RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends That The City Council Receive An Informational Report From The Oakland Police Department (OPD) On Crime, Crime Trends And Crime Reduction Activities in the City of Oakland.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to provide the public with the information that should have been presented at the July 11, 2023, Oakland City Council Public Safety Committee (PSC) meeting for January 2023 through May 2023. Attachment A provides the agenda report for the time period January 2023 through May 2023, and Attachment B includes the associated presentation. More current information will be provided in a supplemental report to this item in advance of the September 12, 2023 PSC meeting.
BACKGROUND / LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
In 2013, the PSC requested a quarterly report from OPD on crime trends and crime reduction activities in the City of Oakland. This report was provided four times a year and updated to include the preceding three-month period. At the Rules Committee meeting on March 23, 2023, there was a motion made and approved to change the reports’ frequency from quarterly to biannual.
On July 11, 2023, the Oakland City Council Public Safety Committee (PSC) was to receive a report titled “OPD Crime Report
.” The report was to contain crime data from the Oakland Police Department (OPD) from January 2023 through May 2023; however, the report and presentation included in the package did not include 2023 data, rather the report addressed crime data and trends for January 2022 through December 2022.
This item was scheduled at the July 20, 2023, Rules and Legislation Committee meeting so that the public and the Council may have the opportunity to review and discuss the information contained in the report at a future meeting of the PSC.
