Maybe it is not particularly high crime because police get 28% of the budget.

Mountain View police took more action against drug abuse than against robbery, rape, aggravated assault, and homicide combined by over a factor of 2. [0] They only cleared 60% of those violent crimes.

Maybe they should redirect more of their budget to investigating violent crime. What's the evidence for your conclusion?
