"bio": "Sandhya Dirks was the race and equity reporter at KQED. She approaches race and equity not as a beat, but as a fundamental lens for all investigative and explanatory reporting.\r\n\r\nSandhya covered policing, housing, social justice movements, and the shifting demographics of cities and suburbs.\r\n\r\nShe was the creator and co-host of the podcast American Suburb, about the transformation of suburbia into the most diverse space in American life. She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

"headTitle": "KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra on Wednesday released a \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/SPD%20Report%20Phase%20II.pdf\">new set of reform recommendations\u003c/a> for the Sacramento Police Department to consider in response to the 2018 fatal police shooting of Stephon Clark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, released Wednesday, encourages the department to revise its hiring and retention practices, prioritize de-escalation techniques and decrease the use of canine biting techniques, among other recommendations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was not a report meant to be printed and put on a shelf,” Becerra said during a virtual press briefing. \"I urge you [SPD] to read our recommendations and build on them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report follows an initial set of lengthy recommendations \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/spd-report.pdf\">released by the California Department of Justice\u003c/a> in January 2019, that specifically addressed the SPD's policies and practices regarding use of force and officer-involved shootings. The recommendations, some of which are reiterated in the most recent report, included banning the use of most chokeholds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"California Attorney General Xavier Becerra\"]'It’s not about just being sufficient as a police department. This is about being accountable and meeting the call for change.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This second phase of recommendations focuses more on improving the department's internal affairs policies. Neither of the reports are legally binding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not about just being sufficient as a police department,\" Becerra said. \"This is about being accountable and meeting the call for change. It's also about stepping up to make a difference when we're confronted by tragedy, because the shooting death of Stephon Clark back in 2018 was exactly that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the briefing, Becerra repeatedly praised SPD Chief Daniel Hahn\u003cb> \u003c/b>for allowing a thorough review of his department and striving for \"excellence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don’t often get asked to go in and really look at the inside of the operation. He really wanted to be a leader,\" Becerra said, adding that Hahn instructed investigators to \"come in and let me know how we can improve.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hahn — who notably did not attend today's briefing — called for the original AG report following the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/stephon-clark/\">March 2018 killing of Clark\u003c/a>, an unarmed 22-year-old Black man shot multiple times by police officers in the backyard of his grandmother's house. The incident sparked widespread protests in Sacramento and other cities, and drew national media attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following a nearly year-long investigation, Sacramento District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert did not charge the two officers who killed Clark, reigniting angry protests in the city. In a move assailed by activists, Becerra also declined to charge the officers, concluding that they legitimately believed Clark had a gun as he moved toward them. Both officers remain on active duty in the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the shooting, the city adopted a set of relatively modest reforms, including additional requirements for releasing body camera footage and a new foot patrol policy, changes that activists criticized as falling far short of what was needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although presenting himself as a civil rights defender, Becerra has \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-xavier-becerra-police-reform-20190309-story.html\">drawn criticism\u003c/a> from police reform activists and other progressives for protecting law enforcement and not fully backing legislative checks on police use of force. In 2019, he was also sued by civil rights groups for refusing to release use-of-force records, and later \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/03/01/xavier-becerra-california-ag-police-data-journalists-prosecution/\">threatened legal action\u003c/a> against Bay Area journalists who received a secret list of police misconduct records he said were improperly released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new AG's report also calls on the SPD to examine racial disparities in its stops, arrests and use of force. African Americans were involved in 43% of SPD’s use-of-force incidents between 2013 and 2018, it found, but made up just 13% of Sacramento’s population.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/stephon-clark/\">KQED's full coverage of the Stephon Clark shooting\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/stephon-clark/\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/radio/wp-content/uploads/sites/50/2019/03/infrared.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Additionally, the report urges the department to encourage officers to report issues without fear of retribution, and to rethink its recruitment and hiring practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want to make sure you’re hiring the best,\" Becerra said. \"If you're hiring the best, you can make sure you avoid some of those worst problems.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new recommendations come amid ongoing protests in scores of cities across the country — and the world — against police brutality, sparked by the widely denounced killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police in late May. In Sacramento, demonstrators have frequently invoked the death of Clark in their calls for sweeping reform of the city's police department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked what he would tell activists who are demanding real, immediate action — not just another report — Becerra said, \"I say, continue to peacefully make that call. Continue to stand strong. Understand that change does not come easily.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loosely quoting congressman and legendary civil rights John Lewis, Becerra advised activists to \"get in good trouble. Get in the way. Don't stop.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he noted the power of the status quo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're talking today about trying to change policing. I was trying to do that 30 years ago. And so it takes time,\" he said, referring to his years as a lawmaker. \"It may not come quickly enough, but I guarantee you, if we don’t push, if we don’t continue to ask and demand, inertia wins.