4-9-2024_Staff-ReportITEM NO. 8.A. Mission Statement “We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.” CITY OF ROHNERT PARK CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Meeting Date: April 9th, 2024 Department: Public Safety Submitted By: Tim Mattos, Director of Public Safety Prepared By: Tim Mattos, Director of Public Safety Agenda Title: Acceptance of Part I and II Crimes Public Safety Report for the Year of 2023 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends Council acknowledge receipt of the 2023 Crime Report from the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety, attached hereto and incorporated herein as “Attachment 1.” BACKGROUND: This report has previously been submitted pursuant to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, the standardized statistical reporting standard that had been in place since 1930. In 2021, the FBI transitioned from UCR to the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS). This new standard requires more detailed data and provides a more complete and accurate picture of crime incidents. The primary difference between the two programs is that under UCR, only the most serious offense in each incident was reported; under NIBRS, all offenses are counted. This may cause the appearance of an increase in crime, but is only due to increased reporting. This crime data is submitted to the DOJ and published annually. The FBI's Crime Data Explorer tool (https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/) and the California DOJ’s OpenJustice tool (https://openjustice.doj.ca.gov/) provide interactive search capability, enabling law enforcement and the general public to easily access this important information. ANALYSIS: The UCR Program divided offenses into two groups: Part I and Part II. Part I offenses include violent crimes (homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault) and property crimes (burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, arson). Part II offenses include a variety of other violations, including but not limited to simple assaults, forgery, fraud, embezzlement, vandalism, weapons, prostitution, statutory rape, drug abuse, gambling, and driving under the influence. The NIBRS Program divides offenses into two groups: Group A and Group B. Group A: Arson Assault Bribery Burglary Counterfeiting/Forgery Destruction/Damage/Vandalism of Property Drug/Narcotic Offenses Embezzlement Extortion/Blackmail Fraud Gambling Offenses Homicide Kidnapping/Abduction Larceny/Theft Motor Vehicle Theft Pornography/Obscene Material Prostitution Robbery Sex Offenses Weapons Offenses Group B: Bad Checks Curfew/Loitering/Vagrancy Violations Disorderly Conduct Driving Under the Influence Drunkenness Family Offenses, Nonviolent Liquor Law Violations Trespassing All Other RPDPS transitioned to NIBRS in May of 2022. Attachment 1 reflects the NIBRS data from May 2022 through December 2022, and May 2023 through December 2023 for comparison purposes. Next year’s report will provide our first full year over year statistical comparison of NIBRS data. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: Acceptance of this report will have no environmental impact. STRATEGIC PLAN AND COUNCIL PRIORITIES ALIGNMENT: This report aligns with the following goals of the City’s Strategic Plan: • Goal C, Ensure the effective delivery of public services. Collecting and reporting reliable data for use in law enforcement administration, operation, and management contributes to the Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety’s delivery of effective public services. • Goal D, Continue to develop a vibrant community.
