No drug arrests in Pasadena?

By Dan Abendschein on July 20, 2010 2:53 PM | | Comments (2) |

My editor and I were playing around with Pasadena's crime mapping program this morning and noticed an interesting issue: there are no drug arrests listed in Pasadena. This link shows all the crime in Pasadena for July so far.

Compare that with Glendale from the same period:

All the pink hypodermic needle icons are drug possession arrests. There are none listed for Pasadena, but a whole bunch listed for Glendale.

Does this mean there are no possession arrests in Pasadena? I very much doubt that. It likely means the department is not logging those arrests into their crime map.

It seems the city of Pasadena's police department has for many years kept the actual crime hush-hush.
