These statistics are drawn from the Oakland Police Dept. database. They are unaudited and not used to figure the crime numbers reported to the FBI’s Uniform
Crime Reporting (UCR) program. This report is run by the date the crimes occurred. Statistics can be affected by late reporting, the geocoding process, or the
reclassification or unfounding of crimes. Because crime reporting and data entry can run behind, all crimes may not be recorded.

conflicts and homeless encampment related circumstances.

commanders to direct available resources to those areas most effected
by violent crime.
o Prioritized patrol and supplemental presence during times/days and
locations where offenses were trending.
o The VCOC and stakeholders directed resources to those locations and
those individuals who were most likely driving the violence.
o Prioritized Ceasefire strategies and referrals/requests to and for
assistance, outreach, and prevention.
o Units, when available, were placed on ShotSpotter response details.
o Restoration funding was directed to the areas of Beat 27X and 76th and
Spencer based on shooting related data.

followed up on in partnership with the Criminal Investigations Division.
Police Area 4
Community Project And Our Results
Beat 27X – Illegal Gaming Hall
Beat 27X was the driving Beat for increased violence in the Area. CRO Ofc. Hohn
partnered with community stakeholders and identified an illegal gaming hall in the
5400 block of International Blvd. Illegal gaming halls often are the center of violent
criminal activity to include shootings and armed robberies.
Over several months their investigation led to a search warrant of the premises where
illegal gaming evidence was recovered. CRO officers partnered with the City
Attorney’s office and issued a nuisance abatement letter. The letter was received;
however, the activities did not cease. Ofc Hohn then partnered with Oakland Fire,
Public Works, and PG&E to permanently disable the buildings electrical supply rending
the gaming hall inoperable. Several follow up assessments have been done and the
gaming hall remains closed.
Results
The results of OPDs Command Directive demonstrated two significant results. While
City wide ShotSpotter activations were up year to date across the board, Area 4
showed the second lowest increase in the City. More impressively, the 2020 Vs. 2021
Year to Date homicide rate in Area 4 was decreased by 40%.

escalating the violence.

reaching out to involved parties to prevent further violence.

increase, we did the following:

assistance, outreach, and prevention.

areas where groups or gangs were known to loiter in Area 5. As a result
of the data, intelligence reports were provided to Patrol commanders to

intelligence-led stops during times/days and locations where offenses
were trending.

Ceasefire
Captain Tony Jones
General operational overview - Ceasefire focuses on gang and group violence in the city of
Oakland through a partnership with community-based organizations. The strategy involves
direct communication with those most prone to being a victim or offender of shootings.
The strategy is data driven and involves coordination with DVP and outside law
enforcement partners
Mission and purpose - The mission of ceasefire is to reduce the number of shootings and
homicides in Oakland, reduce recidivism and increase public trust. A heavy emphasis is
placed on data driving enforcement and direct communication.
Key initiatives and results - Pre-Covid, Ceasefire had been responsible for reducing
shootings and homicide in half. The program has been formally evaluated and its
effectiveness is widely known throughout policing and community-based entities that focus
on intervention.
Challenges and successes - The reduction in staff has created operational challenge. One of
the 4 teams were cut which impacted operations. Attrition has also impacted staffing with
officers leaving the agency. Post Covid, OPD has been able to resume direct communication
with at risk offenders in an attempt to guide them toward services.
