D. Presentation Sheriff's Department. (F: 127. 2)
Mayor Washburn called upon Captain Daniel to address a recent
newspaper article in regard to the Uniform Crime Report from
the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Captain Daniel explained that the Uniform Crime Report defines
"Part one" crimes as homicides, rapes, robberies, aggravated
assault, burglary, grand theft and auto theft. He further
explained that the statistics the Sheriff's Department
compiles for an annual report includes all the crimes listed
above and are reported to the Bureau of Criminal Statistics,
Department of Justice for the State of California who then
publishes the findings in the California Crime Index, which
contains all crimes reported with the exception of arson and
larceny theft. He explained that the Federal Bureau of
Investigation includes all crimes including petty larceny and
theft, which could include shoplifting of small items (such as
candy and bubble gum) to larger crimes. He further explained
that the reason for reporting all thefts is the variance in
laws from state to state; noting that in the state of
California shoplifting is a misdemeanor, but in other states
it is a felony. This creates a form of standardization
although it sends a wrong signal to anyone who does not
understand this type of report. Captain Daniel explained that
the information in the Uniform Crime Report is accurate, but
there needs to be a study of what the numbers mean. He stated
that it was reported that if a person living in Lake Elsinore
would be more likely to be a victim of a serious crime than a
person living in the City of Los Angeles. Captain Daniel
stated that this is not a fair statement nor a proper
comparison due to inaccurate population count and how the
information was analyzed. The publication was not intended to
rank cities, but rather to give an overview of the trends and
how the criminal element is changing within specified areas.
Captain Daniel read a portion of the instructions for
compiling information for this report, as follows:
Each year when Crime in the United States is published,
many entities, news media, tourism agencies and others
with an interest in crime in our nation, compiles
rankings of cities and counties based on their crime
index figures. These simplistic and/or incomplete
analyses often create misleading perceptions which
adversely affect cities and counties along with the
residents. Valid assessments are only possible with
careful study and analysis of the various conditions
affecting each local law enforcement jurisdiction.
Population size is the only correlate of crime utilized
in this publication. The reader is therefore cautioned
against comparing statistical data of individual
reporting units from cities, counties, metropolitan
areas, states, colleges or universities solely on the
basis of their population or student enrollment.
Captain Daniel stated that the crime statistics must be
PAGE THREE - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - OCTOBER 12, 1993
carefully reviewed to see what they really mean and that there
are cities which Lake Elsinore is being compared to that don't
have recreational activities, such as the Lake. He explained
that Lake Elsinore has a large number of people filling the
campgrounds and creating an additional variable, meaning if
the officer responds to a crime of assault in the State Park
the individuals are generally from out of town, but the crime
stats stay in the City and this does not reflect what is local
and what is not and impacts the final report. He expressed
concern with the comment that a person would be four times
more likely to be a victim of a violent crime in the City of
Lake Elsinore. Captain Daniel explained that in fact no
person moving to Lake Elsinore should be in fear of this. He
cited the four homicides which occurred in the City in the
last year and explained that two were directly gang related
and not affecting the general population; one infant which was
beaten to death; and the forth was a homicide created from a
dispute between two neighbors who had a long standing argument
and it escalated to violence. He stressed that these crimes
did not affect or involve the general public. He noted the
rapes which occurred in the City and stated that they were not
situations of people being pulled off the street; they were
incidents which could be classified as drug oriented and date
rapes and there were no abductions. Captain Daniel explained
the assault reports and stated that of the 258 aggravated
assaults, 38% were within family units amounting to
approximately 100 reports and of the other 158 the majority
were drug orientated. The average person in the community is
not subjected to these types of assaults. Captain Daniel
stated that he felt that there was no cause for concern by the
average citizen of the City; but noted there are problem
areas. He explained that if Council uses the actual base
population and backs out the part two crimes (petty thefts and
malicious mischief) that are included in the report, the
accurate number places the City at 90. 1 crimes per thousand
rather than 151. 1 crimes and this ranks the City below six or
seven other cities. He stressed that the Uniform Crime Report
does not present an accurate picture of the City and the
instructions clearly state that all data must be accurately
analyzed which it was not.
E. Presentation - King Videocable. (F: 170. 7)
Tom Thomas, General Manager, presented to media spots which
will begin on October 13th recognizing Lake Elsinore and King
Videocable, featuring commentators Tom Snyder & John
McLaughlin.

and the finding of nuisance by the City. He cited court cases and
Civil codes relating to rights to use of personal property.
Hugh Von Platten noted his previous appearances before Council and
questioned any action which might have occurred on Chaney Street
during the recent meetings. Mayor Washburn indicated that
