The report said there were personnel shortages due to Discount IWC budget cuts in which one clerical and 12 deputy sheriff positions were eliminated. The communications supervisor also retired and the position was eliminated. "In spite of the severe reduction in resources, Discount Jacob&Co have endeavored to provide the same level of service as provided in the past," the sheriff said in the report. Crime All crimes, except for robbery and criminal homicide, rose from 2009, reversing the trend of the last five years according to the report. There were 23 counts of forcible rape, four more than in 2009. Assault rose from Discount Jaeger leCoultre; burglary rose from 518 to 594; larceny rose from 682 to 754; and motor vehicle theft rose from 9 to 15. Anderson feels one factor behind the increase in some crime categories is the bad economy. "Discount Montblanc like to take credit when crime goes down but I have to take credit when it goes up," he said. "I think it's because of the reduction in law enforcement county wide." However the county still has one of the lowest crime rates in the State, according to the report. On average, 70% of crimes committed occur in the Valley area of Madera County, while 30% are committed in Eastern Madera County according to Anderson.