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Neither of the reports are legally binding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s not about just being sufficient as a police department,\" Becerra said. \"This is about being accountable and meeting the call for change. It's also about stepping up to make a difference when we're confronted by tragedy, because the shooting death of Stephon Clark back in 2018 was exactly that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the briefing, Becerra repeatedly praised SPD Chief Daniel Hahn\u003cb> \u003c/b>for allowing a thorough review of his department and striving for \"excellence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don’t often get asked to go in and really look at the inside of the operation. He really wanted to be a leader,\" Becerra said, adding that Hahn instructed investigators to \"come in and let me know how we can improve.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hahn — who notably did not attend today's briefing — called for the original AG report following the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/stephon-clark/\">March 2018 killing of Clark\u003c/a>, an unarmed 22-year-old Black man shot multiple times by police officers in the backyard of his grandmother's house. The incident sparked widespread protests in Sacramento and other cities, and drew national media attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following a nearly year-long investigation, Sacramento District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert did not charge the two officers who killed Clark, reigniting angry protests in the city. In a move assailed by activists, Becerra also declined to charge the officers, concluding that they legitimately believed Clark had a gun as he moved toward them. Both officers remain on active duty in the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the shooting, the city adopted a set of relatively modest reforms, including additional requirements for releasing body camera footage and a new foot patrol policy, changes that activists criticized as falling far short of what was needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although presenting himself as a civil rights defender, Becerra has \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-xavier-becerra-police-reform-20190309-story.html\">drawn criticism\u003c/a> from police reform activists and other progressives for protecting law enforcement and not fully backing legislative checks on police use of force. In 2019, he was also sued by civil rights groups for refusing to release use-of-force records, and later \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/03/01/xavier-becerra-california-ag-police-data-journalists-prosecution/\">threatened legal action\u003c/a> against Bay Area journalists who received a secret list of police misconduct records he said were improperly released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Among the tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters who continue to pour into the streets of cities across the country — and the world — decrying America's long history of violent, racially unjust policing, one rallying cry has gained particular traction: 'Defund the police.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what that actually means varies widely depending on who you ask, from dismantling or flat-out abolishing existing police forces to slashing their hefty budgets and diverting those funds to social service programs, which proponents say would much better serve and protect many communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadly speaking, 'defunding the police' entails minimizing the outsize role law enforcement has come to assume in most U.S. cities as the default responder for all matters of complaints, and delegating many of those responsibilities to unarmed social workers and other behavioral health specialists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we talk about defunding the police, what we’re saying is, ‘Invest in the resources that our communities need,'” Black Lives Matter co-founder \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/5NrRIIeNFfo\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alicia Garza said recently on NBC’s “Meet the Press.\"\u003c/a> So much police response, she added, “is directed toward quality-of-life issues, homelessness, drug addiction, domestic violence and conflict.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As local leaders scramble to institute police reforms — from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823629/california-legislative-leaders-back-state-sleeper-hold-ban\">banning chokeholds\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824453/state-attorney-general-calls-for-a-way-to-ban-problem-cops-other-police-reforms\">heightening accountability\u003c/a> — many activists argue those tweaks won’t ultimately fix a system they consider fundamentally unjust. Real change, they contend, can only come about through a sweeping process of tearing down police departments and rethinking public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Pricey Business\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Since the 1970s, when tough-on-crime policies took hold, most U.S. cities have \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/06/12/upshot/cities-grew-safer-police-budgets-kept-growing.html\">funneled an increasingly large share of their budgets\u003c/a> into public safety, often at the expense of social service and anti-poverty programs. And police officers have been tasked with an ever-wider range of responsibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cities, spending on local police typically dwarfs investment in just about any other sector. In Oakland, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FY-2019-21-Adopted-Budget-Policy-Book-FINAL-WEB-VERSION.pdf\">about 20% of the city's entire budget\u003c/a> (total expenditures, not including education) — more than $318 million — goes to policing. That's nearly double the amount of any other city department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until very recently, any proposal to divest from police departments would have been dismissed by most city leaders as politically untenable. But as public pressure mounts in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police — among many other glaring recent incidents of police brutality — the idea has gained a strong foothold among a small but growing contingent of locally elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the current wave of protests, a veto-proof majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/06/07/vetoproof-majority-minneapolis-council-members-gives-support-dismantling-police-department\">nine City Council members\u003c/a> recently said they would move to dismantle the city's long-troubled police force, even as the mayor declined to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-04/lapd-budget-cuts-garcetti-protests-explainer\">grabbed headlines\u003c/a> this month when he unveiled a proposal to take $150 million from the city's massive police budget of over $1 billion and reinvest it in jobs programs, health initiatives and other services in communities of color. Although some activists say that doesn't go anywhere far enough, it marks a significant turnaround from April, when the mayor proposed a 7% funding \u003cem>increase\u003c/em> for the police. And on Monday – in an meeting once considered unthinkable – the Los Angeles City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-15/black-lives-matter-lapd-spending-peoples-budget-los-angeles-city-council\">heard from a coalition of activists\u003c/a> who presented a plan to end the city’s reliance on police officers and adopt new community safety strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lessons