Council Member Burns' request for a comprehensive report on theft and impact on businesses
includes:
1. A full report and accounting identifying all of the City's resources, including recently
hired/appointed City personnel, and technology needed
2. An analysis on statistics on theft and businesses
This report addresses Items 1-2 above for Council consideration. Furthermore, Police Chief Parra
will present statistics on a quarterly basis starting June 2023.
Background
The City has been affected by an increase in thefts, both in businesses and residences. In analyzing
the statistics, directed enforcement and the use of technology is necessary for crime prevention and
the apprehension of suspects.
HBPD has divided the City into four quadrants, referred to as area commands. Each area command
is managed by one patrol lieutenant, who is responsible for addressing issues affecting their area.
Statistics are utilized to address potential issues in an effort to prevent crime. In 2022, there were a
total of 669 shoplifting incidents, of which 31% involved an arrest. There were a total of 106
robberies, 37 of them being considered an Estes robbery. Of those Estes robberies, an arrest was
made in 49% of them. Regarding vandalism, there were a total of 1,134 vandalisms, of which 363
involved a business as the victim. Of all vandalisms involving a business, an arrest was made in
24% of the cases.
The statistics indicate over 50% of the suspects committing these crimes are not identified or are
considered unknown. Utilizing technology and proactive coordinated operations, we aim to reduce
the amount of crime and/or increase the apprehension of suspects.
Police Department: Proposed Enforcement Plan
Huntington Beach Police Department's (HBPD) proposed Enforcement Plan includes a combination
of technology and directed enforcement:
• Adding 25 additional public safety cameras (collaborating with IT Department), at a rate of five
per year
• Proactive Patrol coordinated by Area Commanders
• Coordinate with Special Investigations Bureau (SIB) to conduct operations targeting these
crimes
This plan will increase proactive enforcement and apprehension of suspects.
Furthermore, this plan will require additional staffing and equipment to be effective. A summary of
those items and costs is below:
