ANALYSIS AND POLICY ALTERNATIVES
This report advances the Citywide priority of responsive, trustworthy government as it gives the public data for OPDs staffing, hiring, attrition as well as its recruitment and hiring efforts.
Over a five-year timespan, OPD sworn staffing levels have fluctuated between 749 filled positions on January 1, 2019, to the lower recent level of 696 filled positions as of January 1, 2023. The authorized and funded staffing level based on the Council-adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Budget is 741 sworn positions. This 741-officer staffing level includes 51.72 positions funded by the 2014 Oakland Public Safety and Services Act (Measure Z)1 and 15 officer positions from the 2022 U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Hiring Grant.
Table 1 below provides the sworn staffing data numerically on January 1st of each year, and Figure 1 below, does so visually.

Tables 2a, 2b, and 2c below show the average OPD Communications (911) dispatch response time to calls for service. This data shows the time it takes OPD to respond with an officer or other personnel to each request. During the three-month 1st Quarter period of 2023 OPD has maintained a goal of first answering these calls with dispatchers and operators within 15 seconds (for 95 percent of these calls
2). The data shows the average monthly response time for the last five years. The data is divided into separate tables for Priority One, Priority Two and Priority Three type calls
3. 2 In 2021 OPD was able to first answer each call within 15 seconds for between 57 percent and 72 percent of the calls on average each month. OPD was able to answer each call within the first 16- 20 seconds for between 63 percent and 80 percent each month.
3 Priority Call Types:
One = Situations involving imminent injury to persons and for prevention of violent crime and incidents involving a weapon.
Two = Urgent, but not immediate emergencies including in-progress misdemeanors, in-progress disputes with violence potential, stolen vehicle reports, and just-occurred felonies.
Three = Cold reports and situations where there is no threat of danger to life or property.

Actual and Projected Sworn Staffing
On December 10, 2013, City Council passed Resolution No. 84767 C.M.S., which requires the OPD staffing report to contain an analysis of any deviations between the expected and actual staffing levels, the expected hiring methods, and alternative hiring options for achieving budgeted staffing as quickly as possible. Table 5 below provides actual and projected sworn staffing for a 12-month period. The future months contain an estimated attrition rate of 4 officers per month, based on attrition rates from the last 12-month period and projected staffing. This data is accurate as of March 31, 2023.
