Public Safety Data Indicates GRUPs Continue to be an Issue in Coto de Caza

Total number of arrests nearly doubled by the end of the second quarter of 2009 compared to the end of the first quarter ending March 2009. Four burglaries were registered in the second quarter of 2009 compared to one in the first quarter. Number of fraud cases also doubled in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter.
Apparently unique to the community is that the age group of 50-years and above, account for roughly 50% of the reported incidents - what we call the GRUP Syndrome.

Data for Ladera Ranch shows that the upward trend in crime that started by the end of last year may have been contained for now, with the total number of arrests falling from a total of 46 by the end of March 2009, to 19 by the end of the second quarter of 2009.

Whereas the age group of 50-years and older account for 50% of the total number of incidents in Coto de Caza, the same group accounts for only 10% in Ladera Ranch. The phenomena seems to be consistent since we started keeping track some six years ago.

Orange County Crime Down, Nation's Crime Up - While the FBI is expected to report a 1.3 percent rise in violent crime nationwide in 2006 — an increase for the second straight year, Sheriff Michael Carona today announced that criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft decreased by 3.7% in jurisdictions served by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department in 2006. “This is great news for Orange County. Violent crimes decreased by 7.72% and property crimes decreased by 3.76% as compared to 2005. The men and women of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, in partnership with our residents, community leaders, and business owners, continue to make law enforcement a top priority. We are, once again, one of the safest communities in the nation,” said Sheriff Carona.
