Jerry Brown approved $24 million in additional funds to reduce the long list of cases. It had grown to more than 20,700 at the time, according to Harris' office. Earlier that year, a Harris aide seemed to suggest that the backlog could be eliminated in a single year, according to \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article15138524.html\">news reports\u003c/a> from the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same year, the attorney general pledged to hire 36 enforcement agents with the money. Two years later, only half as many had been hired due to what Harris' office called \"hiring challenges.\" And while state investigations helped clear nearly 7,000 names off the list, the overall backlog had shrunk by only one-fifth during that time, to about 17,500, according to a \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http://www.oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/publications/armed-prohib-person-system.pdf\">March 2015 report\u003c/a> by the Attorney General's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans in the Legislature \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/soapbox/article17973449.html\">criticized Harris\u003c/a> for what they said was slow progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez's comments about the database came five days before the Attorney General's Office issued \u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/publications/sb-140-supp-budget-report.pdf\">another report\u003c/a> on the program. It said the list is now down to about 12,700 cases, which the office called \"a historic low.\" The report makes clear that the list is not static.

The database allows law enforcement to seize guns from people with criminal records and mental illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So the Legislature gave the attorney general $25 million to match up those people who were felons versus those people who were buying guns. Just a database, so that we could weed out what was going on with respect to those people who shouldn't be able to purchase guns -- by existing law. Nothing was done.

Jerry Brown approved $24 million in additional funds to reduce the long list of cases. It had grown to more than 20,700 at the time, according to Harris' office.

Two years later, only half as many had been hired due to what Harris' office called \"hiring challenges.\" And while state investigations helped clear nearly 7,000 names off the list, the overall backlog had shrunk by only one-fifth during that time, to about 17,500, according to a \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http://www.oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/publications/armed-prohib-person-system.pdf\">March 2015 report\u003c/a> by the Attorney General's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans in the Legislature \u003ca style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/soapbox/article17973449.html\">criticized Harris\u003c/a> for what they said was slow progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanchez's comments about the database came five days before the Attorney General's Office issued \u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/publications/sb-140-supp-budget-report.pdf\">another report\u003c/a> on the program. It said the list is now down to about 12,700 cases, which the office called \"a historic low.\" The report makes clear that the list is not static. More than 20,000 people were added to it during the past 2½ years, while about 7,800 dropped off due to death or other reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10855575\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/APPsDatabaseReduction.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10855575 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/APPsDatabaseReduction-800x918.jpg\" alt=\"SOURCE: California Attorney General’s SB 140 Supplemental Report of the 2015-2016 Budget Package.

With 207 this year, according to the Guardian, California police killed 100 more people than the state with the second-highest number of officer-involved fatalities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And state-level tracking has been rife with inaccuracy. An Orange County Register \u003ca href=\"http://www.ocregister.com/articles/police-627391-shootings-department.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investigation\u003c/a> last summer found that at least one in five fatal shootings by police were never reported to the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That data typically has been incomplete,” Daniel Suvor, chief of policy for the California attorney general, told KQED Tuesday. “About a third of police departments in California were collecting this type of information electronically. A third were collecting it on paper — not tracking it electronically — and a third weren’t collecting it at all. We thought it was important to inject numbers into the conversation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB71\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Assembly Bill 71\u003c/a> requires law enforcement agencies to collect dozens of data points about every shooting or other use of force that results in serious injury or death. Local police and sheriff’s departments will then report information that includes racial demographics, whether an arrest was made, the number of civilians and peace officers involved in the incident, whether the civilians were perceived to be armed, and what kind of weapon (if any) a suspect was confirmed to have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law also requires local agencies to track civilian uses of force against law enforcement officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only does the bill require reporting where an officer is involved in a shooting as the shooter, but also when an officer is involved in an incident and is the victim,” California State Sheriffs’ Association legislative director Cory Salzillo told KQED. “What I hope will come from it is that there’s an understanding of how dangerous it is to be a law enforcement officer and the frequency of assaults committed against officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association neither supported nor opposed AB71, Salzillo said. He said assuming that providing more data on police use of force could increase trust of law enforcement “starts from a false premise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s a misperception that communities don’t trust law enforcement,” he said. “By and large, the people that live in communities respect law enforcement and they appreciate what law enforcement does.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But another statewide policing organization, the Peace Officers Research Association of California, acknowledged a “crisis of confidence” between law enforcement and the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Law enforcement has shown we’re willing to be as transparent as possible to work with our communities to build trust,” PORAC president Mike Durant told KQED, “but our communities have to be willing to work with law enforcement as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The expanded use-of-force statistics will be included in the attorney general’s “\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/02/open-justice-a-new-web-portal-to-arrest-and-death-statistics-in-california\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Open Justice\u003c/a>” initiative, which publicizes California criminal justice statistics on a dedicated website launched in September. Suvor said additional statistics on crime, unemployment, demographics and truancy are on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Later this spring, we’re going to be releasing several new data sets that will show a broader view of how we’re doing, from education to criminal justice,” he said. “That’s how we are smart on crime — take a look at the whole system.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

