The Oakland Police Department is understaffed and lacks sufficient support from city leaders, he noted, adding that the relationship between OPD and Oakland residents is strained because the city is not investing in public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Oakland is facing a $130 million budget deficit, and efforts to mitigate the shortfall have resulted in sweeping cuts to city services, including the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12017244/oaklands-budget-crisis-forcing-police-fire-cuts-more-will-be-needed\">Police Department\u003c/a>. Last year, the city announced that it would be laying off several non-sworn Police Department employees, curbing overtime spending and closing two police academies for the remainder of the fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OPD has contracted from more than 800 officers a few years ago to 675, and because more than 100 officers are out on leave, the number that can actually respond to calls for service is much lower, Nguyen said.[aside postID=news_12033381 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/20250218_Oak-Mayoral_DMB_00156_qed-1020x680.jpg']“The Police Department continues to shrink, and it creates a much more challenging work environment for our officers,” he said. “We’re unable to respond to calls from community members. That’s an issue that we need to fix, especially if we want to gain their trust.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When officers fail to respond to calls or respond too late, the tension between residents and officers only gets worse, Nguyen said, adding that last week’s attack suggests that people are less concerned about being held accountable for their actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation is dire for both residents and officers who might be targeted amid mounting frustrations, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s violent crime rate, which includes homicide, aggravated assault, rape and robbery, was nearly 20% lower last year than the year prior, falling from 7,900 violent crimes to 6,361, according to OPD’s \u003ca href=\"https://cityofoakland2.app.box.com/s/sjiq7usfy27gy9dfe51hp8arz5l1ixad/file/1743494392012\">end-of-year crime report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Nguyen said that comparing crime rates to record highs is not an indicator that public safety is improving. The focus instead should be on making Oakland a place where people feel safe and comfortable, and that is not the case, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our community members don’t see what our officers are facing, but we also understand the challenges our community members are facing,” Nguyen said. “I understand the frustration when they call, and we don’t respond in a timely manner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/bkrans\">\u003cem>Brian Krans\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated 4:40 p.m. Monday\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After filing DUI charges against two Oakland police officers, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pamela-price\">Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price\u003c/a> is asking the city’s new police chief to step up to address what she describes as a spike in officers driving drunk on the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference on Monday, Price confirmed the charges against the officers, whose cases are pending, and read from a new letter in which she urged department leaders to address officer behavior, saying the on-duty arrests are a “substantial and sudden increase and represent an alarming trend within the Oakland Police Department.” Her focus on police misconduct is intensifying alongside \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12008868/east-bay-politicians-speak-out-against-recall-of-alameda-county-da-pamela-price\">discord\u003c/a> with the county’s police unions, all 14 of which have come out in support of her recall this November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price spoke generally and declined to share specifics about the incidents, which came to light in news \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2024/10/18/2-oakland-police-officers-were-arrested-for-on-duty-duis-last-year/\">reports\u003c/a> last week describing the arrests of Officers Nathaniel Walker and Trevor Harley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the most recent complaint, filed Sept. 19, the district attorney’s office accuses Harley of driving with an open container and a blood-alcohol level of 0.08% or more in October 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors accuse Walker of two incidents; the first in March 2023, in which California Highway Patrol officers allegedly stopped him after observing him driving more than 95 mph without tail lights on. Walker allegedly told them he was an OPD officer driving home after getting off from work. During field sobriety tests, law enforcement observed “red and watery eyes, slow and slurred speech, and a noticeable odor of alcohol emanating from his breath and person,” according to court documents. His blood alcohol was recorded at 0.28%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following month, he was stopped again — this time while driving a patrol vehicle — and again failed field and blood-alcohol level tests, according to Price’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='pamela-price']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her letter to Chief Floyd Mitchell, who was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11980455/oakland-mayor-sheng-thao-appoints-floyd-mitchell-as-new-police-chief\">hired\u003c/a> in the spring after more than a yearlong search, and Acting Chief James Beere, who is temporarily leading the department while Mitchell completes state-mandated training, Price said she wants them to develop and implement clear policies related to on- and off-duty intoxication, citing OPD’s “documented history of mishandling disciplinary matters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As you know, my office cannot act to hold officers appropriately accountable if the responsible agency does not conduct a prompt and thorough investigation of the officers’ behavior,” Price said. “Having police officers intoxicated while on or off-duty represents a clear and present danger to the officer and the public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, in the latest chapter