Sunday Safety Update: 07/19/2015 to 08/08/2015

Please note these maps are meant to show which direction crime is trending, areas to keep an extra eye on and places to remain vigilant in order for Central Long Beach residents to remain safe. That said, previous trends don't guarantee future trends in the same direction. This is a combination of three maps for the week of 07-19-2015 all the way until 08-08-2015. They will all show pretty much the same thing. Be very cautious around the U-Hail Station on PCH, Rotary Centennial Park and the southern end of MacArthur Park. There is a recurring trend of assaults around MacArthur Park and there is a recurring trend of thefts, especially car thefts around Rotary Centennial Park and Rosa Park's Park by the Dollar Tree.

Earlier maps, which span 07/19/2015 to 07/25/2015, showed most activity of this week on the outskirts of the neighborhood. Notice there is still a trend of car thefts just south of Rotary Centennial Park leading from Sherman both North West and North East. Also notice a similar trend of car thefts starting around MacArthur Park and Raynond that trend south and converge around Gaviota and 11th. Keep this in mind because something major will happen on Gaviota and 10th in only four weeks.

There is also a trend of thefts that move south from 18th Street and move south towards Rosa Parks Park. Also, the loitering on 17th Street has continued despite the violence that happened on both sides of Orange on 17th Street, someone in city government is encouraging and defending it..

In the following week, 07/26/2015 to 08/01/2015, the car thefts around Rotary Centennial Park die down, however they don't stop as there is still on one Sherman north of 17th Street. There is minor trend of robberies around MacArthur Park that move south west into the AOC7 neighborhood. Also notice all the incidents on PCH trend the same direction as they did the previous week. That is absolutely normal whenever something happens on PCH.

Just last week, 08/02/2015 to 08/08/2015, you see property crime that starts on Peterson and trends south. Peterson is usually tagged on the west side of the street and it usually happens to an un-monitored part or Fire Station 10. You will also notice there is a similar pattern of assaults along the south end of MacArthur Park trending east along Anaheim. You wiill also notice there was a theft from a car just south of Rosa Parks Park an then some similar thefts around it, but a little later in the week. All three maps suggest caution around Rosa Park's Park, MacArthur Park and Rotary Centennial Park. Additionally keep your eyes open on Sherman Street since a lot of car thefts start there. At least two maps suggest caution on PCH anywhere near the U-Haul Station.
