When the year is up, Oakland will have logged more than a half-million 911 calls. That’s an average of about 1,400 calls a day, covering everything from complaints about vandalism to fires and traffic accidents to shootings and domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to understaffing, the 911 center has its hands full. On average it takes Oakland dispatchers in Oakland about 16 seconds to pick up a 911 call. That compares with \u003ca href=\"http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/nena.site-ym.com/resource/collection/ABEAA8F5-82F4-4531-AE4A-0AC5B2774E72/NENA_56-005_9-1-1_Call_Answering_Standard.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a recommended standard\u003c/a> from the National Emergency Numbers Association that 90 percent of incoming calls should be answered in 10 seconds or less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need people,” says dispatch supervisor Eugenia Oliver, an 18-year veteran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland has 74 staffers working in its 911 center, including 11 trainees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those new hires are welcome progress, according to Regina Harris, who heads the 911 center. But she notes those trainees must each be paired up with a staff dispatcher for a year. That means those veterans are sometimes mentoring instead of answering calls and dispatching first responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact of understaffing goes beyond taking longer to answer incoming calls. According to the \u003ca href=\"http://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/search/?a=oakland&q=police+dispatcher&s=-overtime&y=2013&page=1\">Transparent California database\u003c/a>, mandatory and voluntary dispatcher overtime cost the city more than $1 million in 2013. Some Oakland dispatchers work so many overtime hours they increase their base pay by 50 percent. Experts say all those extra hours increase the risk for errors on the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland could face an even bigger tab for dispatcher overtime when the 911 center starts taking wireless calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this stage Oakland is the only major city in the state that still routes all mobile phone calls through the \u003ca href=\"https://www.chp.ca.gov/find-an-office/golden-gate-division\">California Highway Patrol.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CHP redirects wireless calls meant for 911 centers in cities around Oakland. It also dispatches all wireless medical calls directly to the city’s Fire Department. This significantly lessens the call volume for Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s a big downside. In an emergency, time is critical. And the process of having the CHP triage and reroute calls can lead to significant delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delay is long enough that the Oakland Police Department urgers wireless callers to use a \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/OPD/index.htm\">separate number\u003c/a>, not 911, if a crime is in progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris says her center would get about 150,000 more calls a year if Oakland were to start taking wireless calls directly. The plan now, she says, is to phase them in over the next three years, because there’s no way Oakland could handle them based on current staffing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we’re just moving cautiously,” Harris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Oakland does start taking 911 calls directly, Harris estimates the city will need to hire at least 20 more dispatchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris won’t be there to see that. She says she plans to retire in the spring after 31 years in the 911 profession. So her job will be open as well.\u003c/p>\n\n",

When the year is up, Oakland will have logged more than a half-million 911 calls. That’s an average of about 1,400 calls a day, covering everything from complaints about vandalism to fires and traffic accidents to shootings and domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Due to understaffing, the 911 center has its hands full. On average it takes Oakland dispatchers in Oakland about 16 seconds to pick up a 911 call. That compares with \u003ca href=\"http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/nena.site-ym.com/resource/collection/ABEAA8F5-82F4-4531-AE4A-0AC5B2774E72/NENA_56-005_9-1-1_Call_Answering_Standard.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a recommended standard\u003c/a> from the National Emergency Numbers Association that 90 percent of incoming calls should be answered in 10 seconds or less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need people,” says dispatch supervisor Eugenia Oliver, an 18-year veteran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland has 74 staffers working in its 911 center, including 11 trainees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those new hires are welcome progress, according to Regina Harris, who heads the 911 center. But she notes those trainees must each be paired up with a staff dispatcher for a year. That means those veterans are sometimes mentoring instead of answering calls and dispatching first responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact of understaffing goes beyond taking longer to answer incoming calls. According to the \u003ca href=\"http://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/search/?a=oakland&q=police+dispatcher&s=-overtime&y=2013&page=1\">Transparent California database\u003c/a>, mandatory and voluntary dispatcher overtime cost the city more than $1 million in 2013. Some Oakland dispatchers work so many overtime hours they increase their base pay by 50 percent. Experts say all those extra hours increase the risk for errors on the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland could face an even bigger tab for dispatcher overtime when the 911 center starts taking wireless calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this stage Oakland is the only major city in the state that still routes all mobile phone calls through the \u003ca href=\"https://www.chp.ca.gov/find-an-office/golden-gate-division\">California Highway Patrol.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CHP redirects wireless calls meant for 911 centers in cities around Oakland. It also dispatches all wireless medical calls directly to the city’s Fire Department. This significantly lessens the call volume for Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s a big downside. In an emergency, time is critical. And the process of having the CHP triage and reroute calls can lead to significant delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delay is long enough that the Oakland Police Department urgers wireless callers to use a \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/OPD/index.htm\">separate number\u003c/a>, not 911, if a crime is in progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris says her center would get about 150,000 more calls a year if Oakland were to start taking wireless calls directly. The plan now, she says, is to phase them in over the next three years, because there’s no way Oakland could handle them based on current staffing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we’re just moving cautiously,” Harris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Oakland does start taking 911 calls directly, Harris estimates the city will need to hire at least 20 more dispatchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris won’t be there to see that. She says she plans to retire in the spring after 31 years in the 911 profession. So her job will be open as well.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The man struck the officer with a chain, police say, after which she shot and killed him. Neither the officer nor the suspect have been identified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timeline of the emergency response after the shooting has become a subject of interest because some at the scene accused police of not acting quickly enough to aid the mortally wounded suspect. One person in the video -- \u003ca href=\"#shootingvideo\">described more fully in an earlier update\u003c/a> -- says repeatedly that officers had left the dying man unattended for 20 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland police dispatch traffic and the video appear to show the response was considerably faster than that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police dispatch audio captures at least three calls for emergency medical response to the scene within five minutes of the shooting, including one made immediately after the injured officer was transported from the scene in a fellow officer's police car.

The sound quality is often poor, and the communications occasionally sound fragmented. However, the times we estimate for the shooting and the appearance of medical personnel appear consistent with those in other published accounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's our edited version of the police dispatch audio, which begins with an Oakland dispatcher broadcasting an advisory about an early-morning assault at 255 MacArthur Boulevard and then picks up with the moment the police officer involved in the later confrontation with the suspect calls for help.

He is soon assisted by a second officer. At least a half-dozen other officers can be seen in the video setting up the crime scene. CPR is performed for roughly 3½ minutes until three Oakland Fire Department personnel arrive, at which time the video cuts off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At around the 30-second mark of the video, one woman in a small crowd gathered about 30 feet away from the victim can be heard shouting, “They didn’t do CPR, they didn’t do anything yet. He’s been lying there for 20 minutes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few minutes later, a second woman yells, “It’s too late, anybody can see that. You’re all more worried about your officer than this man on the street.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED News has decided not to post the video due to its graphic nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 3:45 p.m. Thursday\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference this afternoon, Oakland Police Chief Sean Whent offered an account of today's officer-involved shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whent said police received a report early this morning of a trespasser who'd assaulted a resident in the garage of an apartment building on the 200 block of MacArthur Boulevard. Whent said police arrived on the scene about 6:45 a.m. but couldn't locate the suspect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An officer from the day shift then came on duty and took a report from the resident who was allegedly assaulted. After the officer completed the report, she began to drive away from the scene when the suspect walked in front of her vehicle. The officer got out of her car and was immediately assaulted by the suspect, Whent said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect was \"holding a metal chain and swinging it at the officer,\" causing multiple lacerations, Whent said. \"The suspect continued to advance, swinging the chain at the officer. The officer drew her firearm and fired at the suspect, striking him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene and the officer, an 18-year veteran, was transported to the hospital, where she was treated for head injuries and is in stable condition, Whent said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the department has body-cam video of the incident, and that it was too early to say yet whether the shooting was justified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked