This report is hierarchy based. Crime totals reflect one offense (the most severe) per incident.
These statistics are drawn from the Oakland Police Dept. database. They are unaudited and not used to figure the crime numbers reported to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program. This report is run by the date the crimes occurred. Statistics can be affected by late reporting, the geocoding process, or the reclassification or unfounding of crimes. Because crime reporting and data entry can run behind, all crimes may not be recorded.

Area 6 Homicides – All Investigated Incidents
01 January to 31 March
28 Area 6 — Acting Captain Casey Johnson
29 Part 1 crimes for Q1 for 2024: The two largest increases:
• Aggravated Assaults are up by 13% but are still down by 1% compared to the three-year average.
• Homicides are down by 20% compared to 2023.
• Auto Burglaries are down by 76%. Compared to 2023
In response, Area 6 staff deployed the following measures in an attempt to continue to reduce this rise in violence:
• Continued Data intelligence to identify possible groups or gangs escalating violence.
• I worked closely with the SRS East Teams and Ceasefire, which will continue to focus on individuals driving the violence.
• Prioritized Ceasefire strategies and referrals with requests for outreach and prevention.
• Increased partnership with DVP (Department of Violence Prevention), who will assist with reaching out to involved parties to prevent further violence.
Area 6 — Acting Captain Casey Johnson
30 • Conduct weekly meetings with all stakeholders, law enforcement partners, and city leaders including Councilmember Reid’s office. • Work with local merchants and stakeholders to conduct CPTED evaluations for long-term burglary mitigation solutions. • Run overtime details such as Burglary Suppression to focus on the Hegenberger and 98th Ave corridors.
• Reviewed ShotSpotter activity while gathering intelligence and deploying available resources to those areas.
• Continue to enforce thorough preliminary investigations (Patrol Officers) while working with our Criminal Investigations Division on follow-up requests.
