From San Diego Union Tribune, February 14, 2017:
San Diego’s crime rate last year was the second-lowest in 47 years, city officials said Tuesday.

Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman credited police-community partnerships and focused crime-fighting for the positive trend.
The result, she said, was 785 fewer crime victims in 2016 than the year before.