why the officer didn't use her taser instead of shooting the suspect, Whent said that would have contradicted protocol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People that are armed with weapons, we recommend a taser if you’ve got a lethal option behind you, so that in the event the taser fails, you have somebody with a lethal option,\" he said. \"This was the only officer that was on scene at the time confronting somebody with a weapon, so she used her firearm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither the name of the officer nor the deceased suspect have been released yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you can read in more detail in our original post below, at least one witness to the aftermath of the shooting was disturbed by what she characterized as police indifference to the wounded man as officers gathered around their injured colleague.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No one was doing anything,\" said Nayomi Munaweera . \"He was twitching and bleeding from his mouth. There were maybe like three of us civilians who were around and trying to figure out in those few seconds whether we should go and help him or not. As that was happening, a bunch of cops came and told us to back up and get away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief Whent said at his press conference that officers are obligated to respond to the injuries of suspects. \"Immediately, aid was requested for both of them,\" he said, referring to the officer and the man who eventually expired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An Oakland police officer this morning shot and killed a man after he attacked her, police said today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At about 8:40 a.m., the officer responded to an assault call near Lake Merritt on MacArthur Boulevard, encountering a male suspect, OPD spokeswoman Johanna Watson said. She said the man struck the officer multiple times in the head and face with a metal object. The officer then shot the man, who was later pronounced dead at the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officer was taken to a hospital to be treated for head trauma, according to Watson. She did not release the condition of the officer. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Officer-and-suspect-injured-in-Oakland-police-6469138.php\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle is reporting\u003c/a> that a witness saw the officer \"bleeding heavily from her face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chronicle also said: \"Acquaintances of the dead suspect, who were at the scene but did not want to be identified, said he suffered from an unspecified mental illness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One witness to the shooting's immediate aftermath said on video today that police gathered around the injured officer while ignoring the wounded suspect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nayomi Munaweera, a local writer, discussed the incident in a video interview with someone who identified himself as being with the Anti Police-Terror Project. Munaweera said she was walking up MacArthur when she heard gunshots. When she came upon the scene, she saw an African-American man lying on his stomach, bleeding from the mouth. At the same time, she said, a white, female police officer was sitting on the pavement, with blood on her face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were two or three police officers around her,\" Munaweera said. \"There was no one around the man.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if the man appeared to be dead, Munaweera said, \"No, he was definitely alive. No one was doing anything. He was twitching and bleeding from his mouth. There were maybe like three of us civilians who were around and trying to figure out in those few seconds whether we should go and help him or not. As that was happening, a bunch of cops came and told us to back up and get away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She goes on to say: \"They finally did CPR, but it was like, too late. A bunch of blood came out. It took about 15-20 minutes before anyone administered to him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear if police had attended to the man before Munaweera came upon the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munaweera also said she saw a bike chain by the man's side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OPD is holding a press conference now to discuss the shooting, the sixth officer-involved shooting in Oakland this year, four of which have been fatal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the shooting, activists have \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/316716461849844/435140736674082/\" target=\"_blank\">called for a 5 p.m. protest \u003c/a>in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Bay City News contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

We've edited out about five minutes of extraneous radio traffic between the advisory and the officer's emergency call; the audio is unedited from the moment the emergency call is broadcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/221331017&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the timeline:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:35 a.m.:\u003c/strong> Time of reported assault at 255 MacArthur Boulevard.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>8:30-8:31:\u003c/strong> Oakland police dispatcher broadcasts alert about earlier assault: \"Units, be advised of a 245 [assault with a deadly weapon] with a bike chain.\" Advisory describes suspect and concludes, \"For officer safety -- he has been armed with a knife in the past.\" Dispatcher gives time as 8:31 a.m.\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>8:36-8:37:\u003c/strong> Officer broadcasts emergency calls for help: \"Code 33!

