Christopher Bolton, does not specifically document gun-related crimes or include addresses where crimes occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">\u003cstrong>Oakland Crime\u003c/strong>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/24/oakland-residents-plead-pay-attention-to-killings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Residents Plead: Pay Attention to Killings\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Bolton says the city’s public crime data is sometimes unreliable. “One of our challenges is easily and accurately reporting statistics,” Bolton said. “It should be easy for someone to obtain data for crimes that happen close to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department is currently updating its case management system and hopes to put more accurate crime data online soon, Bolton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, digging into the \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/OPD/s/Statistics/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Police Department database\u003c/a>, KQED created this map of crime reports during the last five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How to Use the Map\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a police officer responds to a crime, and sometimes when a 911 operator takes a crime-related call, they file a report. The map draws from a raw database of crimes from those reports. KQED filtered for violations involving firearms, ammunition, shootings, armed robberies and homicides.

For instance, a convicted felon with a firearm who committed an armed robbery could involve two reported crimes – one for illegal possession of a firearm and another for robbery with a firearm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This map doesn’t represent all of Oakland’s gun-related homicides in 2012 because of how the Oakland Police Department filed its cases. (Some gun-related crimes are classified as simply “homicides,” and thus do not show up in the data.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some cases also have what may appear to be contradictory or redundant charges. A single case may involve a violation listed as “shoot at unoccupied dwelling/vehicle/etc” and a separate listing of “shoot at an occupied dwelling/vehicle/etc” for the same case. In an email response to a KQED query about such case reports, the Oakland Police Department wrote that “these are all valid, and accurately categorized because of the nature of incident. Each incident requires careful review of the Narrative to better understand the whole picture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cases with “amended” or “SC” mean that someone filed a supplemental report after the initial report was filed.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The map draws from a raw database of crimes from those reports. KQED filtered for violations involving firearms, ammunition, shootings, armed robberies and homicides. These reports do not indicate whether any charges were brought for the crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_87372\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/01/guns201301141.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-87372\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/01/guns201301141-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"(Scott Olson/Getty Images)\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Scott Olson/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Each dot on the map represents one case, although each case may consist of several crimes. For instance, a convicted felon with a firearm who committed an armed robbery could involve two reported crimes – one for illegal possession of a firearm and another for robbery with a firearm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This map doesn’t represent all of Oakland’s gun-related homicides in 2012 because of how the Oakland Police Department filed its cases. (Some gun-related crimes are classified as simply “homicides,” and thus do not show up in the data.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some cases also have what may appear to be contradictory or redundant charges. A single case may involve a violation listed as “shoot at unoccupied dwelling/vehicle/etc” and a separate listing of “shoot at an occupied dwelling/vehicle/etc” for the same case. In an email response to a KQED query about such case reports, the Oakland Police Department wrote that “these are all valid, and accurately categorized because of the nature of incident. Each incident requires careful review of the Narrative to better understand the whole picture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cases with “amended” or “SC” mean that someone filed a supplemental report after the initial report was filed.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The letter was among hundreds from Christopher’s classmates. (Deborah Svoboda/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But Christopher died five months before graduation day, and in the end, it was Grisham who walked across the stage in his place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Christopher was killed, his classmates tried to return things Christopher had given them — $5, pencils, even the shirt off his back that he gave to a classmate so she wouldn’t get in trouble for not having the proper uniform. “She tried to give me the shirt back, I told her to keep it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Grisham often comforts the mothers who have lost their children in shootings. When she heard about the massacre at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Conn., Grisham says her heart went out to the victims’ parents. She knows the questions that haunt the parents of kids killed by gunfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>” ‘Did my baby suffer, how many times was my baby shot, did they just gun my baby down?’ ” she said. “Those are in the back of a lot of people’s minds if they weren’t actually there, they try to imagine the situation and I think that bears a lot more on your process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as hard as it was to be there when her child died, there are some questions she doesn’t need to ask. Christopher was shot in the temple and jaw. “I know he went instantly — even on his death certificate it said he died instantly. I held his hand and told him that I love him whether he could hear me or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Grisham, it’s the little things that trigger her pain. Recently, when she sat down to undo her braids, she expected Christopher to check up on her as he always did. “And he didn’t come, and I cried and cried,” she said. “And it’s probably going to be like that forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bratton’s hire, part of a $250,000 contract retaining him and his consulting firm, was finalized by the Oakland City Council 7-1 after a nine-hour meeting plus four hours of public comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bratton is a policing superstar who is widely credited with achieving sharp crime reductions in New York and LA, the country’s two most populous cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some civil rights groups have criticized his reliance on “stop-and-frisk,” in which officers detain individuals they deem to be suspicious and search them for guns, and which has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=stop+and+frisk+racial+profiling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">linked to racial profiling\u003c/a> by critics.