of OPD’s more than 20-year struggle to emerge from federal oversight following a police misconduct settlement in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11910447/from-scandal-to-scrutiny-how-vigilant-citizen-oversight-helped-reshape-oaklands-police-force\">Riders case\u003c/a>, a court ordered the chief of police to personally oversee the department’s investigations into OPD officers. In the order, U.S. District Judge William Orrick said he could “no longer tolerate the lack of integrity, consistency, and transparency with which Internal Affairs has operated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police chief is now required to discuss how the department is policing itself with city leaders every two weeks, alongside regular updates to the court. OPD still has yet to complete the last two of 55 court-ordered reforms related to the internal affairs investigations of officers suspected of on-the-job misconduct and ensuring that officers are disciplined consistently regardless of their race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price has said tension with the county’s police unions stems from her bringing \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12009076/mario-gonzalez-supporters-call-das-error-a-shame-as-2-officers-avoid-charges\">criminal charges against law enforcement officers\u003c/a> who killed civilians in the line of duty, something Price’s predecessor Nancy O’Malley did once during her nearly 14 years in office. Police unions have accused her of failing to hold criminals accountable for their actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, an OPD spokesperson said neither Chief Mitchell nor Assistant Chief Beere had received the letter from the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office. The department said it’s aware of the allegations made against its members and is cooperating with our outside law enforcement agencies on each case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The employees in question were placed on administrative leave in June of 2023 and October of 2023, and the matters are under investigation,” the statement read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Police Officers Association did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Court records show Harley is due in court on Oct. 31 for arraignment. Walker next appears on Nov. 8 for a pretrial hearing related to his two DUIs, which have been consolidated into one case.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Walker allegedly told them he was an OPD officer driving home after getting off from work. During field sobriety tests, law enforcement observed “red and watery eyes, slow and slurred speech, and a noticeable odor of alcohol emanating from his breath and person,” according to court documents. His blood alcohol was recorded at 0.28%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following month, he was stopped again — this time while driving a patrol vehicle — and again failed field and blood-alcohol level tests, according to Price’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In the order, U.S. District Judge William Orrick said he could “no longer tolerate the lack of integrity, consistency, and transparency with which Internal Affairs has operated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police chief is now required to discuss how the department is policing itself with city leaders every two weeks, alongside regular updates to the court. OPD still has yet to complete the last two of 55 court-ordered reforms related to the internal affairs investigations of officers suspected of on-the-job misconduct and ensuring that officers are disciplined consistently regardless of their race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price has said tension with the county’s police unions stems from her bringing \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12009076/mario-gonzalez-supporters-call-das-error-a-shame-as-2-officers-avoid-charges\">criminal charges against law enforcement officers\u003c/a> who killed civilians in the line of duty, something Price’s predecessor Nancy O’Malley did once during her nearly 14 years in office. Police unions have accused her of failing to hold criminals accountable for their actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, an OPD spokesperson said neither Chief Mitchell nor Assistant Chief Beere had received the letter from the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office. The department said it’s aware of the allegations made against its members and is cooperating with our outside law enforcement agencies on each case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The employees in question were placed on administrative leave in June of 2023 and October of 2023, and the matters are under investigation,” the statement read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Police Officers Association did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Court records show Harley is due in court on Oct. 31 for arraignment. Walker next appears on Nov. 8 for a pretrial hearing related to his two DUIs, which have been consolidated into one case.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

On Thursday, Thao reported that although the Oakland Police Department’s response rate is still significantly below California standards, it is increasing staffing and making the first major upgrade to its computer-aided dispatch in decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are only going to see our call times actually improve,” Thao said at a press conference on Thursday. “They’ll be a positive impact, that 51% [of calls answered in 15 seconds] will increase. And, of course, our goal is to meet the state standard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal OES mandates that 90% of dispatch calls be answered within 15 seconds and 95% within 20. Oakland’s rate of 15-second answers was recently as low as 37% before rebounding to around 51%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Oakland missed the state’s deadline to come into compliance by July of this year, Cal OES said in a follow-up letter that OPD has made “noticeable improvement” and that it will continue to work with them collaboratively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City leaders said that a new, more reliable computer-aided dispatch from Motorola, announced Thursday, will replace a system that is more than 20 years old and no longer supported by the company.

