Carson Reports Lowest Crime Rate In Its History

In a report to Mayor Albert Robles and the Carson City Council, Los Angeles Sheriff Department  Station Captain Jason Skeen noted that crime is down in Carson —  the lowest documented crime rate in the city’s history.

Skeen reported Carson is down in every major Part I Crime category, which includes homicide, rape, assault, robbery, burglary, grand theft auto, larceny thefts and arson.  The two previous lowest-crime rates were in 2018 and 2019. Skeen went on to note it is rare to be down in every major category and 2018 and 2019, representing the cities two lowest crime years prior to the crime trajectory Carson is on.

He attributed the encouraging statistics to the success of enforcement strategies, the dedication of the deputies, professional staff and investigators. He also credited the success to the engagement of the community and the support of the elected officials and city administration along with the Safer-at-Home order associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
