The Rossmoor Crime Map
There is a “Crime Map” available that tracks just the “crimes” rather than all OCSD activities in the region. The crimes that are shown include Arson, Assault, Burglary, Disturbing the Peace, Drugs / Alcohol Violations, DUI, Fraud, Homicide, Motor Vehicle Theft, Robbery, Sex Crimes, Theft / Larceny, Vandalism, Vehicle Break-In / Theft, and Weapons.
Â
As you will note as you move around the map, Rossmoor has a very low crime rate in comparison to the surrounding areas.
Â
NOTE: The Sheriff’s Blotter and the crime map that is built primarily from the blotter information contain the final resolution on the incident. They only show what was initially reported by the caller. Sometimes the actual circumstances at the scene differ (greatly) from those provided in the initial report.
