OCEANSIDE CRIME DECREASES!
OPD reports significant progress in reducing crime across the city, with the recent countywide crime statistics report marking another year of positive trends for Oceanside.
“Group A” criminal offenses—which include
all major crimes against people, property,
and society, declined by an impressive 21%
from 2021 to 2024.
This substantial reduction reflects the ongoing effectiveness of OPD initiatives throughout the city. Even in the most recent period from 2023 to 2024, Oceanside maintained this downward trajectory with a 7% decrease in total crimes.