From a City That Disbanded the Police\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disbanding a police department and starting from scratch is not without precedent in the U.S. The city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following years of unabated violent crime, the city council \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">literally shut down the police department\u003c/a> — one that had long been considered inept and corrupt — and created an entirely new non-unionized department under county control. All officers were laid off and had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city's homicide rate has plummeted, as have once-plentiful excessive force complaints, while community-police relations seem to have significantly improved. The overhaul wasn’t a panacea by any stretch — problems with police accountability and racial disparities still exist in the city — but the experiment is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">generally considered a success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, however, many liberal leaders wary of appearing soft on crime or of incurring the wrath of powerful police unions are walking a fine line on an inherently thorny issue, acknowledging the need for reforms while clearly remaining reluctant to support sweeping overhauls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"police-violence\"]At a recent forum in Oakland on policing and racism, Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/09/gov-newsom-holds-meeting-on-racism-and-system-injustices-in-oakland-visits-miss-ollies/\">tiptoed around the issue\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re calling for eliminating police, no,” he said. “If you’re talking about reimagining and taking the opportunity to look at the responsibility and role that we place on law enforcement to be social workers, mental health workers, get involved in disputes where a badge and a gun are unnecessary, then I think absolutely this is an opportunity to look at all of the above.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, city leaders are beginning to propose policing reforms of various size and scope. None, though, has yet acceded to protesters' demands to completely dismantle or defund entire departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is the latest on what top local officials have so far proposed in the region's three largest cities, each of which has had its own troubling history of policing in Black and brown communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Francisco\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>SFPD budget (2019-20): \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/sites/default/files/CSF_Budget_Book_June_2019_Final_Web_REV2.pdf\">$695.7 million\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSworn officers: 2,260\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update: On July 31, San Francisco Mayor London Breed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11831527/sf-mayor-breeds-new-budget-would-redirect-120-million-from-police-to-citys-black-community\">unveiled a proposed budget\u003c/a> that includes pulling $120 million dollars from law enforcement agencies and putting it into programs that support the city’s largely underserved Black community. The previous month, Breed also directed the police department to no longer\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\"> respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a>, revise its accountability and anti-bias practices and stop using military-grade equipment.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite pressure from activists on the street, Breed made clear she has no intention of dismantling the city's police department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"San Francisco Mayor London Breed\"]'Completely dismantle? It is not something at this time that I think will serve the public.'[/pullquote]“I think it's understandable that people are feeling that way, but the fact is you have people who kill people, you have people who rob people and commit really horrible acts. And in those particular cases, there is a very strong need for law enforcement,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823865/london-breed-on-racism-i-have-lived-this-my-whole-life\">Breed recently told KQED's Scott Shafer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's important that our policies are adjusted and that we work to make our department better. And that definitely takes time. But to completely dismantle? It is not something at this time that I think will serve the public.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, however, Breed — who as mayor has consistently supported increasing SFPD's budget — proposed a set of major reforms that could transform San Francisco's on-the-ground policing operations. Most notably, SFPD \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\">will no longer respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a>, such as neighbor disputes, behavioral health crises and school discipline interventions. For calls that don't involve a threat to public safety, officers would be replaced by trained, unarmed social workers and behavioral health professionals, who Breed said are better equipped to de-escalate conflicts and limit unnecessary confrontations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11824152 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS5487_alt_297-1020x765.jpg']“We know that a lack of equity in our society overall leads to a lot of the problems that police are being asked to solve,” Breed said in a statement. “We are going to keep pushing for additional reforms and continue to find ways to reinvest in communities that have historically been underserved and harmed by systemic racism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed additionally proposed strengthening police accountability and anti-bias policies, and banning the department's use of military-grade weapons. She also joined Supervisor Shamann Walton in calling to divert an unspecified amount of funding from SFPD's budget to support programs in the city's African American community as a reparation for city policies that led to “decades of disinvestment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While few details about that plan have been given, Walton \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2020/06/san-francisco-police-chief-bill-scott-open-to-defunding-police-department/#:~:text=The%20chief%2C%20who%20oversees%20a,to%20be%20done%20%E2%80%9Cthoughtfully.%E2%80%9D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told Mission Local\u003c/a> he wanted to see “at least $25 million” redirected from the police department “if we are really trying to change some of the systemic issues oppressing Black people here in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed's reform proposals don’t include a budget or specifics, but are rather intended as a set of guidelines for the city's Police Commission and other city agencies to map out over the coming year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott recently said he was \"open\" to defunding a portion of his own department, as long as it's done \"thoughtfully.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re at a time in policing in this country where the whole world is speaking to us and we need to hear what’s being said,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Defund-San-Francisco-police-Chief-Bill-Scott-15328129.php\">Chief Scott said\u003c/a> during a panel hosted by the Alice B.

