Annual Statistics
Vacaville has consistently received recognition for having low crime levels for a city of its size and population when compared to other Northern Californian cities. We are constantly striving to lower crime in Vacaville, and with your help, we can accomplish this goal. Most crimes are crimes of opportunity, and if you do even the simplest things like take valuables out of your vehicle, watch your purse and wallet, we can show significant improvement toward crime reduction.
The Annual Crime Statistic Report contains raw data and we thought it would be helpful for you to know:
-
This data reflects reported crime only. Not everyone reports crime.
-
This report reflects crimes that were reported in the calendar year 2008.
-
The people who committed the reported crimes could be in jail or in another community now, no longer posing a threat to our community.
You may review the Annual Crime Reports online, or may request a hard copy by emailing Crime Prevention.
Any area can be a pleasant place if more good neighbors like you reside there. Resolve to get involved!
