The Voice of San Diego compared the crime stats issued by the SDPD against the numbers used by SD Police Chief William Lansdowne in his testimony before a city council committee in February. Voice found that Lansdowne made five misstatements of fact, all of which presented a rosier picture than reality warranted. Statements involved lower overall crime rates and lower property crime rates, as well as information about department response times.