On Thursday, Thao reported that although the Oakland Police Department’s response rate is still significantly below California standards, it is increasing staffing and making the first major upgrade to its computer-aided dispatch in decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are only going to see our call times actually improve,” Thao said at a press conference on Thursday. “They’ll be a positive impact, that 51% [of calls answered in 15 seconds] will increase. And, of course, our goal is to meet the state standard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal OES mandates that 90% of dispatch calls be answered within 15 seconds and 95% within 20. Oakland’s rate of 15-second answers was recently as low as 37% before rebounding to around 51%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A spokesperson for Alameda County District Attorney Price said her office has received 11 cases connected to the CHP surge for prosecution. “Their numbers obviously don’t match our numbers,” Price told reporters earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inability to agree even on basic data comes at a politically fraught and contradictory moment for criminal justice policy in Oakland and California. Price and Oakland mayor Sheng Thao both face recall campaigns backed by coalitions of residents, business owners and \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2024/08/01/oakland-philip-dreyfuss-sheng-thao-mayor-recall/\">a deep-pocketed Piedmont hedge fund manager\u003c/a>, who say they’ve failed to keep residents safe.

And Oakland Police Chief Floyd Mitchell said research shows that traffic stops can depress crime in an area for hours after the stop occurs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of what they’re doing in these traffic stops is to create a high visibility presence within our community to address that perception of crime and crime itself,” Mitchell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked whether business owners she talks to have seen results from the CHP surge, Oakland African-American Chamber of Commerce president Cathy Adams said no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every call I get is they’ve been broken into, and it’s taking too long for people to show up,” she said. Still, Adams said that while she’s “not in favor of mass incarceration,” she supports the additional police resources CHP is providing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oakland was starting to get a reputation like, ‘Hey, come on over, it’s a grocery store. You can get anything you want and walk right out,’ ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demario Daniels said he was happy to have support from a CHP officer after another car hit his Mustang near Fruitvale Avenue, then took off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was awesome. He helped calm me down,” said Daniels, who said he needed his car to look for work after a recent layoff. He said he appreciated that the officer reassured him but was honest about the fact that if he filed a report, it likely wouldn’t go anywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>When state and local policing policies don’t mix\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The state intervention in Oakland policing has created the most waves when it comes into conflict with local policies that were crafted with community input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Newsom said this spring that the state would pay for and install in and around Oakland, nearly 500 automated license plate readers — surveillance cameras that law enforcement can use to track vehicles they suspect of being involved in crimes — police accountability groups raised concern that the devices wouldn’t be subject to the city’s surveillance policy. The policy requires annual reporting on the impact of any surveillance technology and bars data from being retained for longer than 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CHP and the Oakland Police Department have since signed an agreement to each take custody of some of the cameras and share the data between agencies. The company providing them, Flock Safety, will delete the videos after 30 days. CHP will front the money for the cameras, with Oakland to pay the state back within a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On vehicle chases, too, CHP’s policy differs from Oakland’s: Oakland officers are \u003ca href=\"https://data.oaklandca.gov/stories/s/Oakland-Police-Pursuits/j6sd-cq8q/\">only allowed to initiate pursuit\u003c/a> when they have a reasonable suspicion that the person they’re chasing has committed a violent crime or has a gun. CHP officers have wider discretion to chase “in order to apprehend a violator of the law who refuses to yield to the officer’s lawful direction.” Officers should not chase if they can identify the suspects well enough to track them down later, CHP policy also says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/newsom-oakland-police-chase-19597534.php\">told the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a> that his officers recently chased people at high speeds in Oakland after seeing them commit minor traffic violations, such as passing unsafely and driving without headlights. A CHP spokesperson said those chases led to the recovery of two stolen cars and an illegal gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his letter to Oakland officials, Newsom touted a recent CHP blitz in which officers used police cars and a helicopter to chase people suspected of participating in sideshows, making five felony arrests. He acknowledged that such pursuits “can be dangerous to police, suspects and innocent bystanders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But there is also extreme danger to the public in allowing criminals to act with impunity,” the governor wrote, calling Oakland’s chase policy “an outlier” and asking the city council to reconsider it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://portal.cops.usdoj.gov/resourcecenter/content.ashx/cops-r1134-pub.pdf\">2023 report\u003c/a> by the Police Executive Research