San Bernardino, California (AP) – a recent analysis of Crime Crime Data in Kal Bernardino reveals an alarming jump in incidents with vandalism and thefts in the campus and residential parking lots, leaving students and employees to be concerned about their safety. Between December 2024 and February 2025, the department recorded 27 incidents, with vandalism and vehicle -related crimes, representing a significant part of the reports.
Data received from the CSUSB Police Diary of the Crime Department of Crown, the repetitive problems of the campus parking lots, especially in the F Lot and D Lot areas, which have become hot spots for criminal activity. Vandalism, more specially puzzling the property, is emerging as the most common crime, with 11 incidents reported during this period. These incidents often occur in parking lots and residential areas, such as Arrowhead Village and University Village.
On February 12, 2025, two separate cases of vandalism in the batch F within minutes were reported, with both including property compensation. Both cases remain in the process of investigation, leaving many in the campus community to feel restless. “I park in Lot every day and it’s scary to think that my car can be broken or vandalized,” says Maria Gonzalez, Jr. in CSUSB. “The university has to do more to protect us.”
Crimes associated with vehicles also have a significant jump, such as burglary, thefts and incidents with shocks and running are becoming more common. On February 12, 2025, Lot D was reported to be a burglary by a motor vehicle, along with an act of vandalism. This case, like many others, remains under investigation. Another remarkable incident occurred on February 1, 2025, when it was reported that a vehicle was stolen from the batch F. S
While ownership crimes dominate the reports, more serious incidents that raise additional concerns are also documented. On February 6, 2025, a rape was reported, with the incident claiming that it occurred in September 2024. The case was marked as “only information”, suggesting that no further action had been taken due to lack of evidence or other factors. Another concerning the incident took place on February 4, 2025, when the case was sent to a crime with the intention of terrorizing in the village Criminal charges.
Despite the large number of ongoing investigations, the CSUSB police station has made several arrests, especially for traffic related crimes and unpaid orders. On January 24, 2025, a suspect was arrested for avoiding a peace officer and driving under influence. In addition, several persons were arrested in crimes and offenses, including a suspect, detained near the Devils Canyon power plant on January 24, 2025.
In response to the data, CSUSB employees acknowledged concerns and promised to take action. “The safety of our students, teachers and staff is our top priority,” said chief John Smith of the CSUSB Police Department. “We are actively working to deal with these problems by increasing patrols in the affected areas and collaborating with local law enforcement authorities to ensure a quick response to criminal activity.”
The university also encouraged students and employees to report suspicious activity and take precautions, such as a vehicle lock and avoiding isolated areas at night. As the CSUSB community fights these challenges, the data emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to campus safety.
“We need to feel safe on the campus,” Gonzalez said. “It’s not just about responding to crimes after they happen – but to prevent them from preventing them.” So far, the community remains vigilant, hoping for a more fascinating environment in the campus in the coming months.
