Domain Awareness Center opponents have pointed to the danger the system could be used to track residents’ daily activities and that it could have a disproportionate impact on people of color living in East and West Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council is scheduled to consider the center Tuesday night. In \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/210654130/Open-Letter-From-Mayor-Quan-Regarding-Domain-Awareness-Center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an open letter \u003c/a>released Tuesday afternoon, Quan argues the city does indeed need a centralized information system to help respond to emergencies like the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and the 1991 East Bay Hills firestorm. She cites the example of \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/police/documents/webcontent/dowd004006.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland police Officer John Grubensky\u003c/a>, who died while trying to lead residents to safety during the fire:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>… As they fled downhill on Charing Cross Road, the officer and ten residents became stuck where the road had narrowed and become impassable with abandoned cars. All eleven people perished. However, they might have survived if the officer had better, quicker, broader access to information about the safest routes out. This tragic toll is just one example that underscores the urgency of our work to prepare and organize our resources to more effectively respond when another disaster strikes.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But Quan also notes the high level of discontent expressed at a series of public meetings on the Domain Awareness Center and suggests a change in approach: first, a new effort to draft policies that would address concerns about privacy and who has access to the system’s data; and second, scaling back the launch of the center so that it operates at first only on Port of Oakland property:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>… We will hold off on the aspects of the project that would include cameras on city streets. We will return to those elements separately, and only when the advisory committee is satisfied that the safeguards we’ve built together with the community are sturdy and enforceable. Any new camera systems, or any other additions to the Center, would have to be proposed separately and go to our City Council in a public process.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>For now, Quan’s proposal is just that — an idea that the City Council will need to go along with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Linda Lye, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, told the San Francisco Chronicle’s Will Kane she thinks Quan’s move is a step in the right direction but the city needs to go further to alleviate concern over the center:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she was pleased to hear Quan was asking the City Council to slow down the process and limit the surveillance to just the port, Lye worried the city would still reach the same result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We endorse the approach of dialing it back, but we want to make sure that the system truly reflects that principle,” Lye said. “One of the main concerns with surveillance systems is mission creep: when it is advertised for one purpose and then used for something else.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Here’s Quan’s “open letter”:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"doc_71230\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/210654130/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Domain Awareness Center opponents have pointed to the danger the system could be used to track residents’ daily activities and that it could have a disproportionate impact on people of color living in East and West Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council is scheduled to consider the center Tuesday night. In \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/210654130/Open-Letter-From-Mayor-Quan-Regarding-Domain-Awareness-Center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an open letter \u003c/a>released Tuesday afternoon, Quan argues the city does indeed need a centralized information system to help respond to emergencies like the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and the 1991 East Bay Hills firestorm. She cites the example of \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/police/documents/webcontent/dowd004006.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland police Officer John Grubensky\u003c/a>, who died while trying to lead residents to safety during the fire:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>… As they fled downhill on Charing Cross Road, the officer and ten residents became stuck where the road had narrowed and become impassable with abandoned cars. All eleven people perished. However, they might have survived if the officer had better, quicker, broader access to information about the safest routes out. This tragic toll is just one example that underscores the urgency of our work to prepare and organize our resources to more effectively respond when another disaster strikes.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But Quan also notes the high level of discontent expressed at a series of public meetings on the Domain Awareness Center and suggests a change in approach: first, a new effort to draft policies that would address concerns about privacy and who has access to the system’s data; and second, scaling back the launch of the center so that it operates at first only on Port of Oakland property:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>… We will hold off on the aspects of the project that would include cameras on city streets. We will return to those elements separately, and only when the advisory committee is satisfied that the safeguards we’ve built together with the community are sturdy and enforceable. Any new camera systems, or any other additions to the Center, would have to be proposed separately and go to our City Council in a public process.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>For now, Quan’s proposal is just that — an idea that the City Council will need to go along with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Linda Lye, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, told the San Francisco Chronicle’s Will Kane she thinks Quan’s move is a step in the right direction but the city needs to go further to alleviate concern over the center:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While she was pleased to hear Quan was asking the City Council to slow down the process and limit the surveillance to just the port, Lye worried the city would still reach the same result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We endorse the approach of dialing it back, but we want to make sure that the system truly reflects that principle,” Lye said. “One of the main concerns with surveillance systems is mission creep: when it is advertised for one purpose and then used for something else.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Here’s Quan’s “open letter”:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"doc_71230\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/210654130/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He walked around Oakland, observing the makeshift lean-tos and shelters homeless people had created, and he documented them with iPhone photos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I became enamored of them,” he said, while flipping through the photos. So he gathered some materials and got to work building a structure of his own, to see if he could build a home from found materials for no money. (He actually ended up spending about $40 on that home.) Since then, Kloehn has built about 10 tiny homes for homeless people, and he’s ramping up his operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_127167\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/IMG_4661-copy.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-127167\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/IMG_4661-copy-640x426.jpg\" alt=\"Kloehn fits a wooden gutter on the exterior of a tiny house he refers to as the 'Uni-bomber Shack.'

