I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"title": "Analysis: BART Community Policing May Help, But Problems Are Endemic",
"headTitle": "News Fix | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The BART Police Department, which came under intense criticism after the shooting deaths of Oscar Grant and Charles Hill, is laying out a new strategy it says will lead to better policing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new plan calls for BART officers and lieutenants to be assigned to smaller geographical areas. Oakland, for example, will constitute one zone, all to itself. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea is to help build up the concept of community policing, where an officer is already familiar with people coming and going in a particular station before being called into action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, KQED's Joshua Johnson talked to \u003cstrong>Golden Gate University Law Professor and former San Francisco Police Commissioner Peter Keane\u003c/strong> about the plan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mr Keane, what kind of a difference is community policing likely to make in how BART operates?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What it does is it decentralizes oversight and the command of police units within a given area. It's not just in one central area, the local areas are sort of off as colonies.

From 2006 through October 2011, the two stations accounted for more than 430 thefts of bicycles or bicycle parts, nearly 17 percent of the thefts in the entire system. Stations in higher-crime areas in Oakland and Richmond had lower theft numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the West Oakland and Richmond stations, reported thefts were dramatically lower, with 64 reports at the West Oakland station and 51 at the Richmond stop. While the Ashby and MacArthur stations in Berkeley and Oakland, respectively, were among those hardest hit by thefts, there were 141 more reported thefts at the two Walnut Creek stations. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It surprises me that Walnut Creek is that high. It's generally a low-crime area and kind of a low-crime demographic,\" Fraser said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Systemwide, the data show a 20 percent increase in the total number of reports during the nearly six-year period, with eight stations – Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre, Dublin/Pleasanton, Ashby, Fremont, North Berkeley, MacArthur and Concord – accounting for half of the thefts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recent meeting of the BART Bicycle Advisory Task Force, BART Deputy Police Chief Ben Fairow identified bike theft as a problem and said bike theft stings, as well as the placement of bike racks in more visible locations, are part of future plans to help decrease theft at stations, according to meeting minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART Police Community Service Officer Lauren LaPlante says BART police often find commuters aren't properly locking their bikes, making it easier for thieves to make off with the bike or any unsecured parts. In order to combat the problem, \"we are currently focusing on a public awareness campaign that may include signs, multimedia demonstrations and traditional 'door to door' or 'bike to bike' style interactions with commuters,\" LaPlante wrote in an e-mail. \"Our main message is about locking bikes securely and self-registration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LaPlante explained that self-registration means owners should keep a record of the make, model, year, style, color, value and serial number of their bikes and give this information to police to ensure that bikes can be identified if recovered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Downtown Berkeley BART bike station, head mechanic Adam Hunt recommended, at a minimum, using a U-lock and cable combination. \"A couple of blows with a hammer will pretty much take care of a padlock,\" he said. Hunt also says lights, wheels, seats, mileage meters and any other loose parts on a bike are easy pickings for thieves if they are not properly secured. Hunt suspects that thieves strip unsecured parts from bikes more often than they make off with the bike, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since losing a bike and a seat, Fraser uses a U-lock and cable combination to secure his bike when he leaves it at the station, and he commutes on a bike he values at $300 instead of his $1,000 road bike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Honestly, I'm just kind of zen about it,\" Fraser said. \"You don't lock your best bike up, which is annoying to people with only one bike and who want a nice bike to commute on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At certain stations, bike commuters can take advantage of bike lockers and bike stations. The Downtown Berkeley bike station offers free valet bike parking during the day and also houses a 24-hour self-storage facility that charges 3 cents per hour from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 1 cent per hour at all other times, \u003ca href=\"http://bartbikestation.com/services.php\" target=\"_blank\">according to the website\u003c/a>. Since opening about two years ago, Hunt estimates that 25,000 bikes have cycled through the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On the enforcement side,\" LaPlante wrote, \"our patrol units are well aware that BART stations are a potential location for bike theft and they remain vigilant as often as they can. Patrol units are regularly updated on the crimes that are occurring around the system so they can know where to focus their attention.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While acknowledging that underreporting might skew figures, LaPlante emphasized that \"our statistics are the primary indication of problem locations around our system\" and that \"reporting stolen bikes is very important to our response and we encourage it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/02/Dashboard_1.png\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55787\" title=\"Dashboard_1\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/02/Dashboard_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"670\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

