Violent crime has increased in Temecula, according to new figures released Monday from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The FBI’s 2011 Uniform Crime Report (see chart below) shows that compared to 2010, Temecula has seen a 28 percent uptick in violent crimes.
The newly released report also reflects property crimes. Temecula has seen a 2 percent increase in these types of incidents, the report shows.
Temecula 2011 Temecula 2010 Population 101,274 102,474 Violent Crime 95 74 Murder and Nonnegligent Manslaughter 0 2 Forcible Rape 7 3 Robbery 54 42 Aggravated Assault 34 27 Property Crime 2,406 2,351 Burglary 547 535 Larceny-Theft 1,700 1,642 Motor Vehicle Theft 159 174 Arson 0 5
yeah, we need to get to more pressing matters like preventing Temecula from having walkable communities.
I understand that people like the suburbs. Its safe, its cozy, its American etc. etc. My thing is just that I'm seeing a lot of people attack the whole agenda 21 thing over what I see as largely non-issues. Having mixed neighborhoods with residential atop commercial? We already have that in old town. It looks way better there now that they've taken that path over there, and believe it or not, there are a lot of people who grew up in Temecula and call this place home who would prefer that type of living arrangement. It doesn't spell the end of Temecula, it just means there is space for different kinds of lifestyles here. The sky isn't falling.
We have had to call the police on several occasions since 2000 and found the Temecula Officer’s to be indifferent and rude. When the Sheriff’s Department responded they were very professional and always followed up with information regarding the original call.
I think the demographics are changing in Temecula and not for the better IMO. Temecula can be a pretty rough hood. It ain't no Carmel Valley that's for sure. If I had to guess I'd say residents are noticing the demographic shift that went into high gear when the housing crisis started, and are moving back to San Diego or Orange County. I suspect that the current crime trends will continue. BTW, one thing I've learned about Temecula: never move to a street that has parked lifted trucks on a regular basis.
At 1st I thought Jamie White was in her early 20's and not old enough to realistically be on the council - after reading more about Jamie I really believe Jamie will make a great council member along with Patrice. It creeps me out that Paul Jacobs apparently likes to hang around stazi style police checkpoints and watch the police scare and intimidate citizens.
