The adult felony arrest rate in San Diego County increased by 8 percent between 2009 and 2013, while misdemeanor DUI arrests declined by 31 percent over the same period, according to the latest report compiled by the San Diego Association of Governments’ Criminal Justice Research Division. The report found that San Diego County had the state’s second highest arrest rate for adults and the state’s highest arrest rate for juveniles. The report includes a complete breakdown of arrests by jurisdiction as well as by type. In 2009, felonies represented 28 percent of all adult arrests. In 2013, they represented 35 percent. Felony-level arrests for dangerous drugs increased 54 percent between 2009 and 2013. Over the same period, other drug offenses (which include prescription drug abuse) increased 30 percent, and narcotics offenses (which include heroin) increased 20 percent. Also on the rise were felony-level arrests of adults for burglary and motor vehicle theft. Another finding is the dramatic decline in misdemeanor DUI arrests. Last year, an average of 33 adults were arrested each day for driving under the influence – the most common reason an adult in San Diego County was arrested. This represents a significant decline from five years ago, when the daily number of DUI arrests for adults was 47. As the regional clearinghouse for crime statistics, the association prepares biannual reports on crime and annual reports on arrests. Crime data from local law enforcement are compiled and include seven crimes reported to the FBI.
