turn over there was no turn over during this reporting period. i worked with local management team on a recognition program. as a result, security officers are recognized. in a form of i gift card 50 or 100 dollars for attendance and professionalism. we have an internal mentoring program we link security personnel who we deem said has the potential with career professionals provide them with guidance on career options. we have 2 in the last phase of the hiring process. one with contare costa sheriff's department and the other with sfpd. we are cultivating an environment individuals reach potential. post staffing allied staffing resulted in 97%. post and testing allied 87%. this slide is the sfpd crime stats. we are analyzing the stats regular low to get a pulse for crimes that are committed within the district. in addition, our stats which cover short low in several stats before you informs our decisionmaking as to our security posture. larson sfpd is respect reporting 106% increase. and a quarter of 1% or total larceny thefts in the crime stats. talk about part one. we had 3 larceny thefts and 2 electric scoot ands a theft of a vehicle the vehicle was unknown individual exiting i80 to i bus ram and the deck where the individual left the car abandon the vehicle and exited transit center. one robbery and -- involving 1 subject robbed a victim of sneakers on the bus deck. what i'm proud about is that the coordination with sfpd. skurth and security operations team. the victim flagged down a security personnel that individual followed profit cal. called back at this time operation's center. and the staff and security center was over utilized the security systems to issue able to quickly identify the individual. the individual subsequently went in the upon bathroom, tried to change clothes. where the security operators was able to relay the information to sfpd and the individual was arrested. we have one burglar in fields coffee. apparently, their night time crew did not follow closing xroers left one of the doors unsecure. part 2 crimes 6 vandalisms/graffiti. minor. and 3 simple assaults. and simple assaults are mere touching of an individual. nothing more and not like an aggravated assault. next slide, we continue to deal with vag rans and he suspicious persons daily. as a result, sfpd and personnel increased their presence around the bathrooms and stair legal and we have an up tick of pedestrian foot traffic with tuesday and thursday's. we are adjusting our security posture to meet those demands. we had 23 reports taken 2 citations and 4 arrests that was made during this reporting period. part one crimes 25% from last period in 2021. part 2 crimes up 200%. quality of life issues up 87%. respects and arrests up 125%.

any questions for rodney on the security report? >> director shaw. sorry. my cat is going crazy. i have a couple of simple questions. what is the difference with burglar and larceny theft? and quality of life? >> the burglar is the entering of a dwelling. and larceny neil is just a mere taking of a bicycle or cell phone, et cetera . and the quality of life issues is something common in the industry that you have part one crimes and serious and part 2 are less series and other not crimes but activities you put that quality of life in that bucket. >> if that makes sense. you can have the met tricks of up with that like trespassing. i don't know if now is a good time to ask, i know in the budget we talked about the security system and the cost of security. i wondered, you mentioned the systems and contractses that are coming uppism wonder if you can talk a bit. i don't know now or during the budget what the costs are and what we are doing to try to minimize those. costs. >> if you
