Safety Overview: What to Know

Violent-crime baseline (per 1,000 residents, 2024)

SDPD’s neighborhood table shows Homicide 0.0, Kidnapping 0.2, Sexual Assault 0.0, Aggravated Assault 1.7, Simple Assault 3.8, Intimidation 0.8 in Cherokee Point—a relatively modest baseline that still benefits from layered deterrence.

Property-crime context

SDPD’s 2024 “Crimes Against Property” table details neighborhood rates across robbery, burglary, larceny, vehicle theft, and more—useful benchmarks when sizing camera zones, lighting, and access control near alleys and parking courts.

Region-wide trend

Countywide, 2024 saw the annualized property-crime rate trend down vs. 2023, per SANDAG—good news, but package theft and vehicle break-ins still occur in dense, transit-served corridors.

How safe is Cherokee Point right now?

SDPD’s 2024 neighborhood table shows low-to-moderate rates for violent-crime categories (e.g., Aggravated Assault ~1.7/1,000; Simple Assault ~3.8/1,000). That’s a workable baseline—layered systems reduce risk and improve evidence quality.

Yes. We use privacy masking and careful lens selection so coverage stays on your entries, drive, and yard lines—not public rights-of-way.

Can you secure ADUs, shared driveways, or gated lots?

Absolutely. We support multi-tenant layouts with role-based access, temporary codes, and camera zones for shared spaces.

Do you help small businesses in the corridor?

Yes—alarm/video integration, role-based access control, and open/close reporting fit retail, auto, and service spaces along City Heights arterials.