City leaders pledged to reallocate those savings to fund alternative safety measures, including the creation of a non-police unit to respond to some 911 mental health crisis calls. The city also plans to convene a committee tasked with shifting public safety resources from enforcement to prevention services, with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/news/2020/oaklands-mid-cycle-budget-cuts-14-3-million-from-police-budget-invests-additional-50-million-to-address-racial-disparities\">eventual stated goal\u003c/a> of reducing OPD's budget by 50%. Although a nod to activists' defunding demands, the new budget fell far short of the more substantial cuts that many are demanding.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Top officials in Oakland have so far mostly supported leaving the Oakland Police Department’s hefty budget largely intact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf\"]'I do not believe we need to defund in order to invest in ... community priorities.'[/pullquote]During Mayor Libby Schaaf's \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/MayorLibbySchaaf/videos/596597447632290/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">virtual town hall\u003c/a> on \"structural racism and police reform\" last week, just a day after \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.com/2020/06/11/de-fund-the-police-protesters-march-to-oakland-mayors-house\">thousands of protesters showed up outside her house\u003c/a> demanding she defund the police department, she acknowledged the need for major changes in the city's policing model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There's a growing schism around what safety means,” Schaaf said. “Many people feel police are here to protect and serve,” she said. ”But for a growing number of people, particularly people of color, police do not invoke a sense of safety.

It would cut about $5 million from the police department, reflecting citywide reductions due to the coronavirus economic fallout, but add roughly $22 million to programs supporting affordable housing, homelessness services and job training, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not believe we need to defund in order to invest in these community priorities,\" Schaaf said. \"That is what this budget does.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/defund-the-police-what-does-mean-oakland-department-mayor/6241314/\">interview last week with ABC7\u003c/a>, she added, \"We also must invest, not divest in training and holding accountable our officers, to make sure they are policing without any bias, without any unnecessary force, that they are conducting themselves in the ways that are consistent with our progressive values in Oakland, that requires investment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While offering little in the way of specifics, Schaaf suggested the need to invest in more \"non-law enforcement methods of safety,\" akin to Breed's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is definitely room to create more responses that don't involve a gun or a badge,\" she said, noting a \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/7/1/20677523/mental-health-police-cahoots-oregon-oakland-sweden\">program in Eugene, Oregon\u003c/a> that dispatches mobile crisis response teams, not law enforcement, to handle about 20% of all 911 calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Oakland City Councilwoman Nikki Fortunato Bas is taking a tack more in-line with protesters' demands, proposing Oakland divert some of the $300 million it spends on its police department to other social services and crisis responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To start, Bas said $25 million of the police budget should fund trained mediators and social service programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In places like Oakland, where we've been under a negotiated settlement agreement to get to constitutional policing, and we have not achieved that in 17 years, I think the time for reform is over,” she said. “We have to rethink how we get to safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11823933 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS43611_020_KQED_HalfMoonBay_OxMountainLandfill_05292020-qut-1020x679.jpg']And last week, the Oakland Unified School District \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823933/plans-to-scrap-school-police-backed-by-oakland-education-leaders\">got one step closer\u003c/a> to dismantling its internal police force after OUSD Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammell announced her support for a proposal put forward by two school board members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am recommending that we move forward to create a district-wide safety plan to ensure safe, healthy and positive school environments for students and adults without a school district police department,\" Johnson-Trammell said during a virtual school board meeting. “Together, we can reimagine how to keep our schools safe, healthy and welcoming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activists led by the group Black Organizing Project have been pushing to dissolve the OUSD police department since 2011, when a school district police sergeant \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/1-million-deal-in-shooting-by-Oakland-schools-cop-4872706.php\">shot and killed Raheim Brown\u003c/a>, a 20-year-old Black man, in the passenger seat of a car parked near Skyline High School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of the proposal argue the cash-strapped district should redirect its police budget to hire more school social workers, psychologists and restorative justice practitioners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an opportunity “to redefine community safety in our schools, to reinvest in our schools, to reinvest in our students and to be a model for this entire country of what is possible,” BOP director Jackie Byers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Jose\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>SJPD budget (2019-20): \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=58414\">$464.5 million\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSworn officers: 959\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters also recently \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/12/police-violence-protesters-gather-outside-san-jose-mayors-house/\">paid a visit\u003c/a> to San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo's house, similarly calling for him to defund the city's police department.

