Buried in this Brian Day story about the LA Sheriff's new chase policies in today's PSN is the following:

Data revealed that every San Gabriel Valley sheriff's station except Altadena showed a decrease in major crimes, such as homicide, robbery, rape, burglary and auto theft.

The sheriff's Altadena Station handled 7.6 percent more major crimes in 2009 than the previous year, and 21.2 percent more than in 2004.

The increases were due to more reports of assaults, burglaries and arsons.