So he gathered some materials and got to work building a structure of his own, to see if he could build a home from found materials for no money.

Backers say it’ll help the crime-ridden city deal with murder and even prevent it. Activists fear it’ll become a tool for \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/the-real-purpose-of-oaklands-surveillance-center/Content?oid=3789230\">spying\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While these two sides disagree, starkly, they both assume one thing: that the surveillance center will actually work. But is that true? Experts in Silicon Valley’s surveillance industry say it’s more like science fiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the money for the surveillance center is coming from the Department of Homeland Security. It’s an anti-terrorism grant to protect the harbor. So City Councilman Dan Kalb didn’t get what all the controversy was about, if the center was just going to pull camera feeds from the port.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a hearing, he asked the rhetorical question: “This is all on port property, including airport, all of port property, right? It’s not the rest of the city?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City staff explained it is the rest of the city — thousands of live feeds, even from the Coliseum. But no cameras would go into people’s living rooms. So Kalb gave the nod. “All right, sounds good to me!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That exchange happened at a council meeting a few months back. The center has been five years in the making. It’s supposed to go live this summer. But it doesn’t sound so good to experts in Silicon Valley who specialize in surveillance. With just a cursory look at the project, they say, the city is making some textbook mistakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Data overload\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take data overload.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you start by grabbing whatever data you can find and then hoping to get insight out of it later, it becomes a very drawn-out expensive process,” says Feris Rifai, “and frankly a bit of an upside-down approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rifai is CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://www.baydynamics.com/\">Bay Dynamics\u003c/a>, a San Francisco company that builds big data tools for big banks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials paint this futuristic picture of supercomputers pulling in feeds from cameras, gunshot detectors, license plate readers, 911 calls, criminal records. Analysts sitting in front of giant monitors will scan data round the clock, cross-reference GPS coordinates and email real-time reports to first responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/133435454&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds very familiar, like the sci-fi hit “\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_Report_%28film%29\">Minority Report\u003c/a>” with Tom Cruise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollywood aside, back in Oakland, the city’s chief technology officer Ahsan Baig sums up the vision: “From child abduction to robbery to overturned truck, this whole process is going to automate this whole thing. So everything is going to be available right in front of you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rifai says big data doesn’t work that way. It takes some focus. And given the lack of focus in Oakland, several experts say there’s a good chance the city will spend a lot more than $1.25 million (the amount from Homeland Security).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From our experience with organizations collecting everything and then trying to figure out what to do with it,” Firai says, “it is going to be a costly project beyond what the federal money they’ve secured provides them today. So that’s our prediction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Basic contradictions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cost isn’t the only issue. There’s a lot of confusion in the core team — even with simple things like hours of operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Port of Oakland is not staffed 24 hours a day. As Chief Michael O’Brien explains, if an alarm goes off, say at 4 a.m., no one’s there to check if it’s an organized crime gang or a stray cat. With a central hub, police and firefighters can be the port’s eyes. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> ‘People look for technological silver bullets to solve problems, when often times there are very serious policy, legal and societal issues that are really the problems.’ \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>O’Brien says, “The plan is to have a 24/7 operation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the city’s chief of emergency services, Renee Domingo, assumes the opposite. “We envision that there’s a dark period when there’s nothing going on and rather than having 24 hours, we’re trying to be as efficient as possible in terms of the staffing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That dark period would be around 4 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In-house expertise\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Domingo says the surveillance center is one of the most ambitious projects Oakland has undertaken to reduce crime. Everyone wants a safer city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she’s still not sure if the top dog on this project will be a high-ranking public official or a private contractor. Domingo says employees from the city will make up most of the staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They could be record-keepers, they could be emergency planning coordinators, maybe retired dispatch people — people that have worked in dispatch centers,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael McNerney, a former cyber-advisor at the Department of Defense, thinks that is practically infeasible. “Knowing what you’re looking at is a specialized skill set. So these things tend to work best when you have specialized professionals who do this for a living.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McNerney, now based in Palo Alto, is a fan of surveillance centers. He’s helped build and maintain military ones. But without that high-tech skills set on hand, he says, tried and true public safety tools like street patrol or education might be better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People look for technological silver bullets to solve problems, when often times there are very serious policy, legal and societal issues that are really the problems,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s chief technology officer, Baig, says so far the plan is on target and the next phase will fall into place as soon as the city can decide on a private contractor.