Forum, a think tank, recommended police departments only allow vehicle chases when the person fleeing has committed a violent crime and poses an imminent threat to commit another violent crime. Funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the U.S. Justice Department, the study found that more than 90% of police chases happen because of traffic violations, that chases rarely lead to arrests for serious crimes and that about a fifth of serious injuries during chases are to innocent bystanders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The danger is so great, and the potential for innocent people getting killed or severely injured is very high,” said John Burris, the attorney who represented plaintiffs in a landmark 2003 settlement that led to two decades of federal monitoring of Oakland police’s performance on reducing civil rights violations. He said changing the city’s chase policy would likely require a signoff from the federal monitor assigned to that case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris also represented the family of Erik Salgado, who CHP officers shot to death after Salgado fled a traffic stop in Oakland in 2020. The CHP settled that case for $7 million last year, and some police accountability activists cite the agency’s chase policy as a factor in the killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any CHP officers investigating crimes in Oakland should receive additional training in implicit bias, the city’s communities and aspects of the settlement agreement governing use of force and police misconduct, Burris said. “We don’t want to have cops coming in and just thinking they can stop a car because there are Black and Hispanic kids in the car or demanding to search their cars just because you stopped them,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he was unaware of any complaints to his office about CHP stopping Oaklanders without probable cause during the surge but that his staff was monitoring the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHP officers are more likely to be white and male than both Oakland police officers and those in California law enforcement overall, \u003ca href=\"https://post.ca.gov/Law-Enforcement-Demographics\">according to the state’s Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training\u003c/a>. Helped by the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2023/11/chp-2023-salary-increase/\">automatic pay increases\u003c/a> officers receive under California law, CHP recently embarked on a recruiting campaign that \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/02/26/chp-recruitment/\">boosted applications\u003c/a> to join the agency at a time when many police departments are struggling to attract candidates.[aside postID=\"news_11993611,news_11974920,news_11999063\" label=\"Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency also differs from Oakland police in some measures of transparency. Oakland’s vehicle chase policy, for example, is listed on the police department’s website; CHP asked CalMatters to file a formal public records before providing its policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither agency made any officials available for an interview for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>More lawyers for prosecution, but not defense\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Differences in law enforcement policy can lead to jurisdictional battles. Oakland’s police pulled out of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in 2020, and San Francisco’s did in 2017 after participating for at least a decade after civil liberties advocates raised concerns about FBI surveillance and profiling of ethnic and religious groups, immigrants and political protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have more restrictive policies in the Bay Area because that’s what our community is comfortable with,” Hofer said. “Bring in the state or feds and that all goes out the window.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police departments’ efforts to build trust with local communities can suffer when another law enforcement agency parachutes in for a brief period, said Jorja Leap, a professor at UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs who studies gang violence and community policing. She called the state’s deployment “a temporary fix for a deeply rooted problem” and a shift away from the efforts by cities, including Oakland, over the past two decades to engage with the root causes of crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a bunch of police chiefs who all stood up and said, ‘We can’t arrest our way out of the problem,’ ” she said. “And now we’ve got a governor going, ‘Yes, we can.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has pointed out that the state has also spent millions of dollars on community violence prevention programs, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.bscc.ca.gov/s_cpgpcalvipgrant/\">$6 million over three years for Oakland’s Operation Ceasefire\u003c/a>. However, his announcements of state public safety support to cities over the past year have focused largely on sending cops and prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the governor’s request, California National Guard lawyers and case analysts have been working fentanyl cases in San Francisco over the past year. Crime is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996211/san-francisco-crime-is-down-significantly-but-its-not-clear-trend-will-last\">down in the city\u003c/a>, while accidental drug overdose deaths in the first six months of this year ticked down just slightly compared with the same period last year, from 405 to 373. The state help has gotten a warm reception from Mayor London Breed and a chilly one from the San Francisco Public Defender’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The increased arrests for suspected drug-related crimes have filled our jails, clogged our courts, and harmed a lot of people who actually need help,” the public defender’s office said in a statement to CalMatters. “As predicted, arresting people for drug use has