EUGENE, Ore. -- Terry Smith pulls out Eugene crime data from the last five years that show the high number of thefts and the low number of officers.

Either way, Eugene is off the charts.

"We have an auto theft rate that is just outrageous compared to anywhere else in the country," said Smith, an analyst for the Eugene Police Department.

"There we are, next to last," he said, scanning statistics about the number of police officers per capita. "Got any doubt about whether there's enough of anything?"

On Monday, the FBI released preliminary crime statistics for 2008 that show, while crime is down nationwide, crime is up in Eugene -- in every single category.

"Every little bit of police capacity is consumed by what is coming in the door by the public," Smith said.

According to the FBI, Eugene is the only Oregon city that saw an increase in every crime in 2008. The statistics include violent crimes like murders and assaults, as well as other crimes like car theft and robberies.

"We noticed the crime rates started going up," Smith said, "when the county started shutting down the forced work camp and the jail."

Smith thinks the lack of officers and lack of jail beds are the main catalysts behind the increase.

"We're not even on the same planet as the rest of the state or the rest of the nation when it comes to jail beds," he said.

The county's budget committee recently voted down using $3.2 million dollars to re-open 84 county jail beds. Smith said even if the jail did add those beds, the city would still have less jail space than any comparable city in the country.
