Coto de Caza: 4Q2007 Crime and Vandalism Flash Report
The CZ Board will not do it - Here is to you Coto Dad - keep it up!
December
20, 2007
The
bad news is that the 3Q2007
flash crime and vandalism report showed a
troubling upward trend,
|
The good news is that the 4Q2007 flash report indicates a significant dip, similar to the one we have seen anent traffic collisions |

Given that in spite of the CZ board of directors' failure to even consider the advice of CHP's Lt. Helzig to reduce traffic collisions (instead call CHP extortionists, refuse to allow time from a board meeting for a public awareness announcement by CHP management, but turn complete control of an entire board meeting to trashy TV producers, for example), and that the CHP enforcement hours are down some 60% from 2007, and yet the traffic collisions are in a downward spiral, we concluded that Coto parents must be taking public safety matters into their own hands.
Something similar seems to be happening with crime and vandalism in the commnity. Despite periodic promises from the CZ board of directors that The Sheriff is coming, Sheriff enforcement hours are negligible. We have asked Lt. Griffin for the number of enforcement hours per month to correlate with the figures about, but we have not had a response. Hence, here is to you Coto Dad - keep it up!
A significant difference observed in the 3Q2007 between the two communities is in the age group of those involved in reported infractions. Of three age groups: 20 years and under, 21-29 and 30 years and over, in Ladera Ranch, the mid-range age is responsible for 40% of the reported incidents, whereas in Coto de Caza, the age group of 20 and under is responsible for a whopping 42% of the incidents!. For the 4Q3007 flash report, the Coto de Caza figures have change little: 20 and under = 43%, 29-21=23% and 30+ = 35%
