On Tuesday, the Brentwood City Council will receive the 2016 Brentwood Police Department Annual Performance Report by Chief Mark Evenson which will highlight an increase in crime.
According to the report:
Violent Crime Increase
Between 2014 and 2015, violent crime increased by 70 incidents, or 14.7%. The City of Brentwood experienced increases in rapes, arson and assaults. The build of the increase (58 incidents) was due to a rise in simple assaults. Property crimes increased by 38 incidents, or 3%. The increase is due to the increase in non-residential burglaries, theft and auto theft. Police are reporting a drop in residential burglaries by 25%.
Workload Increase
Between 2014-2015 saw an increase in reactive workload of 3.6% jumping from 33,347 events (calls for service, crime incidents, cases taken and traffic collisions) to 34,553—a total increase of 1,206 events.
Between 2014-2015, proactive workload increased 25.6% from 17,434 events to 21,898—an increase of 4,464 events. These category calls include arrests, citations, and officer initiated stops.
Response Times:
In 2015, the response times to priority 1 calls increased by 5 seconds, and the response times to priority 2 calls increased by 2 seconds. Response times fluctuate annually, and the increase in response times to both priority 1 and priority 2 should be considered minimal. The 2015 times are at or below the average for the past 5 years.

Am I the only one noticing that Brentwood appears to be telling the truth with its statistics? Antioch and Pittsburg both saying crime is down but Brentwood up nearly 10%???? At least Brentwood admits crime is a problem with Prop 47 and AB109ers going crazy.
Thank you Brentwoof for being honest, its usually the best policy.
@Jim,
Please keep in mind Antioch in 2012-13 stated crime was up when everyone else was saying crime was down. APD has since provided quarterly reporting highlighting the numbers to the previous year. Crime was so high in 2012, they are still seeing a decrease in crime even with an increase in population and calls for service.
Keep in mind, crime is always cyclical. Antioch may not benefit from a public perception standpoint by using quarterly reporting, but they are also the only ones doing it and appear to be a good tool to increase public transparency of what is going on every 4-months.
Personally, I would love to see Brentwood, Oakley and Pittsburg all provide quarterly reports.
Ironic that I am now safer in Antioch than I am in Brentwood LMAO! Crime is down in Antioch and up in Brentwood. Hey Brentwood, your sh!t does stink too!
Oh yeah boyee! I’ve been saying it all along. There is no invisible wall that protects you, Brentwood, from the ghetto section 8, drug dealers, prostitutes, child molesters, rapists, and liberal democrats that run rampant throughout Antioch and Pittsburg.
Soon you will have an Liberal Democrat black person in office, perhaps even our great and competent Wade Harper as your Council member. Ha!
Welcome to the hood Brentwood. Watch you’re overpriced home values deteriorate into less than half.
Remember, the ghetto love greener pastures. Give them free stuff and watch them flock into your town.
Liberal Democrats ruining cities by inviting these low life, low income bottom feeders into our towns. They deserve million dollar homes too right? With no job, no education, lets grant them these things at the expense of the tax payer, let’s watch home values drop like flies. STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS!!!. Hope America will wake up in November and follow England’s path and take back our nation from these losers!!
No, you are not safer in Antioch. Far from it, actually.

Hopefully we can send some of the section 8 ghetto Obama-voters to go live in Brentwood and destroy that place. You know….equality and all. Equally shitty all over.
This is reason enough to get a new council and mayor. Crime is off limits in Brentwood in terms of talking about it because they want to pretend its not an issue. Crime has become a huge issue in Brentwood and we need a council who is productive and proactive not heads in the sand.
Brentwood PD deserves better council leadership to ensure it does not become the next Antioch.
The cancerous freebies are bored. They have destroyed Antioch and are coming to greener pastures. When they take rob and pilage an area until it breaks they move on to another pasture. Make these low life freeloaders work for their room and board. Maybe they will start respecting society.
No Hilary if you want change.
Sorry, you are NOT safer in Antioch than you are in Brentwood. Not even close.
