Rancho Santa Fe Crime Down, Rancho Santa Fe Patrol Blog Up...
OK, it's official. Everybody in America has a blog. The final proof: Rancho Santa Fe Patrol Blog. The blog logged 1,090 hits from its November opening through Feb. 8.
In any event, the patrol celebrated its 35th year of service with a report that crime has dropped at Rancho Santa Fe. However, total patrol service calls actually increased 1 percent in the last year. The patrol handled 3,308 calls in 2010.
Burglaries fell from 41 in 2009 to 17 in 2010, Patrol chief Matt Wellhouser told Rancho Santa Fe Association directors last week. Burglaries divided into six commercial, six residential and five vehicle break-ins.
Crime in the downtown Village area dropped from 25 in 2008 to 11 in 2009 to nine last year, Wellhouser said.
Averaging 6 minutes, 19 seconds in response time, patrol officers also conducted 31,000 secutiry and vacation checks for a total of 99,000 miles traveled, Wellhouser said.
Traffic collisions in the Ranch showed a slight increase from last year, going to 107 from 98 in 2009. Fifty of those involved speeding, 19 were during right-of-way issues and 15 were DUI's, Wellhouser said.