largely failed to get people into recovery programs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Newsom said in February that he would also send California National Guard lawyers to help prosecute Alameda County drug cases, the county’s chief public defender, Brendon Woods, noted that his office was not receiving any additional state resources. “This is only going to lead to more caging of Black and Brown people,” Woods posted on X at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom assigned the lawyers anyway, and when he deemed that District Attorney Price was not taking advantage of the support quickly enough, he inked an agreement earlier this month to have the prosecutors work out of the California Department of Justice instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just don’t have time,” he told reporters in July. “People don’t want to wait another day. They don’t want to wait another weekend.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

A spokesperson for Alameda County District Attorney Price said her office has received 11 cases connected to the CHP surge for prosecution. “Their numbers obviously don’t match our numbers,” Price told reporters earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inability to agree even on basic data comes at a politically fraught and contradictory moment for criminal justice policy in Oakland and California. Price and Oakland mayor Sheng Thao both face recall campaigns backed by coalitions of residents, business owners and \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2024/08/01/oakland-philip-dreyfuss-sheng-thao-mayor-recall/\">a deep-pocketed Piedmont hedge fund manager\u003c/a>, who say they’ve failed to keep residents safe.

And Oakland Police Chief Floyd Mitchell said research shows that traffic stops can depress crime in an area for hours after the stop occurs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of what they’re doing in these traffic stops is to create a high visibility presence within our community to address that perception of crime and crime itself,” Mitchell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked whether business owners she talks to have seen results from the CHP surge, Oakland African-American Chamber of Commerce president Cathy Adams said no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every call I get is they’ve been broken into, and it’s taking too long for people to show up,” she said. Still, Adams said that while she’s “not in favor of mass incarceration,” she supports the additional police resources CHP is providing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oakland was starting to get a reputation like, ‘Hey, come on over, it’s a grocery store. You can get anything you want and walk right out,’ ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demario Daniels said he was happy to have support from a CHP officer after another car hit his Mustang near Fruitvale Avenue, then took off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was awesome. He helped calm me down,” said Daniels, who said he needed his car to look for work after a recent layoff. He said he appreciated that the officer reassured him but was honest about the fact that if he filed a report, it likely wouldn’t go anywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>When state and local policing policies don’t mix\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The state intervention in Oakland policing has created the most waves when it comes into conflict with local policies that were crafted with community input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Newsom said this spring that the state would pay for and install in and around Oakland, nearly 500 automated license plate readers — surveillance cameras that law enforcement can use to track vehicles they suspect of being involved in crimes — police accountability groups raised concern that the devices wouldn’t be subject to the city’s surveillance policy. The policy requires annual reporting on the impact of any surveillance technology and bars data from being retained for longer than 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CHP and the Oakland Police Department have since signed an agreement to each take custody of some of the cameras and share the data between agencies. The company providing them, Flock Safety, will delete the videos after 30 days. CHP will front the money for the cameras, with Oakland to pay the state back within a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On vehicle chases, too, CHP’s policy differs from Oakland’s: Oakland officers are \u003ca href=\"https://data.oaklandca.gov/stories/s/Oakland-Police-Pursuits/j6sd-cq8q/\">only allowed to initiate pursuit\u003c/a> when they have a reasonable suspicion that the person they’re chasing has committed a violent crime or has a gun. CHP officers have wider discretion to chase “in order to apprehend a violator of the law who refuses to yield to the officer’s lawful direction.” Officers should not chase if they can identify the suspects well enough to track them down later, CHP policy also says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/newsom-oakland-police-chase-19597534.php\">told the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a> that his officers recently chased people at high speeds in Oakland after seeing them commit minor traffic violations, such as passing unsafely and driving without headlights. A CHP spokesperson said those chases led to the recovery of two stolen cars and an illegal gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his letter to Oakland officials, Newsom touted a recent CHP blitz in which officers used police cars and a helicopter to chase people suspected of participating in sideshows, making five felony arrests. He acknowledged that such pursuits “can be dangerous to police, suspects and innocent bystanders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But there is also extreme danger to the public in allowing criminals to act with impunity,” the governor wrote, calling Oakland’s chase policy “an outlier” and asking the city council to reconsider