With 207 this year, according to the Guardian, California police killed 100 more people than the state with the second-highest number of officer-involved fatalities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And state-level tracking has been rife with inaccuracy. An Orange County Register \u003ca href=\"http://www.ocregister.com/articles/police-627391-shootings-department.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investigation\u003c/a> last summer found that at least one in five fatal shootings by police were never reported to the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That data typically has been incomplete,” Daniel Suvor, chief of policy for the California attorney general, told KQED Tuesday. “About a third of police departments in California were collecting this type of information electronically. A third were collecting it on paper — not tracking it electronically — and a third weren’t collecting it at all. We thought it was important to inject numbers into the conversation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB71\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Assembly Bill 71\u003c/a> requires law enforcement agencies to collect dozens of data points about every shooting or other use of force that results in serious injury or death. Local police and sheriff’s departments will then report information that includes racial demographics, whether an arrest was made, the number of civilians and peace officers involved in the incident, whether the civilians were perceived to be armed, and what kind of weapon (if any) a suspect was confirmed to have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law also requires local agencies to track civilian uses of force against law enforcement officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only does the bill require reporting where an officer is involved in a shooting as the shooter, but also when an officer is involved in an incident and is the victim,” California State Sheriffs’ Association legislative director Cory Salzillo told KQED. “What I hope will come from it is that there’s an understanding of how dangerous it is to be a law enforcement officer and the frequency of assaults committed against officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The association neither supported nor opposed AB71, Salzillo said. He said assuming that providing more data on police use of force could increase trust of law enforcement “starts from a false premise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s a misperception that communities don’t trust law enforcement,” he said. “By and large, the people that live in communities respect law enforcement and they appreciate what law enforcement does.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But another statewide policing organization, the Peace Officers Research Association of California, acknowledged a “crisis of confidence” between law enforcement and the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Law enforcement has shown we’re willing to be as transparent as possible to work with our communities to build trust,” PORAC president Mike Durant told KQED, “but our communities have to be willing to work with law enforcement as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The expanded use-of-force statistics will be included in the attorney general’s “\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/02/open-justice-a-new-web-portal-to-arrest-and-death-statistics-in-california\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Open Justice\u003c/a>” initiative, which publicizes California criminal justice statistics on a dedicated website launched in September. Suvor said additional statistics on crime, unemployment, demographics and truancy are on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Later this spring, we’re going to be releasing several new data sets that will show a broader view of how we’re doing, from education to criminal justice,” he said. “That’s how we are smart on crime — take a look at the whole system.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Harris' media access was closely controlled, including a news conference at a podium where she took just a handful of questions. Sanchez flitted in and out of caucuses, answering questions throughout the day. She also ignited some controversy when she made a war cry sound with her hand and mouth when talking about Native Americans -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article21200154.html\" target=\"_blank\">a gesture w\u003c/a>idely criticized as offensive, and one Sanchez apologized for Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether voters will have serious policy differences to choose between, however, remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked about the race at her \"Margaritas & Mambo!\" reception, hosted by the Young Latino Democrats, Sanchez focused squarely inside our borders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's always about jobs,\" she said. \"For so many of our families, California is just a beautiful place, we have been lucky, we are leading the United States out of the recession.

And so we are going to show how we work with the business community to get those good-paying jobs into California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her Sunday speech to the convention, Sanchez framed herself as someone from humble beginnings who has not forgotten her roots. She touted her years working on behalf of victims of sexual assault, against human trafficking and her vote against invading Iraq.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while she apologized for Saturday's stumble, she used the apology to launch a subtle dig at Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Those of you who don’t hide behind the handlers, you know how hard it can be to put yourself out there day in and day out. Sooner or later we make mistakes, we are all human,\" she said. \"I believe Ms. Harris also has an inspirational story, and I look forward to a good, clean, hard campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris hit similar policy themes as Sanchez in a 15-minute speech to the convention, focusing on her work as a career prosecutor helping the state's most vulnerable citizens, and framing criminal justice issues as part of a larger fight for equality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10528561\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/05/RS15205_IMG_0702-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10528561 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/05/RS15205_IMG_0702-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Supporters of Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez were busy at the California Democratic Convention. \" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/05/RS15205_IMG_0702-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/05/RS15205_IMG_0702-qut-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/05/RS15205_IMG_0702-qut-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/05/RS15205_IMG_0702-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/05/RS15205_IMG_0702-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/05/RS15205_IMG_0702-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supporters of Rep.
