Crimes cover the Ocean Crest neighborhood (the boundary outlined on the map), over the last 12 months. Crime is compared per resident (rate), so a large, busy area can have a high total but a lower rate. Source: City of San Diego open data and SANDAG regional GIS. SDPD publishes each report at its hundred block, a point on the street’s centerline, and the City’s police-neighborhood outlines run along the edge of the street about 7 meters away, so reports within about 15 meters of the outline are counted here, which means a report on a street shared by two neighborhoods counts toward both. San Diego’s crime data is the San Diego Police Department’s reports. About 3% of reports carry no map location and are left out, including about 12% of rape reports, so crime counts here understate violent crime; the newest weeks are still being filled in as reports are approved. The department’s own process entries (mental-health holds, warrants, parole and probation lines, failure to appear, jail escape, contempt of court, resisting arrest, municipal-code and ordinance citations, infractions) are not counted, and sex offenses are shown at block level (about 100 meters) without a case number. Other police agencies cover parts of the city, so none of their reports are included: Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Naval Base San Diego and the Point Loma naval bases (federal), the airport and the Port of San Diego tidelands (Harbor Island, Shelter Island, Seaport Village, the Embarcadero), which the Port’s Harbor Police cover, UC San Diego and San Diego State University (campus police), the San Diego City, Mesa and Miramar colleges (community college district police), and the California Highway Patrol on the freeways. Coronado, National City, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, La Mesa, El Cajon, Santee, Poway and Del Mar have their own police departments, and the unincorporated county is the Sheriff’s.
