime Stats November 2022 https://tinyurl.com/3feju5n6

The November report, a first report, includes more crimes than we’ve recently seen – 69 incidents, 53 in beat 12Y and 16 in beat 13X. There were 12 crimes against the person in 12Y, a high for 2022. Three of those incidents, plus 2 other related weapons charges, all took place at the same time on November 20 – see the report of Incident with Multiple Charges. Property crimes, and auto-related property crimes, were there as usual – see the report header for details. I am suspicious of the fact that 13X had no reports of quality of life crimes in November – which means no vandalism. I’ll be interested to see what the January download shows.

The revised October report shows the usual increases – and one decrease. The original October download showed 2 crimes against the person in 13X; the revised download had only one. I checked, and the missing report was at the North Oakland Regional Sports Center, which is in beat 13Y. The original October report showed a total of 44 incidents – the December download shows 77, 60 in beat 12Y and 17 in 13X. As usual, both types of property crimes increased considerably in both beats – see the report header for details. There was no change in the incidents with multiple charges between the 2 reports. We always upload both original and revised reports to our web site, so if you want to compare, you can open both of them up.

Monthly Crime Stats - September 2022 (revised) and October 2022

Crime Stats September 2022 (revised) https://tinyurl.com/ywj7zswy

Crime Stats October 2022 https://tinyurl.com/3r9xwtzh

The October report, being the first download, shows many fewer crimes than we’ll see next month. I really don’t believe that there were no reports of vandalism (quality of life) in 13X during October but that’s what the numbers say. The total for both beats in October was 44 reported crimes. Read the header for all the numbers; the largest number of reports was in property crimes (auto related), 19 in 12Y and 5 in 13X. All other categories had 5 or fewer reports. October did have 2 incidents with multiple charges: one was a combination of criminal threats with intent to terrorize (crimes against the person) and exhibiting a deadly weapon (not a firearm), which classifies as other because it was just exhibited, no one was shot. The other was a combination of burglary (forcible entry) and vandalism.

The revised September report is much larger. The original September report had a total of 48 reports for 12Y and 12 for 13X (total for both, 60), all categories had 10-15 reports or less. The revised September report had 87 reports in 12Y and 17 in 13X, a total for both beats of 104 reports. Read the header for all the numbers. Both categories of property crimes had around 20-21 reports in 12Y and 5-6 reports in 13X. The big category was quality of life (vandalism) with 31 reports in 12Y (6 reports in 13X). There were no incidents with multiple charges in either September report.

If you live in 13X, you may have noticed that the original September report showed one homicide in that beat, and the revised September report didn’t. I followed that up. The incident was on Oakwood Drive, which is in beat 13Z, not 13X. Someone in the intervening month identified the error and corrected the report in the database.
