Most of you know that the monthly crime stats published by the Sheriff's Department show us the crime rates for the previous month with a comparison to the same period of time for the years 2006 and 2010, and in addition, they show us the year to date for each period reflected in their report.
You can review the whole 119 page report here http://file.lacounty.gov/lasd/cms1_148405.pdf
Below are three pages of the report for the period ending December 31, 2011. These three pages show you the crime rates for violent crime and property crime for all of the areas services by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on the first page. This page also allows you to see how crime rates for Altadena measure against crime rates across all service areas for the Sheriff's Department. The second pages shows you Altadena's crime rates for violent crime and property crime and then the last page shows you a larger breakdown of these crimes so you have a little more detail.
Please note that Altadena's crime rates for Part I crimes continue to improve over the same period for 2010 with only the Avalon Sheriff's Station experiencing a greater reduction in crime.
Please continue to do your part and report suspicious activity. It does make a different.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to let me know. The three critical pages of the report are after the jump.
