Part 1 Crime Year in Review:

 Public Safety 2007 in Review
Director of Public Safety Coordination Brian Villalobos

In 2007, the City of Duarte reported a 4% decrease in Part 1crimes from 2006. Although the crime drop may seem small, the highest decrease reported by Duarte residents was in violent crimes or crimes against persons. 

Violent Crimes include assaults, which dropped approximately 30% compared to 2006 and is the lowest number ever recorded in the City of Duarte. Only five years ago, 78 assaults were recorded (2001). Robbery (or taking property by force) was down 34% since 2006.

Property crime has shown a different pattern in our City. Vehicle burglaries in 2007 totaled 97, demonstrating a 23 % decrease from 119 in 2006. However, the months of November and December 2007 showed indications of an increase in vehicle burglaries. This trend goes hand in hand with the Holidays, as thieves look for a quick way to make a buck. The majority of vehicle burglaries occur when burglars enter an unlocked, or open door, or window. Auto thefts were also down in 2007. Eighty-five vehicles were reported stolen, a 7% decrease from 2006 91 stolen vehicles. 

Residential Burglaries increased dramatically in 2007, from the 2006 all time low of 25 to 48 in 2007. This increase was felt all along the Foothill cities. With the help of Neighborhood Watch a serial burglar was arrested and this individual faces 7 years 10 months behind bars. Neighborhood Watch in Duarte is an essential part of law enforcement. Thank you Neighborhood Watch Volunteers!

In the month of December, one murder took place in the City, and in and around that time there was an increase in gang violence in the Monrovia-Duarte Area. In the month of January a special task force was implemented to combat the recent flare of gang violence. The team is made up of members of the L.A. District Attorney’s Office, federal agencies, police departments from surrounding cities, 37 Sheriff’s deputies from Temple Station, Operation Safe Street deputies, four homicide teams, a dedicated sergeant and detective, and 17 officers from the Monrovia Police Department including their supervisor, as well as 17 California Highway Patrol officers. The effort has so far resulted in 169 arrests, 44 searches, 31 parole searches, 23 firearms recovered and 422 interview reports.

The safety of Duarte’s residents is of utmost importance to the Duarte Public Safety Department, LA County Sheriff Department, and the City of Duarte’s elected officials. Although many plans can take effect, it is the residents in the community who must take a stand and get involved in their community to make any plan work. We all want and deserve a safe neighborhood. Get involved! Stay informed! Take a Stand Against Violence!