Real change, they contend, can only come about through a sweeping process of tearing down police departments and rethinking public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And police officers have been tasked with an ever-wider range of responsibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cities, spending on local police typically dwarfs investment in just about any other sector. In Oakland, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FY-2019-21-Adopted-Budget-Policy-Book-FINAL-WEB-VERSION.pdf\">about 20% of the city's entire budget\u003c/a> (total expenditures, not including education) — more than $318 million — goes to policing. That's nearly double the amount of any other city department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until very recently, any proposal to divest from police departments would have been dismissed by most city leaders as politically untenable. But as public pressure mounts in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police — among many other glaring recent incidents of police brutality — the idea has gained a strong foothold among a small but growing contingent of locally elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the current wave of protests, a veto-proof majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/06/07/vetoproof-majority-minneapolis-council-members-gives-support-dismantling-police-department\">nine City Council members\u003c/a> recently said they would move to dismantle the city's long-troubled police force, even as the mayor declined to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-04/lapd-budget-cuts-garcetti-protests-explainer\">grabbed headlines\u003c/a> this month when he unveiled a proposal to take $150 million from the city's massive police budget of over $1 billion and reinvest it in jobs programs, health initiatives and other services in communities of color. Although some activists say that doesn't go anywhere far enough, it marks a significant turnaround from April, when the mayor proposed a 7% funding \u003cem>increase\u003c/em> for the police. And on Monday – in an meeting once considered unthinkable – the Los Angeles City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-15/black-lives-matter-lapd-spending-peoples-budget-los-angeles-city-council\">heard from a coalition of activists\u003c/a> who presented a plan to end the city’s reliance on police officers and adopt new community safety strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lessons From a City That Disbanded the Police\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disbanding a police department and starting from scratch is not without precedent in the U.S. The city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following years of unabated violent crime, the city council \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">literally shut down the police department\u003c/a> — one that had long been considered inept and corrupt — and created an entirely new non-unionized department under county control. All officers were laid off and had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city's homicide rate has plummeted, as have once-plentiful excessive force complaints, while community-police relations seem to have significantly improved. The overhaul wasn’t a panacea by any stretch — problems with police accountability and racial disparities still exist in the city — but the experiment is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">generally considered a success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, however, many liberal leaders wary of appearing soft on crime or of incurring the wrath of powerful police unions are walking a fine line on an inherently thorny issue, acknowledging the need for reforms while clearly remaining reluctant to support sweeping overhauls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The city's police officers responded to over 100,000 calls last year, she noted, and have been instrumental in saving lives, preventing crime and bringing justice to victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a moment where we can continue to see this divide, or choose a third story, where government intervention and armed response is no longer necessary,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schaaf also touted her current budget proposal — one submitted before Floyd's death — as a step in the right direction. It would cut about $5 million from the police department, reflecting citywide reductions due to the coronavirus economic fallout, but add roughly $22 million to programs supporting affordable housing, homelessness services and job training, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not believe we need to defund in order to invest in these community priorities,\" Schaaf said. \"That is what this budget does.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/defund-the-police-what-does-mean-oakland-department-mayor/6241314/\">interview last week with ABC7\u003c/a>, she added, \"We also must invest, not divest in training and holding accountable our officers, to make sure they are policing without any bias, without any unnecessary force, that they are conducting themselves in the ways that are consistent with our progressive values in Oakland, that requires investment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While offering little in the way of specifics, Schaaf suggested the need to invest in more \"non-law enforcement methods of safety,\" akin to Breed's proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is definitely room to create more responses that don't involve a gun or a badge,\" she said, noting a \u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/7/1/20677523/mental-health-police-cahoots-oregon-oakland-sweden\">program in Eugene, Oregon\u003c/a> that dispatches mobile crisis response teams, not law enforcement, to handle about 20% of all 911 calls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Oakland City Councilwoman Nikki Fortunato Bas is taking a tack more in-line with protesters' demands, proposing Oakland divert some of the $300 million it spends on its police department to other social services and crisis responders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To start, Bas said $25 million of the police budget should fund trained mediators and social service programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In places like Oakland, where we've been under a negotiated settlement agreement to get to constitutional policing, and we have not achieved that in 17 years, I think the time for reform is over,” she said. “We have to rethink how we get to safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

During one standoff, police donned gas masks in preparation for tear gas, used all three nights prior. Later in the evening, the march progressed through the residential area near Santa Rosa Junior College, where marchers sang “Happy Birthday” to Andy Lopez while dozens of residents offered supportive gestures from their porches. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/gmeline/status/1268055164042141697?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar demonstrations took place in the days and nights previous as hundreds took to the streets. Protesters chanted and marched throughout the city’s downtown area, held moments of silence and knelt on one knee in solidarity with George Floyd and others killed by police. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three people were arrested in Santa Rosa on \u003ca href=\"https://local.nixle.com/alert/8026158/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Saturday\u003c/a>, a night in which police shot tear gas twice, and demonstrators took over the freeway twice.