Edited transcript…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: Last night’s council meeting was emotionally charged and a lot of the anger had to do with the mistrust that many Oakland residents feel when it comes to law enforcement. How does the police department begin to change that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>William Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well, one of the issues we had to deal with in Los Angeles when I was appointed chief in 2002 was a pretty deteriorating relationship between the department and the city’s African-American community. Actually it was described as open warfare.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>You have to ensure that it’s being done compassionately and always remember you are dealing with human beings\u003c/strong>.”\n\u003cp>–William Bratton on stop-and-frisk\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When I left seven years later, all of the policies, procedures and changes that had been put in place resulted in not only crime declines every year, but polling indicated more than two-thirds of the city’s African American community and its growing Latino population thought the department was doing a good to very good job. I understand those numbers have actually increased since I left several years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the situation in Oakland, which is well-known, is about the distrust of a large part of the population and the feeling of many members of the police department that they are not respected or trusted. That was successfully addressed in Los Angeles and I see no reason why the leadership in Oakland, the mayor, the city manager, the council and the police chief would not be able to address it by reducing crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The stop-and-frisk policies that you’ve promoted in the past are of course controversial. And some Oakland residents are saying this tactic invites racial profiling. What do you say to them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: The issue of stop-and-frisk is certainly of great concern in Oakland and I’m not familiar enough with the city at this stage to really comment on your specific issue. I’m certainly aware of it in New York, where it has been a very contentious the last year or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stop-and-frisk is an area where the police have to be very, very careful to ensure that they’re in compliance with the constitutional guidelines that authorize it, in \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0392_0001_ZS.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Terry v. Ohio. \u003c/a>And in dealing with the use of stop-and-frisk it is very important to address it in much the same way as the racial profiling issues of the 90s had to be addressed by police. Stop-and- frisk is the racial profiling issue, if you will, of the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have to ensure you are always using that tool constitutionally, meaning you have to comply with the very stringent guidelines. That can be done through training and supervision. You have to ensure that it’s being done compassionately and always remember you are dealing with human beings. And you want to ensure that it’s done consistently, that you don’t apply it separately in a poor neighborhood and a rich neighborhood, you don’t interact with blacks differently than you do with whites or Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issues in Oakland — I’ve not been there, I will soon be there. But stop-and-frisk is I think an issue that can be addressed in a way in which both sides are mollified. The police need it as a tool. The community just wants to ensure that the tool is not used in an inappropriate way.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>You can gripe and groan as much as you want; it is a fact of life\u003c/strong>.”\n\u003cp>–Bratton on the consent decree OPD must comply with \u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Violent crime is getting the most attention in Oakland right now but many other types of offenses have spiked too. For example, auto burglaries have nearly doubled last year. Is there a quick way for the city to get a handle on that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: We’re being asked to do two things: look at the crime problem and develop crime strategies with the Oakland police department based on the priorities they feel need to be addressed. So if the issue of car burglaries is one of those then we’ll certainly be willing to add expertise to that of the Oakland PD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second area that we’re being asked to concentrate on is the enhancement of the CompStat process. This is a system I created in New York in the 90s, the management data accountability system, in which you use crime stats to identify very quickly where you need to put your cops. You use it as an accountability tool to ensure that your leaders and your managers know what’s going on in their respective areas and are dealing with them effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if not — why not? It’s a system that has been used extraordinarily effectively in New York and Los Angeles. New York is now into its twentieth year of crime decline, with about an 80 percent decline. And LA is into its tenth year, with a 55-60 percent decline. We’re hopeful that the system can be applied in a very similar, successful way in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Right now Oakland’s police force has about 25 percent fewer officers than it did a couple of years ago. How big a factor do you think that reduction might be playing in the crime problem?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well, there’s no denying that a loss of 25 percent of your force is going to have an impact. Whether it’s in visibility, response to calls, or in the ability to have specialized units that can focus on specialized crime problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the reality is you have what you have and to try and use them to the best effect possible. That’s where prioritization and focus come into play. The importance of the CompStat system is it really gives you a sense of where you’re getting the biggest bang for the buck with the personnel you do have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, some of my colleagues did a study there in 2006, some of which has just recently been implemented by Chief Jordan: the geographic distribution system with five police precincts. Part of our challenge will be coming in to very quickly get a sense of what the current circumstances are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Oakland police are making far fewer stops and arrests than they did a few years ago. Some officers say that that’s because of all the paperwork and recordkeeping required and because every stop they make is under careful scrutiny by a federal court. Is that concern legitimate?