For the same period in 2012, Downtown’s crime represented only 3% of the City’s overall crime.

For the same period, Downtown’s crime represented 20% of Zone Five’s total crime.

Zone and beat realignment reduced Zone 5 footprint. Old Fourth Ward and Auburn Historic District reassigned to Zone 6 in December 2011.

Zone 5 accounted for15% of City’s Part I crime, and 14% of City’s Part I Crime arrests.

But Zone 5 accounted for 24% of total City arrests. Larceny (auto/other) represents 74% of all Downtown crime. Larceny from Auto

represents 52% of that amount, and 39% of all Downtown crime. Auto Theft was reduced by 42%. Crime data reflects the entire ADID, where the Railroad District used to be reported

separately. Total Downtown crime incidents decreased 23% from the same period last year, and

down 17% for the year.

Analysis Observations

Special Crime suppression operations were very successful.

Surge operations in South of Marietta area produced many arrests, but requires sustained presence and aggressive enforcement .

Increased coordination with other APD resources: e.g. Code Enforcement, Narcotics, Vice, Auto Theft, as well as other City assets.

Continue to expand foot beats and more dense deployment .

Expansion of Operation Shield cameras Downtown (public and private integration) this Spring along with the stand up of the Video Integration Center (VIC) has and will continue to have an even greater impact on crime.