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Backers say it’ll help the crime-ridden city deal with murder and even prevent it. Activists fear it’ll become a tool for \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/the-real-purpose-of-oaklands-surveillance-center/Content?oid=3789230\">spying\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While these two sides disagree, starkly, they both assume one thing: that the surveillance center will actually work. But is that true? Experts in Silicon Valley’s surveillance industry say it’s more like science fiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the money for the surveillance center is coming from the Department of Homeland Security. It’s an anti-terrorism grant to protect the harbor. So City Councilman Dan Kalb didn’t get what all the controversy was about, if the center was just going to pull camera feeds from the port.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a hearing, he asked the rhetorical question: “This is all on port property, including airport, all of port property, right? It’s not the rest of the city?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But no cameras would go into people’s living rooms. So Kalb gave the nod. “All right, sounds good to me!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That exchange happened at a council meeting a few months back. The center has been five years in the making. It’s supposed to go live this summer. But it doesn’t sound so good to experts in Silicon Valley who specialize in surveillance. With just a cursory look at the project, they say, the city is making some textbook mistakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Data overload\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take data overload.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you start by grabbing whatever data you can find and then hoping to get insight out of it later, it becomes a very drawn-out expensive process,” says Feris Rifai, “and frankly a bit of an upside-down approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rifai is CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://www.baydynamics.com/\">Bay Dynamics\u003c/a>, a San Francisco company that builds big data tools for big banks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials paint this futuristic picture of supercomputers pulling in feeds from cameras, gunshot detectors, license plate readers, 911 calls, criminal records. Analysts sitting in front of giant monitors will scan data round the clock, cross-reference GPS coordinates and email real-time reports to first responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/133435454&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds very familiar, like the sci-fi hit “\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_Report_%28film%29\">Minority Report\u003c/a>” with Tom Cruise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollywood aside, back in Oakland, the city’s chief technology officer Ahsan Baig sums up the vision: “From child abduction to robbery to overturned truck, this whole process is going to automate this whole thing. So everything is going to be available right in front of you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rifai says big data doesn’t work that way. It takes some focus. And given the lack of focus in Oakland, several experts say there’s a good chance the city will spend a lot more than $1.25 million (the amount from Homeland Security).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From our experience with organizations collecting everything and then trying to figure out what to do with it,” Firai says, “it is going to be a costly project beyond what the federal money they’ve secured provides them today. So that’s our prediction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Basic contradictions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cost isn’t the only issue. There’s a lot of confusion in the core team — even with simple things like hours of operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Port of Oakland is not staffed 24 hours a day. As Chief Michael O’Brien explains, if an alarm goes off, say at 4 a.m., no one’s there to check if it’s an organized crime gang or a stray cat. With a central hub, police and firefighters can be the port’s eyes. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> ‘People look for technological silver bullets to solve problems, when often times there are very serious policy, legal and societal issues that are really the problems.’ \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>O’Brien says, “The plan is to have a 24/7 operation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the city’s chief of emergency services, Renee Domingo, assumes the opposite. “We envision that there’s a dark period when there’s nothing going on and rather than having 24 hours, we’re trying to be as efficient as possible in terms of the staffing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That dark period would be around 4 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In-house expertise\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Domingo says the surveillance center is one of the most ambitious projects Oakland has undertaken to reduce crime. Everyone wants a safer city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she’s still not sure if the top dog on this project will be a high-ranking public official or a private contractor. Domingo says employees from the city will make up most of the staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They could be record-keepers, they could be emergency planning coordinators, maybe retired dispatch people — people that have worked in dispatch centers,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael McNerney, a former cyber-advisor at the Department of Defense, thinks that is practically infeasible. “Knowing what you’re looking at is a specialized skill set. So these things tend to work best when you have specialized professionals who do this for a living.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McNerney, now based in Palo Alto, is a fan of surveillance centers. He’s helped build and maintain military ones. But without that high-tech skills set on hand, he says, tried and true public safety tools like street patrol or education might be better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People look for technological silver bullets to solve problems, when often times there are very serious policy, legal and societal issues that are really the problems,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s chief technology officer, Baig, says so far the plan is on target and the next phase will fall into place as soon as the city can decide on a private contractor.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
