Neighborhood Crime Update: Echo Park “very clear”

Captain Bill Murphy sent out a crime update for the Northeast Division, reporting that Echo Park has been “Very clear – looks great.” Although the LA Times crime map displays some property crimes from March 14-20 (vehicle thefts, burglaries, etc.), there were no violent crimes.

Year-to-date crime numbers covering January 1 through March 17 this year show some improvement for the Northeast area overall. Read more details from Captain Murphy after the jump.

  • Homicide: Up 100.0% (up 1crime, 2 vs. 1)
  • Rape: Down 25.0% (down 1 crime)

  • Total Property Crime: Up 1.7% (up 15 crimes YTD from last year)

Part I (Total Crime): Up 2.2% (up 22 crimes YTD from last year)

  • Northeast Area ranks 20th in violent crime
  • Northeast ranks 16th in property crime
  • Northeast ranks 17th in Part I crime
  • Had 92 total crimes last week…5% goal is 91
  • As with last year, GTA is our biggest problem, we are up 65 crimes YTD!
  • If we were simply even on GTA, the crime rate would be down 4.5% and we would be ranked 10th in the City – buy your CLUB devices at below cost at Northeast Station!

Neighborhood Crime Update:

Glassell Park

Many of you have seen the press conference we gave this past Friday at Northeast Station regarding the kidnap incident that occurred while a student was walking to the Sotomayor Learning Center. We are still actively searching for the suspect and are requesting the public’s help in identifying anyone that looks like the suspect (go to our facebook for composite viewing) and drives a similar vehicle (older red Toyota pickup with scrap metal or tools in the bed). If you have any information please contact Northeast Juvenile Detectives at (323) 344-5741 and reference DR number 12-11-00622.

Last week, had four BFMV adjacent to Eagle Rock Boulevard between the hours of 6 PM to 6 AM. This is high for this area and we are sending extra officers into the area.

Cypress Park

Overall, the crime looks good…a few property crimes…no trends or patterns.

Highland Park

Had a team of security guards who were patrolling the Figueroa Corridor become the victims of an AGG by three Avenues gang members. Northeast patrol responded and arrested the three-gang members (please go to facebook for more details and a dialog on the incident).

Also had some property crime issues in Highland Park with a cluster of three GTAs, one theft, and one burglary near the area where the AGG occurred (couple of blocks that surround Figueroa in the Avenue 50s/60s). Our gang unit is focusing on this area with extra support from patrol.

Eagle Rock

A few property crimes adjacent to Eagle Rock Boulevard near Yosemite. Otherwise, looks pretty clear.

Atwater Village

Just a few property crimes along Los Feliz Boulevard.

Echo Park

Very clear – looks great.

Silver Lake

Overall, looks good…just a few property crimes. We have focused on this area with our property crimes detail.

Elysian Valley

Very clear – one crime

Franklin Hills

Sporadic property crime with no trends or patterns – crimes are at different times.

Los Feliz

A few property crimes – no trends or patterns.

East Hollywood

Had a few property and violent crimes in area. Did have an AGG involving two prostitutes who got into a fight. We ran a trick task force there approximately one month ago and will set up another one. Have not received any major complaints of this type of activity – just want to get on top of it before it expands.

Mount Washington

Very clear – couple of BFMV.

    I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative
    and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is something which too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy that I came across this during my search for something relating to this.

  2. Drew says:

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the
    layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what
    youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
    with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.

    Maybe you could space it out better?

    A motivating discussion is worth comment. I
    think that you should publish more on this subject matter, it may not be a taboo matter but usually people do not
    discuss such subjects. To the next! Best wishes!!

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
    own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

  13. Bill says:

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to
    be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for
    your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

  14. tinyurl.com says:

  17. tinyurl.com says:

    I believe what you published made a great deal
    of sense. But, what about this? what if you composed a catchier post title?
    I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added a
    post title to possibly grab people’s attention? I mean Neighborhood Crime Update:
    Echo Park “very clear” | Echo Park Now is kinda
    plain. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create post headlines to get people to click.
    You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab people interested about what you’ve got
    to say. Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.
