Commercial security in Kearny Mesa

In calendar year 2025, SDPD's records show 96 commercial burglaries in Kearny Mesa, the second-highest count of any neighbourhood in its data. Sorrento Valley was first, with 104. Citywide, SDPD recorded 1,014 commercial burglaries that year.

Type: COUNT of offences reported to and recorded by SDPD, not an estimate of offences that occurred. Retrieved: 2 September 2026. The commercial and residential split follows the Penal Code section charged and is SDPD's own classification. SDPD began NIBRS reporting in January 2021, so the basis changes at the 2020 boundary, and SDPD notes the data is updated daily and may change as investigations proceed. SDPD's dataset spells the neighbourhood "Kearney Mesa".

Put the two districts together and they account for 200 of the city's 1,014 recorded commercial burglaries, about one in five. That share is our arithmetic on SDPD's counts, not a figure SDPD publishes.

A count is not a rate. There is no published figure for how many commercial premises sit in each San Diego neighbourhood, so nothing in this data says a business in Kearny Mesa is more likely to be burgled than one anywhere else. A district dense with commercial buildings records more offences for that reason alone. Second-highest count is what the data supports, and all it supports.

The citywide direction is down, not up. SDPD's commercial burglary count fell 34.7% between 2020 and 2025, and 14.3% between 2024 and 2025. The full series, the neighbourhood and division tables and the clearance rates are on our San Diego commercial burglary statistics page; this page does not reprint them.

Our office at 7561 Convoy Ct, San Diego, CA 92111 is inside the neighbourhood the figures above describe. We have traded from Kearny Mesa since 2008, and it is the only place we trade from.

What it changes

A survey in Kearny Mesa is short notice to arrange, and a surveyor who can stand in the building designs from what is there: the sightlines, the light at the hours that matter, the route a cable can actually take. That is the part of a system that a floor plan cannot give anybody.

What it does not

It does not come with an arrival time. No response window is evidenced anywhere on this site, so we do not publish one, here or on any other page. It does not make the district's count a statement about your building, either: the reading above applies to our own premises exactly as it applies to yours.

What we would look at first

The same questions we ask anywhere, in the order that decides the design: what each camera position has to prove, who holds the credentials to each door, whether anybody should be watching during the hours the building is empty, and what the cabling underneath it all will carry. The detail is on commercial security camera installation, commercial access control and remote video monitoring.
