The February, 2020 Emeryville Crime Report saw 169 crimes reported (down sharply from the 230 reported in January). Both property and violent crimes saw dramatic drops from the previous month. It was the second consecutive month that crime saw a sharp drop in crimes reported after a large spike in December 2019.

The news wasn’t all good though as an Emeryville officer was injured while attempting to arrest a burglary suspect near 38th and San Pablo Avenue. “The officer fell or was pushed over while attempting to detain someone and hit his head on the sidewalk,” according to EPD Captain Oliver Collins. “The officer has since returned to full duty.” EPD did arrested the suspect shortly thereafter according to the report.

Overall, crimes reported for 2020 are on an 18% downward trajectory from last year.