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well it’s exactly the same concern that was voiced in 2002, when I went to the LAPD. And we got the federal consent decree implemented and we got crime down by about 60 percent. We got the cops out of their cars and motivated once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So hopefully working with Chief Jordan gives me the opportunity to provide some thoughts about experiences elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is what it is. You have a federal consent decree that was brought about because of the sense that the department was not performing appropriately. It’s not going to go away until certain elements are complied with. And you can gripe and groan as much as you want; it is a fact of life. Once you face that reality … in L.A., we made it one of the top three priorities to get it done, get it over with and move on. I’ll have a little better understanding once I get to Oakland, but I have to believe it is one of the top priorities of the city administration to get the thing complied with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: A year or so ago you described the OPD situation as a ‘perfect storm of bad.’ What did you mean by that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: It’s that you had crises everywhere you looked. You had a crime crisis, a budget crisis, a political crisis, a crisis around the consent decree. I happen to actually see crises as an opportunity, so I have never gone into an environment that was not in crisis. And if there was not one, then I’d create one, because I think crises accelerates the need for change and change itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So your perfect storm is very similar to the perfect storm that we find here in Detroit right now. It was certainly the perfect storm I found in New York in 1990 with the transit police and in 1994 in the city of New York. And there was no place that had more issues than Los Angeles in 2002. Out of crises comes opportunity and if you’re an optimist like I am then the bigger the crises, the bigger the opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Whether it’s in visibility, response to calls, or in the ability to have specialized units that can focus on specialized crime problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the reality is you have what you have and to try and use them to the best effect possible. That’s where prioritization and focus come into play. The importance of the CompStat system is it really gives you a sense of where you’re getting the biggest bang for the buck with the personnel you do have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, some of my colleagues did a study there in 2006, some of which has just recently been implemented by Chief Jordan: the geographic distribution system with five police precincts. Part of our challenge will be coming in to very quickly get a sense of what the current circumstances are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Oakland police are making far fewer stops and arrests than they did a few years ago. Some officers say that that’s because of all the paperwork and recordkeeping required and because every stop they make is under careful scrutiny by a federal court. Is that concern legitimate?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well it’s exactly the same concern that was voiced in 2002, when I went to the LAPD. And we got the federal consent decree implemented and we got crime down by about 60 percent. We got the cops out of their cars and motivated once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So hopefully working with Chief Jordan gives me the opportunity to provide some thoughts about experiences elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is what it is. You have a federal consent decree that was brought about because of the sense that the department was not performing appropriately. It’s not going to go away until certain elements are complied with. And you can gripe and groan as much as you want; it is a fact of life. Once you face that reality … in L.A., we made it one of the top three priorities to get it done, get it over with and move on. I’ll have a little better understanding once I get to Oakland, but I have to believe it is one of the top priorities of the city administration to get the thing complied with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: A year or so ago you described the OPD situation as a ‘perfect storm of bad.’ What did you mean by that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: It’s that you had crises everywhere you looked. You had a crime crisis, a budget crisis, a political crisis, a crisis around the consent decree. I happen to actually see crises as an opportunity, so I have never gone into an environment that was not in crisis. And if there was not one, then I’d create one, because I think crises accelerates the need for change and change itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Those reported assaults, all from the Corcoran unit, represent a third of the 36 documented cases of sexual abuse and molestation in the past four years at the state’s five developmental centers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/558533-cdph-statement-on-sonoma-developmental-center.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a press release\u003c/a>, the state Department of Public Health said it “will closely monitor each residential unit to ensure that all clients are protected from harm and the delivery of healthcare to this vulnerable population complies with both federal and state requirements.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state Department of Public Health regulates California’s five developmental centers, which house 1,600 patients in Sonoma, Tulare, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma has gone through two executive directors the past year; it is now looking for a permanent replacement. State officials have contracted with outside experts to upgrade care at the institution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The well-being of our residents at Sonoma Developmental Center is a top priority and the department has made critical improvements in the (intermediate care facility), but significant work still needs to be done,” Delgadillo said in a written statement Friday.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
