Crime Drops 17% in Suisun City During 2012

February 13, 2013 By Leave a Comment

SUISUN CITY — Crime in Suisun City declined 17 percent in 2012, continuing a five-year decline in incidents of the most serious types of crime, according to annual crime figures released by the Suisun City Police Department.

In 2007, the Police Department reported 912 Part I Crimes to the FBI. In 2012, only 620 occurred in the City, representing a 32% reduction in just five years.

Reductions in serious property crime led the overall decline with burglaries falling by 35% and thefts being reduced by 18%.

Violent crime, such as rape, robbery and aggravated assault, was reduced by 11% overall, and continued to be a rare occurrence in Suisun City. Only 58 incidents of serious violent crime against people were reported in 2012.

The continued reduction in the crime rate is the result of enhanced street patrols and crime response, as well as consistent proactive work by police officers and civilian staff, Police Chief Ed Dadisho said.

“We have built a very strong community partnership over the years, and focus our efforts on proactive enforcement in our Patrol Division, tracking crime trends, aggressively investigating crime and addressing quality of life issues through our Code Enforcement Division,” Chief Dadisho said.

Proactive enforcement by patrol officers is key to Suisun City’s success in reducing criminal activity. In 2012, Suisun City police officers

  • Responded to 25,483 calls for service – 50% of which were officer initiated
  • Issued 2,627 citations
  • Made 985 arrests
  • Conducted 757 field interviews

Chief Dadisho also reported that officer response times to 911 emergency calls improved by 25 seconds with officers on an emergency scene within three minutes of being dispatched, on average.

For non-emergency calls, a police officer arrives on scene in about four minutes.

The partnership between the Police Department and the community, through programs like Neighborhood Watch and events like National Night Out, are a key in pursuing crime-free neighborhoods.

Crime Down 21% Year to Date

August 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Suisun City – We are pleased to announce that overall crime for the Mid-year (January 1, 2012-June 31, 2012) is down 21% from this time last year!  Burglaries, which had seen a large increase the previous year, are down 49%. Likewise, robberies are down 58%.   The only increase was in Auto Thefts which went up by 19%. 

Chief Dadisho attributed the decrease in crime to the community groups in the City who are more engaged in policing efforts and the Department’s proactive law enforcement style.   “Our patrol officers have been more proactive, arresting so many burglars and other criminals.  They are also being much more visible – which deters crimes from even taking place.  Our Code Enforcement officers have been busy cleaning up neighborhoods so they don’t become blight, and our crime prevention and community involvement efforts are paying off because more and more people call dispatch when they see suspicious activity.  Our Dispatchers are also part of this mix because all the calls come through them and they put out that great information that our line officers use to catch the suspect, ” said Chief Dadisho.

Copper Thieves Target Street Lights

April 24, 2012 By Leave a Comment

SUISUN CITY, Calif. – Copper thieves are once again stripping street lights of their wiring in Suisun City, and the public’s help is needed to catch these criminals and safeguard our street lighting.

On April 17, the Police Department reported four street lights were not working on Railroad Avenue near Village Drive. When Public Works crews responded, they discovered the wiring had been cut and stolen from the conduit between the street lights, and found that additional lights also were affected.

Replacing street light wiring is both time-consuming and very expensive. The City does not have equipment necessary to rewire the lights so a private contractor must be hired, which is an unbudgeted expense.

For a period of more than a year, copper thieves have been stealing wiring from street lights on Walters Road and in the Peterson Ranch subdivision.

Residents should watch for unusual activity near street lights poles particularly during evening hours. Legitimate work on City street lights is normally conducted during the daytime by crews with vehicles and uniforms bearing the City emblem, PG&E logos, or a contractor employed by the City.

Anyone who sees suspicious activity is encouraged to immediately call the Police Department at 707-421-7373.
