Mayor touts San Bernardino as a ‘safe city’
SAN BERNARDINO – (INT) – In spite of 37 reported homicides last year and five this month, Mayor John Valdivia reported ‘large decreases’ in crime during 2019.

In a summary issued Friday, Valdivia says homicides were down 6 percent, robbery 7 percent and burglaries dropped 9 percent.

“Our increased police presence through community-oriented policing continued to make San Bernardino a safe city,” he said.

Valdivia added that the city’s streets are being cleaned up by managing the homeless population. Over 1,000 homeless encampments were removed.

San Bernardino County Fire Chief Dan Mejia said that response times to Type 1 emergencies are now under 5-minutes.