That night, after a line of police kept a march from entering the freeway again, some protesters broke store windows at the Santa Rosa Plaza and held a loud sideshow at the intersection of Fourth Street and Mendocino Avenue. After a brawl involving about 20 broke out, demonstrators were able to push away troublemakers, kneel in the intersection and refocus the protest on police brutality. Police then shot tear gas to break up crowds. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://local.nixle.com/alert/8029846/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monday’s protests\u003c/a> led to 27 arrests, including 17 adults and 10 juveniles. All arrestees were from Santa Rosa but one, from Petaluma. The night also led to police officers shooting more tear gas in addition to rubber bullets at demonstrators, including a local tribal leader who sustained \u003ca href=\"https://www.radical-guide.com/local-indigenous-tribal-leader-hospitalized-due-to-santa-rosa-police-department-violence/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">serious injuries to his mouth and jaw\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protests have since dwindled in size.

Federal immigration agents also raided 7-Eleven stores across the country, looking for undocumented immigrants and managers who employ them.

He’s been representing police officers, including Oakland officers, for 30 years. He acknowledges that the conversation around policing has swept the country after a number of high-profile killing of black men by officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These factors have created a sort of perfect storm of support for the police commission. But it wasn’t always that way, according to Rashida Grinage. \u003ca href=\"http://kalw.org/post/oakland-city-administrator-says-civilian-oversight-police-faces-roadblocks#stream/0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">She’s been pushing \u003c/a>for civilian oversight for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grinage looks a bit like a sweet grandmother, but she’s proved herself to be a relentless fighter, spurred to action by a terrible tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s the way most activists begin,” she says. Her fight started with a personal loss. “In 1993, I lost my husband and one of my four sons to the Oakland Police Department.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An animal nuisance call ended in a shootout between Grinage’s son and police. Her husband was killed in the crossfire. An OPD officer also died. OPD’s investigation found her son opened fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Grinage says she fought for years to try and learn \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Chilling-Account-of-Tragedy-Recording-of-93-2934207.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what happened that day\u003c/a>. She felt the OPD’s account was lacking, and whatever the details were, she is sure race played a role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My husband is African-American, my son obviously mixed. If I had been home to answer the door as a Caucasian, I think things would have ended very differently. I think everyone would still be alive today,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that, at heart, Measure LL is about accountability. Activists like her believe investigations into officer-involved shootings are biased and that officers cover for each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been hard to get an \u003ca href=\"http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/In-Texas-and-California-police-fail-to-report-9958631.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accurate official count\u003c/a> of police shootings across the country. An \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/law-enforcement-killed-90-oakland-residents-since-2000-and-74-percent-were-black/Content?oid=4940357\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">East Bay Express investigation\u003c/a> earlier this year used data from\u003ca href=\"http://www.fatalencounters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Fatal Encounters\u003c/a>, a journalist-run website, to calculate police shootings in Oakland. They found that between 2000 and 2015, local law enforcement killed 90 people in Oakland, 74 percent of whom were black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s Police Department has already had a fair amount of scrutiny. After the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/OAKLAND-Riders-lied-brutalized-man-2629441.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Riders Case\u003c/a> in which officers bribed, framed and set up citizens — mostly African-Americans — \u003ca href=\"http://www.jimchanin.com/civilrightscases.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a civil rights lawsuit\u003c/a> led to a federal judge to impose a monitor to watch over the department and ensure that reforms laid out in a negotiated settlement were implemented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And after \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/05/oakland-police-avoid-federal-takeover-give-up-control-of-department/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a rocky road\u003c/a>, it was working, according to police and city officials. Things were getting better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city was lauded by the Obama administration as an \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Obama-official-says-Oakland-s-police-department-6483838.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">example of 21st century policing\u003c/a>. Oakland police opened themselves up to be studied by \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/science/la-sci-jennifer-eberhardt-genius-20140917-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MacArthur “genius grant” award winner Jennifer Eberhardt\u003c/a>, whose stark report found that officers were more likely to \u003ca href=\"http://news.stanford.edu/2016/06/15/stanford-big-data-study-finds-racial-disparities-oakland-calif-police-behavior-offers-solutions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stop, search and handcuff\u003c/a> people of color, especially African-American men. Oakland police shared their data with Eberhardt and were open about the results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could have been a turning point for the department. Except the week Eberhardt’s research was released, news of the sexual exploitation scandal also broke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Councilman Dan Kalb worked with Grinage to draft the legislation for the police commission. He says that 13 years of federal oversight have helped the department, but he believes strong civilian oversight is ultimately needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need a civilian commission that is going to look at things on a permanent basis, and on a full-time basis,” Kalb says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why Kalb and City Councilman Noel Gallo co-sponsored the Police Commission measure. At city council meetings there was \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2016/07/25/town-business-did-opoa-gut-the-police-commission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrangling over the amount of power the commission would have\u003c/a> and how commissioners would be appointed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kalb says the final product was a compromise, but one that didn’t sacrifice the ultimate goal of civilian oversight with teeth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the final draft, the mayor will be allowed to appoint three of the seven commissioners. Some activists were furious about this, but Kalb says the measure still creates a fundamentally independent body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In council meetings, the Oakland Police Officer’s Association expressed concern about the commission. Particularly worrisome to them was the section that revoked binding arbitration for police officers. Other \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2016/06/14/city-of-oakland-unions-united-against-police-reform-proposal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">city unions also balked\u003c/a> at that. They feared doing away with binding arbitration for police could create a slippery slope in other employee discipline cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Binding arbitration is out, but much of what activists wanted remains in the final plan. The OPOA did not respond to requests for comment on Measure LL from KQED. They are also, as of late October, not actively campaigning against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they are campaigning against Gallo and Kalb. Both councilmen are running for re-election to their city council seats and \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2016/10/17/town-business-police-union-attacks-kalb-and-gallo-oakland-claims-garbage-contracts-no-problem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OPOA has spent almost $35,000\u003c/a> to unseat them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The police officer’s union has sent out hit pieces on us,” Kalb says. He says objectively, he can’t understand why. “Both Noel and I have been supportive of growing our department, paying them well. I took the lead on hiring more investigators.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kalb is adamant that being pro-police and pro-police commission are not in opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rockne Lucia, the lawyer who represents police, says the Oakland Police Department is already under the microscope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s probably the department in the country with the most oversight, the most accountability of any police department in the country,” Lucia says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he understands the calls for transparency, and he says police have no problem with citizen oversight, but in this heightened political climate, they’re worried about the way it may work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people with political agendas get involved with police oversight, civilian review, then they are going to bring those prejudices, those biases with them, as part of the review process,” Lucia says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But civil rights lawyer John Burris says especially given the fractured relationship between the police and the community, the commission could create a bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will offer an opportunity for the public to be more involved,” Burris says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris is no stranger to police oversight. He’s one of the lawyers that sued Oakland in the Rider’s case, leading to the federal monitor. Like Lucia, Burris also warns of what could happen if the police commission plays politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The danger of course when you have a police commission is whether or not it becomes politicized,” Burris says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his concerns go in the opposite direction. To be truly independent a commission can’t be influenced by politicians who want to protect the city’s reputation and pocketbook, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He knows the federal monitor won’t be there forever. But if voters approve Measure LL, the police commission will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris says civilian oversight will only be successful if the newly created commission gets the support of OPD, from the top brass to the rank-and-file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hopeful that there will be sufficient buy-in by the police officers within the department, that’s a function of the chief, and the command staff, and how it’s communicated to the officers,” Burris says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland is currently without a permanent police chief, but the city is engaged in\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/08/29/oakland-has-plum-job-for-reform-minded-leader-as-opd-seeks-new-chief/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> search for the position\u003c/a>, and expects to have it filled in the beginning of 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Measure LL passes, it will present an experiment in policing the police. Whether it will add another layer of bureaucracy or whether it will help Oakland on it’s journey to create real lasting police reform is impossible to predict, Burris says.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Activists like her believe investigations into officer-involved shootings are biased and that officers cover for each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been hard to get an \u003ca href=\"http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/In-Texas-and-California-police-fail-to-report-9958631.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accurate official count\u003c/a> of police shootings across the country. An \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/law-enforcement-killed-90-oakland-residents-since-2000-and-74-percent-were-black/Content?oid=4940357\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">East Bay Express investigation\u003c/a> earlier this year used data from\u003ca href=\"http://www.fatalencounters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Fatal Encounters\u003c/a>, a journalist-run website, to calculate police shootings in Oakland. They found that between 2000 and 2015, local law enforcement killed 90 people in Oakland, 74 percent of whom were black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s Police Department has already had a fair amount of scrutiny. After the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/OAKLAND-Riders-lied-brutalized-man-2629441.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Riders Case\u003c/a> in which officers bribed, framed and set up citizens — mostly African-Americans — \u003ca href=\"http://www.jimchanin.com/civilrightscases.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a civil rights lawsuit\u003c/a> led to a federal judge to impose a monitor to watch over the department and ensure that reforms laid out in a negotiated settlement were implemented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And after \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/05/oakland-police-avoid-federal-takeover-give-up-control-of-department/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a rocky road\u003c/a>, it was working, according to police and city officials. Things were getting better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city was lauded by the Obama administration as an \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Obama-official-says-Oakland-s-police-department-6483838.