He is soon assisted by a second officer. At least a half-dozen other officers can be seen in the video setting up the crime scene. CPR is performed for roughly 3½ minutes until three Oakland Fire Department personnel arrive, at which time the video cuts off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At around the 30-second mark of the video, one woman in a small crowd gathered about 30 feet away from the victim can be heard shouting, “They didn’t do CPR, they didn’t do anything yet. He’s been lying there for 20 minutes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few minutes later, a second woman yells, “It’s too late, anybody can see that. You’re all more worried about your officer than this man on the street.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED News has decided not to post the video due to its graphic nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 3:45 p.m. Thursday\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference this afternoon, Oakland Police Chief Sean Whent offered an account of today's officer-involved shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whent said police received a report early this morning of a trespasser who'd assaulted a resident in the garage of an apartment building on the 200 block of MacArthur Boulevard. Whent said police arrived on the scene about 6:45 a.m. but couldn't locate the suspect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An officer from the day shift then came on duty and took a report from the resident who was allegedly assaulted. After the officer completed the report, she began to drive away from the scene when the suspect walked in front of her vehicle. The officer got out of her car and was immediately assaulted by the suspect, Whent said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect was \"holding a metal chain and swinging it at the officer,\" causing multiple lacerations, Whent said. \"The suspect continued to advance, swinging the chain at the officer. The officer drew her firearm and fired at the suspect, striking him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene and the officer, an 18-year veteran, was transported to the hospital, where she was treated for head injuries and is in stable condition, Whent said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the department has body-cam video of the incident, and that it was too early to say yet whether the shooting was justified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked why the officer didn't use her taser instead of shooting the suspect, Whent said that would have contradicted protocol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People that are armed with weapons, we recommend a taser if you’ve got a lethal option behind you, so that in the event the taser fails, you have somebody with a lethal option,\" he said. \"This was the only officer that was on scene at the time confronting somebody with a weapon, so she used her firearm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither the name of the officer nor the deceased suspect have been released yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you can read in more detail in our original post below, at least one witness to the aftermath of the shooting was disturbed by what she characterized as police indifference to the wounded man as officers gathered around their injured colleague.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No one was doing anything,\" said Nayomi Munaweera . \"He was twitching and bleeding from his mouth. There were maybe like three of us civilians who were around and trying to figure out in those few seconds whether we should go and help him or not. As that was happening, a bunch of cops came and told us to back up and get away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief Whent said at his press conference that officers are obligated to respond to the injuries of suspects. \"Immediately, aid was requested for both of them,\" he said, referring to the officer and the man who eventually expired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An Oakland police officer this morning shot and killed a man after he attacked her, police said today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At about 8:40 a.m., the officer responded to an assault call near Lake Merritt on MacArthur Boulevard, encountering a male suspect, OPD spokeswoman Johanna Watson said. She said the man struck the officer multiple times in the head and face with a metal object. The officer then shot the man, who was later pronounced dead at the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officer was taken to a hospital to be treated for head trauma, according to Watson. She did not release the condition of the officer. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Officer-and-suspect-injured-in-Oakland-police-6469138.php\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle is reporting\u003c/a> that a witness saw the officer \"bleeding heavily from her face.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chronicle also said: \"Acquaintances of the dead suspect, who were at the scene but did not want to be identified, said he suffered from an unspecified mental illness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One witness to the shooting's immediate aftermath said on video today that police gathered around the injured officer while ignoring the wounded suspect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nayomi Munaweera, a local writer, discussed the incident in a video interview with someone who identified himself as being with the Anti Police-Terror Project. Munaweera said she was walking up MacArthur when she heard gunshots. When she came upon the scene, she saw an African-American man lying on his stomach, bleeding from the mouth. At the same time, she said, a white, female police officer was sitting on the pavement, with blood on her face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were two or three police officers around her,\" Munaweera said. \"There was no one around the man.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if the man appeared to be dead, Munaweera said, \"No, he was definitely alive. No one was doing anything. He was twitching and bleeding from his mouth. There were maybe like three of us civilians who were around and trying to figure out in those few seconds whether we should go and help him or not. As that was happening, a bunch of cops came and told us to back up and get away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She goes on to say: \"They finally did CPR, but it was like, too late. A bunch of blood came out. It took about 15-20 minutes before anyone administered to him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear if police had attended to the man before Munaweera came upon the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Munaweera also said she saw a bike chain by the man's side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OPD is holding a press conference now to discuss the shooting, the sixth officer-involved shooting in Oakland this year, four of which have been fatal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the shooting, activists have \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/316716461849844/435140736674082/\" target=\"_blank\">called for a 5 p.m. protest \u003c/a>in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The