it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://portal.cops.usdoj.gov/resourcecenter/content.ashx/cops-r1134-pub.pdf\">2023 report\u003c/a> by the Police Executive Research Forum, a think tank, recommended police departments only allow vehicle chases when the person fleeing has committed a violent crime and poses an imminent threat to commit another violent crime. Funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the U.S. Justice Department, the study found that more than 90% of police chases happen because of traffic violations, that chases rarely lead to arrests for serious crimes and that about a fifth of serious injuries during chases are to innocent bystanders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The danger is so great, and the potential for innocent people getting killed or severely injured is very high,” said John Burris, the attorney who represented plaintiffs in a landmark 2003 settlement that led to two decades of federal monitoring of Oakland police’s performance on reducing civil rights violations. He said changing the city’s chase policy would likely require a signoff from the federal monitor assigned to that case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris also represented the family of Erik Salgado, who CHP officers shot to death after Salgado fled a traffic stop in Oakland in 2020. The CHP settled that case for $7 million last year, and some police accountability activists cite the agency’s chase policy as a factor in the killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any CHP officers investigating crimes in Oakland should receive additional training in implicit bias, the city’s communities and aspects of the settlement agreement governing use of force and police misconduct, Burris said. “We don’t want to have cops coming in and just thinking they can stop a car because there are Black and Hispanic kids in the car or demanding to search their cars just because you stopped them,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he was unaware of any complaints to his office about CHP stopping Oaklanders without probable cause during the surge but that his staff was monitoring the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHP officers are more likely to be white and male than both Oakland police officers and those in California law enforcement overall, \u003ca href=\"https://post.ca.gov/Law-Enforcement-Demographics\">according to the state’s Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training\u003c/a>. Helped by the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2023/11/chp-2023-salary-increase/\">automatic pay increases\u003c/a> officers receive under California law, CHP recently embarked on a recruiting campaign that \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/02/26/chp-recruitment/\">boosted applications\u003c/a> to join the agency at a time when many police departments are struggling to attract candidates.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Oakland’s vehicle chase policy, for example, is listed on the police department’s website; CHP asked CalMatters to file a formal public records before providing its policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither agency made any officials available for an interview for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>More lawyers for prosecution, but not defense\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Differences in law enforcement policy can lead to jurisdictional battles. Oakland’s police pulled out of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in 2020, and San Francisco’s did in 2017 after participating for at least a decade after civil liberties advocates raised concerns about FBI surveillance and profiling of ethnic and religious groups, immigrants and political protesters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have more restrictive policies in the Bay Area because that’s what our community is comfortable with,” Hofer said. “Bring in the state or feds and that all goes out the window.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police departments’ efforts to build trust with local communities can suffer when another law enforcement agency parachutes in for a brief period, said Jorja Leap, a professor at UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs who studies gang violence and community policing. She called the state’s deployment “a temporary fix for a deeply rooted problem” and a shift away from the efforts by cities, including Oakland, over the past two decades to engage with the root causes of crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a bunch of police chiefs who all stood up and said, ‘We can’t arrest our way out of the problem,’ ” she said. “And now we’ve got a governor going, ‘Yes, we can.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has pointed out that the state has also spent millions of dollars on community violence prevention programs, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.bscc.ca.gov/s_cpgpcalvipgrant/\">$6 million over three years for Oakland’s Operation Ceasefire\u003c/a>. However, his announcements of state public safety support to cities over the past year have focused largely on sending cops and prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the governor’s request, California National Guard lawyers and case analysts have been working fentanyl cases in San Francisco over the past year. Crime is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996211/san-francisco-crime-is-down-significantly-but-its-not-clear-trend-will-last\">down in the city\u003c/a>, while accidental drug overdose deaths in the first six months of this year ticked down just slightly compared with the same period last year, from 405 to 373. The state help has gotten a warm reception from Mayor London Breed and a chilly one from the San Francisco Public Defender’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The increased arrests for suspected drug-related crimes have filled our jails, clogged our courts, and harmed a lot of people who actually need help,” the public defender’s office said in a statement to CalMatters. “As predicted, arresting