Property of the People We Serve
Starting in January 2023, the Danville Police Department transitioned
from the Summary Reporting System (SRS), which only included data
on Homicide, Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Theft,
Vehicle Theft, and Arson, to the National Incident-Based Reporting
System (NIBRS). This shift marked a significant enhancement in crime
data collection, offering:
Detailed Incident Data: NIBRS provides specifics on each crime,
including offense details, property, demographics, and weapon use.
Broader Crime Coverage: NIBRS captures a wider range of crimes
beyond the SRS's limited scope, offering a fuller picture of criminal
activity.
Accurate Crime Estimates: NIBRS offers a more precise national
crime overview, covering over 82% of the U.S. population by 2024.
Advanced Analysis Tools: Tools like LEARCAT enable detailed
crime data analysis.
This transition not only improves the accuracy and depth of crime
data but also aids in better-informed public safety strategies and
policies. However, it's important to acknowledge that the initial years
of this transition might show fluctuations or gaps in data, potentially
affecting the completeness of the data set during the early stages of
implementation.

standardize the categorization of existing criminal offenses across the United States,
ensuring a more uniform and detailed approach to crime statistics.

DUI arrests are categorized under various sections of the California Vehicle Code:
Minor DUI Statutes:
Vehicle Code Section 23140: Infraction. Prohibits individuals under the age of 21 from driving
with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.05 percent or more.
Vehicle Code Section 23136: Zero Tolerance. Administrative violation. Prohibits those under
the age of 21 from driving with a BAC of 0.01 percent or more. Violation = license suspension.

The ten-year chart provided in this report reflects all DUI arrests/detentions made under these
sections, showcasing a trend of relatively stable arrests over the decade. However, fluctuations during
the years coinciding with the global health crisis are noteworthy, indicating a temporary impact on
DUI enforcement or occurrence during that period. The 2024 data is estimated based on the total
number of arrests made (53) from January - August 2024.

E-BIKE OR NO E-BIKE
MOVE FROM EDUCATION TO ENFORCMENT
The surge in popularity of e-mobility has led to a market filled with various types of electric and
motorized vehicles, each with different regulations. The public's misunderstanding often stems from
the visual similarity and the term "e-bike" being applied to any electric or motorized two-wheeler.
Most of the egregious violators are on dirt bikes and mopeds operating illegally, and not “e-bikes.”
The Danville Police Department has added enforcement of its year-long educational campaign on e-
mobility vehicle usage. Officers have the discretion to issue citations for poor driving on e-mobility
vehicles and to tow vehicles operating illegally on the road. This additional strategy is intended to
correct unsafe driving behaviors observed by both officers and community members, promoting a
safer environment through stricter compliance with traffic laws.