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">example of 21st century policing\u003c/a>. Oakland police opened themselves up to be studied by \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/science/la-sci-jennifer-eberhardt-genius-20140917-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MacArthur “genius grant” award winner Jennifer Eberhardt\u003c/a>, whose stark report found that officers were more likely to \u003ca href=\"http://news.stanford.edu/2016/06/15/stanford-big-data-study-finds-racial-disparities-oakland-calif-police-behavior-offers-solutions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stop, search and handcuff\u003c/a> people of color, especially African-American men. Oakland police shared their data with Eberhardt and were open about the results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could have been a turning point for the department. Except the week Eberhardt’s research was released, news of the sexual exploitation scandal also broke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Councilman Dan Kalb worked with Grinage to draft the legislation for the police commission. He says that 13 years of federal oversight have helped the department, but he believes strong civilian oversight is ultimately needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need a civilian commission that is going to look at things on a permanent basis, and on a full-time basis,” Kalb says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why Kalb and City Councilman Noel Gallo co-sponsored the Police Commission measure. At city council meetings there was \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2016/07/25/town-business-did-opoa-gut-the-police-commission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrangling over the amount of power the commission would have\u003c/a> and how commissioners would be appointed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kalb says the final product was a compromise, but one that didn’t sacrifice the ultimate goal of civilian oversight with teeth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the final draft, the mayor will be allowed to appoint three of the seven commissioners. Some activists were furious about this, but Kalb says the measure still creates a fundamentally independent body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In council meetings, the Oakland Police Officer’s Association expressed concern about the commission. Particularly worrisome to them was the section that revoked binding arbitration for police officers. Other \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2016/06/14/city-of-oakland-unions-united-against-police-reform-proposal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">city unions also balked\u003c/a> at that. They feared doing away with binding arbitration for police could create a slippery slope in other employee discipline cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Binding arbitration is out, but much of what activists wanted remains in the final plan. The OPOA did not respond to requests for comment on Measure LL from KQED. They are also, as of late October, not actively campaigning against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they are campaigning against Gallo and Kalb. Both councilmen are running for re-election to their city council seats and \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayexpress.com/SevenDays/archives/2016/10/17/town-business-police-union-attacks-kalb-and-gallo-oakland-claims-garbage-contracts-no-problem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OPOA has spent almost $35,000\u003c/a> to unseat them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The police officer’s union has sent out hit pieces on us,” Kalb says. He says objectively, he can’t understand why. “Both Noel and I have been supportive of growing our department, paying them well. I took the lead on hiring more investigators.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kalb is adamant that being pro-police and pro-police commission are not in opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rockne Lucia, the lawyer who represents police, says the Oakland Police Department is already under the microscope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s probably the department in the country with the most oversight, the most accountability of any police department in the country,” Lucia says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he understands the calls for transparency, and he says police have no problem with citizen oversight, but in this heightened political climate, they’re worried about the way it may work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When people with political agendas get involved with police oversight, civilian review, then they are going to bring those prejudices, those biases with them, as part of the review process,” Lucia says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But civil rights lawyer John Burris says especially given the fractured relationship between the police and the community, the commission could create a bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will offer an opportunity for the public to be more involved,” Burris says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris is no stranger to police oversight. He’s one of the lawyers that sued Oakland in the Rider’s case, leading to the federal monitor. Like Lucia, Burris also warns of what could happen if the police commission plays politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The danger of course when you have a police commission is whether or not it becomes politicized,” Burris says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his concerns go in the opposite direction. To be truly independent a commission can’t be influenced by politicians who want to protect the city’s reputation and pocketbook, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He knows the federal monitor won’t be there forever. But if voters approve Measure LL, the police commission will.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris says civilian oversight will only be successful if the newly created commission gets the support of OPD, from the top brass to the rank-and-file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m hopeful that there will be sufficient buy-in by the police officers within the department, that’s a function of the chief, and the command staff, and how it’s communicated to the officers,” Burris says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland is currently without a permanent police chief, but the city is engaged in\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/08/29/oakland-has-plum-job-for-reform-minded-leader-as-opd-seeks-new-chief/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> search for the position\u003c/a>, and expects to have it filled in the beginning of 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