people for drug use has largely failed to get people into recovery programs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Newsom said in February that he would also send California National Guard lawyers to help prosecute Alameda County drug cases, the county’s chief public defender, Brendon Woods, noted that his office was not receiving any additional state resources. “This is only going to lead to more caging of Black and Brown people,” Woods posted on X at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom assigned the lawyers anyway, and when he deemed that District Attorney Price was not taking advantage of the support quickly enough, he inked an agreement earlier this month to have the prosecutors work out of the California Department of Justice instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Police said that the victim, a 16-year-old boy, was declared dead on the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than an hour later, officers responded to a second shooting on 102nd Avenue near International Boulevard, police said. Around 2 a.m., police located one of the victims, an 18-year-old from Antioch. He was assisted by paramedics and transported to a local hospital, where he was declared dead, according to a police spokesperson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police said they were notified that a second victim, a 17-year-old San Francisco resident, had arrived at a nearby hospital. He was pronounced dead after receiving treatment from hospital personnel. The names of the victims have not been released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph Griffin, the executive director of Youth Alive, a community-based violence prevention and intervention agency in Oakland, said that when young people are victims of gun violence, it has reverberating effects on their families and community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things that we know from doing this work and from our own personal experiences is that mourning comes in waves,” Griffin said. “Making sure that we’re there for the families in [the] immediate, but also in the long term to create a community around them is really important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young people who are exposed to high rates of violence over an extended period of time also have increased risks for developing chronic physical health conditions, like diabetes, later in life, according to Griffin. Family members often face financial burdens as well as mental health challenges, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Griffin told KQED that many of the people he works with in Oakland have or will experience more than one loss to gun violence in their lifetime. The three homicides on Monday brought the city’s total to 40 this year. In the same time period, San Francisco has reported 14 homicides, according to the San Francisco Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Griffin said exposure to violence can have a snowball effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having a history of violence in a community, where there’s trauma that’s passed down from generation to generation, it can make you more vulnerable to violence because the options become fewer,” Griffin said. “There’s cumulative trauma of having those folks who are in your life but are now gone too soon, folks who may have been part of your own support as a child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you start to fracture a community like that, it has many long-term impacts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Police said that the victim, a 16-year-old boy, was declared dead on the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than an hour later, officers responded to a second shooting on 102nd Avenue near International Boulevard, police said. Around 2 a.m., police located one of the victims, an 18-year-old from Antioch. He was assisted by paramedics and transported to a local hospital, where he was declared dead, according to a police spokesperson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police said they were notified that a second victim, a 17-year-old San Francisco resident, had arrived at a nearby hospital. He was pronounced dead after receiving treatment from hospital personnel. The names of the victims have not been released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph Griffin, the executive director of Youth Alive, a community-based violence prevention and intervention agency in Oakland, said that when young people are victims of gun violence, it has reverberating effects on their families and community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things that we know from doing this work and from our own personal experiences is that mourning comes in waves,” Griffin said. “Making sure that we’re there for the families in [the] immediate, but also in the long term to create a community around them is really important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Family members often face financial burdens as well as mental health challenges, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Griffin told KQED that many of the people he works with in Oakland have or will experience more than one loss to gun violence in their lifetime. The three homicides on Monday brought the city’s total to 40 this year. In the same time period, San Francisco has reported 14 homicides, according to the San Francisco Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Griffin said exposure to violence can have a snowball effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having a history of violence in a community, where there’s trauma that’s passed down from generation to generation, it can make you more vulnerable to violence because the options become fewer,” Griffin said. “There’s cumulative trauma of having those folks who are in your life but are now gone too soon, folks who may have been part of your own support as a child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you start to fracture a community like that, it has many long-term impacts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
