The May, 2020 Emeryville Crime Report saw 173 crimes reported (up dramatically from the 84 reported in April). After four successive months of declines, crime data surged in May. Much of this surge can be attributed to the May 30th widespread looting across our city.

The report contains a comprehensive list of businesses that were looted across the city that included businesses across all four shopping centers across our city.

Overall, crimes reported for 2020 are on an 30% downward trajectory from last year.
