GLENDALE, AZ — The City of Glendale has provided crime report data to ABC15 after a recent report by Vivint was deemed to be inaccurate.
See the data sent to ABC15 from the City of Glendale below:
- Between 2011 and 2020 (the years sited in erroneous report by Vivint Security) Glendale, AZ had a total of 10,538 stolen vehicles. The number reported by Vivint was 133,385. This number is inaccurate by more than 122,000. We also researched the next closest cities in Vivint’s numbers and those numbers are also wrong as well.
- Using the same timeframe, Vivint reported that we had nearly 170k property crimes. The actual number is 119k which would make the math equal 460 crimes per 100k residents NOT 1 crime per resident like the erroneous report claims. We also individually researched the next closest city using the same graph and the next closest city is nearing our 10yrs number just this year alone.
Vivint has since removed their report on 10 years of property crimes from the web. An analysis of data from the FBI Crime Data Explorer shows Glendale’s 10-year property crime rate to be 4,322.4, well under the four cities it was compared to.
