The month of January registered a modest decrease in overall crime with a decline of nearly 8% compared to December. Theft remains the leading category, but burglary incidents dropped to 12. The reduced crime rate is attributed to community watch programs that activated during early evening hours.
CCTV: Focus on equipping residential streets with infraredâenabled cameras that trigger motion alerts between 20:00 and 22:00, particularly at block boundaries where burglary attempts are most frequent.
December saw a notable uptick in theft and burglary, with 28 thefts and 14 burglaries recorded. The city councilâs recent crackdown on vacant properties likely contributed to this rise, as residents report more opportunistic thefts at night.

CCTV: Deploy highâresolution CCTV along alley entrances and add infrared nightâvision cameras to improve coverage during lowâlight hours.
The August monsoon brought heavy rains that slightly reduced overall activity, but vandalism saw a small increase along lowâlying streets due to waterârelated congestion. The majority of complaints involved delayed responses from culvertâlevel CCTV, affecting nightâtime coverage.

CCTV: Upgrade floodâresistant mounts on CCTV in lowâlying lanes and activate realâtime rainfall alerts to schedule maintenance during heavy downpours.
July witnessed a noticeable rise in daytime thefts, correlated with the commute peak when residents return home from work. The July spike was partly attributed to increased property access during the hotter weather, driving more opportunistic thieves.

CCTV: Integrate geofencing with vehicle cameras and implement licenseâplate recognition to flag suspicious vehicle activity during peak commute hours.
June marked the onset of the monsoon, which saw a moderate uptick in property thefts, especially during early afternoon crowd movements.