pursuit started at 69th Avenue and International Boulevard in the mid-afternoon and ended near the corner of 27th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way, where the suspect crashed his car into another vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deceased man has yet to be officially identified, pending confirmation of his name and notification of relatives, police said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armed with a handgun, the man fled the vehicle on foot and attempted to carjack another vehicle, according to the department, then ran from approaching officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers shot him after confronting him again. The man was discovered with a loaded, stolen handgun that had not been fired, according to OPD. Accounts differ on whether the man was running from officers when he was shot, or whether he was raising the gun and pointing it at them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While there were conflicting reports on whether or not the brother had a gun, what everyone was uniform on was that he was running away from police and was shot in the back,\" Brooks said. \"If someone is running away from you, they cannot then be a threat to you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFGate \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Police-body-cameras-and-store-security-caught-6443269.php\" target=\"_blank\">reports\u003c/a> an attorney for the Oakland Police Officers Association and another witness say video footage shows the man advancing toward officers with a gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Police Department said in a statement Thursday afternoon that a preliminary autopsy report found that \"the bullets entered the front of the man's body.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of Wednesday's shooting and protests, department and city leaders have noted a steady decline in overall use-of-force and deadly incidents over the past several years -- while the OPD has been under the close watch of a federal judge and court-appointed monitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf said the department has seen a 70 percent reduction in overall use-of-force in the last four years, and a 60 percent reduction in citizen complaints since 2012, citing enhanced training and new policies that discourage high-speed vehicle pursuits and some foot pursuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Clearly these reforms are having an impact, but we need to continue to do more to improve that relationship of trust between our police force and the community,\" she said. \"We recognize that there have been serious harms and damage in the past and that we have to do a lot to rebuild that trust and convince the community that these reforms are sustainable -- that they are sincere and authentic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks doesn't see a new-and-improved OPD, and she said people passing by Wednesday's crime scene don't see it either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It wasn’t, 'What happened?'\" she said. \"It wasn’t, 'Is everyting all right?'

The pursuit started at 69th Avenue and International Boulevard in the mid-afternoon and ended near the corner of 27th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way, where the suspect crashed his car into another vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deceased man has yet to be officially identified, pending confirmation of his name and notification of relatives, police said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armed with a handgun, the man fled the vehicle on foot and attempted to carjack another vehicle, according to the department, then ran from approaching officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers shot him after confronting him again.

About one minute into the car stop, the male driver fled from the vehicle on foot into nearby yards. Per departmental policy, the officers who made the stop did not pursue the man into the yards until additional officers responded to the scene and a perimeter was set. OPD Communications advised the subject was wanted for an active $10, 000 warrant. Additionally, officers discovered approximately a pound of marijuana inside the vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A designated search team began a systematic search of the area and yards. Approximately 30 minutes into the search, officers located the subject in the 1600 block of 64th Avenue. The 23-year-old, 6 foot, 190-lb man was unresponsive, wedged in a small space between two buildings. Officers immediately performed CPR while waiting for emergency medical personnel to arrive on scene. Emergency medical personnel arrived and transported the subject to a local hospital, where he was pronounced deceased by medical staff. At this time the subject’s name is being withheld pending family notification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were no uses of force by any officers at any time during this incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In accordance with standard protocol, the death is being investigated by the Oakland Police Department Criminal Investigation Division-Homicide, Internal Affairs Division and the Alameda County Coroner’s Office to determine the cause of death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation is on-going and anyone with information is asked to contact the Oakland Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division at (510) 238-3821 or the TIP LINE at 777-2805.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

About one minute into the car stop, the male driver fled from the vehicle on foot into nearby yards. Per departmental policy, the officers who made the stop did not pursue the man into the yards until additional officers responded to the scene and a perimeter was set. OPD Communications advised the subject was wanted for an active $10, 000 warrant. Additionally, officers discovered approximately a pound of marijuana inside the vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A designated search team began a systematic search of the area and yards. Approximately 30 minutes into the search, officers located the subject in the 1600 block of 64th Avenue. The 23-year-old, 6 foot, 190-lb man was unresponsive, wedged in a small space between two buildings. Officers immediately performed CPR while waiting for emergency medical personnel to arrive on scene. Emergency medical personnel arrived and transported the subject to a local hospital, where he was pronounced deceased by medical staff. At this time the subject’s name is being withheld pending family notification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were no uses of force by any officers at any time during this incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In accordance with standard protocol, the death is being investigated by the Oakland Police Department Criminal Investigation Division-Homicide, Internal Affairs Division and the Alameda County Coroner’s Office to determine the cause of death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation is on-going and anyone with information is asked to contact the Oakland Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division at (510) 238-3821 or the TIP LINE at 777-2805.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