From 2006 through October 2011, the two stations accounted for more than 430 thefts of bicycles or bicycle parts, nearly 17 percent of the thefts in the entire system. Stations in higher-crime areas in Oakland and Richmond had lower theft numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

While the Ashby and MacArthur stations in Berkeley and Oakland, respectively, were among those hardest hit by thefts, there were 141 more reported thefts at the two Walnut Creek stations. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It surprises me that Walnut Creek is that high. It's generally a low-crime area and kind of a low-crime demographic,\" Fraser said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Systemwide, the data show a 20 percent increase in the total number of reports during the nearly six-year period, with eight stations – Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre, Dublin/Pleasanton, Ashby, Fremont, North Berkeley, MacArthur and Concord – accounting for half of the thefts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recent meeting of the BART Bicycle Advisory Task Force, BART Deputy Police Chief Ben Fairow identified bike theft as a problem and said bike theft stings, as well as the placement of bike racks in more visible locations, are part of future plans to help decrease theft at stations, according to meeting minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART Police Community Service Officer Lauren LaPlante says BART police often find commuters aren't properly locking their bikes, making it easier for thieves to make off with the bike or any unsecured parts. In order to combat the problem, \"we are currently focusing on a public awareness campaign that may include signs, multimedia demonstrations and traditional 'door to door' or 'bike to bike' style interactions with commuters,\" LaPlante wrote in an e-mail. \"Our main message is about locking bikes securely and self-registration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LaPlante explained that self-registration means owners should keep a record of the make, model, year, style, color, value and serial number of their bikes and give this information to police to ensure that bikes can be identified if recovered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Downtown Berkeley BART bike station, head mechanic Adam Hunt recommended, at a minimum, using a U-lock and cable combination. \"A couple of blows with a hammer will pretty much take care of a padlock,\" he said. Hunt also says lights, wheels, seats, mileage meters and any other loose parts on a bike are easy pickings for thieves if they are not properly secured. Hunt suspects that thieves strip unsecured parts from bikes more often than they make off with the bike, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since losing a bike and a seat, Fraser uses a U-lock and cable combination to secure his bike when he leaves it at the station, and he commutes on a bike he values at $300 instead of his $1,000 road bike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Honestly, I'm just kind of zen about it,\" Fraser said. \"You don't lock your best bike up, which is annoying to people with only one bike and who want a nice bike to commute on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At certain stations, bike commuters can take advantage of bike lockers and bike stations. The Downtown Berkeley bike station offers free valet bike parking during the day and also houses a 24-hour self-storage facility that charges 3 cents per hour from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 1 cent per hour at all other times, \u003ca href=\"http://bartbikestation.com/services.php\" target=\"_blank\">according to the website\u003c/a>. Since opening about two years ago, Hunt estimates that 25,000 bikes have cycled through the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On the enforcement side,\" LaPlante wrote, \"our patrol units are well aware that BART stations are a potential location for bike theft and they remain vigilant as often as they can. Patrol units are regularly updated on the crimes that are occurring around the system so they can know where to focus their attention.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While acknowledging that underreporting might skew figures, LaPlante emphasized that \"our statistics are the primary indication of problem locations around our system\" and that \"reporting stolen bikes is very important to our response and we encourage it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/02/Dashboard_1.png\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-55787\" title=\"Dashboard_1\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/02/Dashboard_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"670\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

However, the Authority has not fully addressed questions about the accuracy of the model’s long-term projections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• The Authority may have compromised providing effective oversight by placing the largest portion of the program’s planning, construction and oversight in the hands of contractors—in particular, the entity that manages the program (Program Manager).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• By relinquishing significant control to the Program Manager, the Authority may not be aware of or have addressed areas of significant concern that could impact the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Similar to our prior audit, we found over 50 errors and inconsistencies of various types in three Program Manager’s monthly progress reports we reviewed and noted several significant discrepancies between the regional contractors’ reports and those of the Program Manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>• The Authority inappropriately split its information technology (IT) services valued at $3.1 million into multiple contracts—rather than competitively bid the contract—when it renewed its IT services.

The Authority should continue to fill positions to decrease its reliance on contractors and ensure its Program Manager’s progress reports are consistent, accurate, and useful.
