Coto de Caza, CA - Some four months ago, the headline for this section read: Crime in Ladera Ranch at all time high- Coto de Caza getting there. In that piece we noted that after more than ten years of looking at the monthly Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD) reports, the data consistently shows that the crime rate in Ladera Ranch is trending down or stable as compared to the one for the Coto de Caza community and while the streak ended the third quarter ending September 2012, the trend continued in the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

Coto de Caza, Crime and vandalism, fourth quarter report ending December 31, 2012, includes five arrests and only three reported incidents of vandalism. Data shows the CZ HOA board of directors may not be reporting cases of vandalism in the community to the OCSD.
|
Given the killing in Ladera Ranch earlier this week, trying to make sense of the data is even more important. In the previous piece we noted that crime in Coto de Caza is not under control and the OCSD data usually shows wild swings mostly attributed more to data collection and administration, rather than actions taken by the local governance and or residents. For the first time, we also see a wild swing in the data reported for Ladera Ranch: We have asked the OCSD data collection department to confirm the reports are complete.
| Ladera Ranch Crime and vandalism, fourth quarter report ending December 31, 2012, shows a steep drop from the previous quarter. While wild swings are common in the Coto de Caza OCSD report, this is the first time we have seen it for Ladera Ranch - appears to be simply an administrative issue |

The Ladera Ranch figures include 73 incidents of theft, seven disorderly conduct and seven mental inebriates cases/

Coto de Caza and Ladera Ranch 1Q2011 Public Safety Review
Coto de Caza, CA –By its own words and actions, it is fair to argue that Coto de Caza’s local governance is not only apathetic when it comes to public safety, but its own actions actually result increase the risk to residents. Worse, seems like adults in Coto de Caza have similar views as the local governance.
Our research over close to ten years indicate that whether a community is safe or not, is primarily a function of residents and local governance, not law enforcement. Consider that when a city in Orange County is deemed the safest city, what about the other 11 cities or the unincorporated areas? What about Coto de Caza with the highest crime rate in history in early 2010. After all, only common denominator is that the OCSD is the law enforcement agency. What does the OCSD do differently in the safest city, as opposed to the least safe city under its watch?
Coto de Caza's Traffic Incident Rate at Critical Danger Levels
Coto de Caza, CA - While the Coto de Caza's total population has been shrinking for the last ten years, including placement of 17 property liens for the month of January 2011 out of roughly 3500 homes, the policies pursued by the CZ Master association board of directors, the local governance, have consistently increased traffic with a reduction in CHP patrol hours, with predictable results. Consider that for close to a decade, we have consistently shown conclusive evidence that there is a direct correlation between the extent of the CHP traffic enforcement efforts and the number of traffic accidents in the community.

Coto de Caza Fires the CHP - Again!
Coto de Caza, CA - The CotoBuzz Journal has documented the one-sided hate-hate relationship between the CZ Master Association board of directors and law enforcement agencies in general, and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) specifically (CHP). In an open board meeting for example, a board member called the Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD) extortionists! Despite the public abuse the CHP has received from the Coto de Caza board of directors ever since the board was coerced into bringing the CHP back for pro-active traffic patrol, figures indicate that the CHP has been doing its job: - The Chart below was published Sept. 30, 2006.
