Crime and Vandalism Report for Coto de Caza and Ladera Ranch

Coto de Caza, CA -
The quarter to quarter crime and vandalism report ending June 30,
2011 for Coto de Caza showed that larceny/theft increased 300%
while disorderly conduct increased 200% since new OCSD management
responsible for the community was installed. Since we could not see a
plausible explanation for the overly wild swing, we attributed this to
the management change, as we have seen this effect a couple of times
in the past. The quarter to quarter results for the month ending
March 30, 2012 again showed a similar wild swing. As in the
past, we show the actual Orange County Sheriff Department (OCSD)
actual data below, as well as a monthly average from 2Q2011.
Such average indicates still a higher than normal criminal activity,
where the major categoirt3es are Larceny/Theft at 18% of total
incidents, 4% for fraud and 9% for vandalism.

Coto's Crime and Vandalism
Report 2Q2011 - Averaged from 3Q2009 |
Coupled with the previously
reported negligible CHP's presence in Coto de Caza
- less than 60% of the 120 hours per month, as originally
contracted for and total inaction by the local governing body anent
public safety, the community is certainly begging for trouble

Coto's Public Safety Ticking
BombRhianna
Woolsey died (December
7, 2005) in the first traffic fatality in Coto de Caza in the
last ten years, followed three months later by a traffic
accident that claimed Mr Morteza
Manian’s life. |
Similarly, the quarter to quarter crime and vandalism
report ending June 30,
2011 for Ladera Ranch showed a 300% increase in vandalism and a 100% reduction in
narcotics violation. The figures for the quarter ending March
30,2012 do not show such major swings, although larceny accounts
for 30% of the reported incidents, while fraud and vandalism account
for 4% and 47%.
As in most of
the previous reports, while the violations in Ladera Ranch seem
to involved the younger generation, in Coto de Caza, whether it is
traffic violations or crime, the adults claim the largest share of
violations.

Coto
de Caza and Ladera Ranch 1Q2011 Public Safety Review
Coto de Caza, CA –By its own words and actions, it is fair to argue
that Coto de Caza’s local governance is not only apathetic when it
comes to public safety, but its own actions actually result increase
the risk to residents. Worse, seems like adults in Coto de Caza have
similar views as the local governance.
Our research over close to ten years indicate that whether a community
is safe or not, is primarily a function of residents and local
governance, not law enforcement. Consider that when a city in Orange
County is deemed the safest city, what about the other 11 cities or
the unincorporated areas? What about Coto de Caza with the highest
crime rate in history in early 2010. After all, only common
denominator is that the OCSD is the law enforcement agency. What does
the OCSD do differently in the safest city, as opposed to the least
safe city under its watch?
Coto
de Caza's Traffic Incident Rate at Critical Danger Levels
Coto de Caza, CA - While the Coto de Caza's total population has been
shrinking for the last ten years, including placement of 17 property
liens for the month of January 2011 out of roughly 3500 homes, the
policies pursued by the CZ Master association board of directors, the
local governance, have consistently increased traffic with a reduction
in CHP patrol hours, with predictable results. Consider that for close
to a decade, we have consistently shown conclusive evidence that there
is a direct correlation between the extent of the CHP traffic
enforcement efforts and the number of traffic accidents in the
community.

Coto de

Coto de Caza, CA - The CotoBuzz Journal has documented the one-sided
hate-hate relationship between the CZ Master Association board of
directors and law enforcement agencies in general, and the California
Highway Patrol (CHP) specifically (CHP). In an open board meeting for
example, a board member called the Orange County Sheriff's Department
(OCSD) extortionists! Despite the public abuse the CHP has received
from the Coto de Caza board of directors ever since the board was
coerced into bringing the CHP back for pro-active traffic patrol,
figures indicate that the CHP has been doing its job: - The Chart
