CivicScout counts San Diego Police Department offense reports that carry a map location inside the Mission Valley West police-neighborhood outline. Citywide, about 3% of offense reports, and about the same share of reports of serious violent crime (about 1 in 8 rape reports), carries no map location and is not counted, and the newest weeks are still being filled in as reports are approved, so the counts understate crime, violent crime included, and cannot show that an area has little of it. Sex offenses are shown at block level, about 100 meters, without a case number. The department’s own process entries (mental-health holds, warrants, probation and parole lines, citations and infractions) are not counted. Incidents handled by other police agencies do not appear: federal military bases, the airport and the Port of San Diego tidelands (the Port’s Harbor Police), UC San Diego and San Diego State University (campus police), the City, Mesa and Miramar colleges, the California Highway Patrol on the freeways, the Sheriff in the unincorporated county, and the police departments of Coronado, National City, Chula Vista and the other neighboring cities.
