One of the challenges this unit faced in prior years was trying to reduce the constant turnover of personnel in a unit responsible for critical Negotiated Settlement Agreement oversight in BFO. In 2008, a staffing stability that helped maintain consistent oversight of the above mentioned NSA mandates. Fiscal Concerns The Administration Section (Organization Codes 105110 & 105120) is responsible for assisting with management of the Bureau’s budget and supply purchases. The primary

concern for the Bureau was the overtime expenditures. The two major areas of controllable overtime are: 1. Patrol Division Beats: To provide a reasonable response time to calls for service,

maximize officer safety, minimize officer fatigue, the Area Command attempted to ensure that there were 38 officers on-duty during each watch:

• 35 beat officers, • 2 wagon officers and • 1 desk officer.

The implementation of 12 hours shifts eliminated the need for mandatory overtime in the Patrol Division. Some overtime shifts did occur for special projects and the Sideshow. Other positions were filled on a voluntary basis. Overtime shifts varied from 5 to 10 hrs; most were in the 5 hour range. The BFO's civilian employees were furloughed 5 days in 2008 as part of the cities Mandatory Business Shutdown (MBS).

2. Special Enforcement Activity: In addition, to the voluntary overtime utilized to fill

beats, overtime was needed to address certain activities such as significant holidays, nightclub disturbances, etc.

Personnel costs/O&M budget information is summarized in the following table:

Unit Appropriation Categories Budget Appropriation Actual Expenditures Differences O & M 92,972.58 6,356.95 86,615.36Grants Council Go Pay 50,000.00 15,619.29 20,374.35Personnel (excluding OT) 15,748.13 20,020.65 -4,272.52Overtime 73,635.95 124,388.80 -50,752.87 O&M: The great majority of the expenditures this period were for replacement of Department reporting forms such as Crime Reports, Arrest Report-Face Sheets, Supplemental Report forms, etc. The unit also purchases items such as pens, pencils, computer CDs, computer printer ink cartridges, etc. Personnel: During this period regularly assigned personnel were supplemented by two officers both in transitional duty. Both completed their transitional duty assignments and transferred back to their areas in patrol. Other Performance Data: During 2008 one staff member was involved in a Level 4 Use of Force. No BFO staff was involved in any vehicle collisions, vehicle pursuits, firearm discharges, or Internal Affair Complaints. Training: During 2008 one of the Field Training Program Coordinator attended POST required training. Other “in house” training was provided by Sergeants Powell and Foppiano, which did not include training provided by the Training Division.

Significant Accomplishments During 2008, the Administration Section accomplished the following: 1. Developed computerized filing systems to a maintain documents required by the

NSA. 2. Continued to use Microsoft Office Tasking, Access and Excel to automate the

tracking of BFO correspondence, reports and assignments.

3. Implemented a tracking system available to all BFO commanders and supervisors on an internal shared server, which allowed for participation on their part in the form of monitoring progress on, and marking completion of, NSA tasks.

4. Conducted random audits to ensure that NSA mandates were being followed. 5. Tracking PAS threshold reviews and PAS quarterly meetings. 2009 Goals 1. Continue to ensure compliance with the provisions of the NSA. 2. Maintain communications between administration and the Area/Command to ensure

the smooth flow of necessary information. 3. Involve BFO Administrative Unit staff in the training of BFO personnel on legal

updates, Negotiated Settlement Agreement mandates, and other topics as they arise. 4. To assist the Area Administrative Sergeants in tracking Division Level Investigations,

Use of Force Reports, Pursuit Reports, Vehicle Collision Reports, and Performance Appraisals.

Patrol Division, Area One

2008 Annual Report SUMMARY On January 12, 2008, the Department reorganized from a temporal based watch system to a geographic, “Area Command System.” Area One includes West and North Oakland and is bordered by the Berkeley Hills on the north, Lake Merritt on the east, the Oakland Estuary on the south, and the Bay on the west. Area One patrol personnel provide day to day police services that includes response to emergency and non-emergency calls for service and critical incidents, conducting preliminary investigations and evidence collection, engaging in community oriented problem solving, and crime fighting efforts. In addition to patrol officers, Area One personnel includes community policing officers, crime response team officers, neighborhood enhancement team officers, foot patrol officers, police service technicians, and police evidence technicians. Our goal in 2008 was to fully implement geographic command, reduce crime, enhance community policing efforts, and ensure compliance with the NSA and Department policies and procedures, and manage discretionary overtime.

There were no hiring freezes; the Department aggressively recruited and hired new members throughout the year. Four officers were on long term injury/illness. FISCAL MANAGEMENT Category Budget Encumbrance Expenditure Difference O&M 966,679.7 114,783.84 305,060.30 546,835.60 Grants 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Personnel 14,929,761.00 0.00 14,994,335.00 (64,574.45) Overtime 291,115.8 0.00 1,728,149.00 (1,437,034.00)

Overtime costs exceeded budgeted appropriations for the following reasons. The overtime budget inherited by Area One, in January 2008, was left over money from the previous temporal watch based organizational structure. The money was divided and appropriated to the three geographical areas and from the start this was insufficient. Additionally, there was a “culture of overtime” minimal overtime management. Budgetary cutbacks have mandated stricter accountability in controlling discretionary overtime. Some measures include the elimination of backfill overtime to cover open beats, enhanced supervisory and command monitoring of extension of shift overtime, and closer analysis of crime patterns and trends when utilizing overtime on directed patrols. The Personnel budget also exceeded appropriations, but only by a small amount. This is explained by how the budget was divided during the reorganization. In addition, there were numerous transfers in and out of Area One. The physical movement of personnel is different than the budget associated with the transfer. For example, officers who are bilingual and at top step cost more than officers who do not have those premiums.

TRAINING RECEIVED AND/OR PROVIDED Area personnel were in compliance with NSA mandated training. In addition to receiving Department-wide training regarding new policies and procedures, area personnel was proactive in providing additional training. Some examples include:

10

• Reality-based officer involved shooting scenario training using simmunitions. • Lineup training involving shoot/don’t shoot scenarios. • Development of the Oakland Police Leadership School, graduating forty-four

sworn and non-sworn students. • The following policies were authored by Area personnel:

o Training Bulletin V-M.1, Bubble Ordinance o BFO P&P 08-08, Sobering Center o BFO P&P 08-09, Detox Center

SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Area One had numerous accomplishments in 2008. Some of these include: • Successful transition from the watch system to geographical command. • All twenty Area One community policing beats assigned a problem solving

officer. • Five officers assigned as neighborhood enhancement team officers in the

downtown, West Oakland, and North Oakland area. • Operation “Nutcracker,” a three-month criminal investigation into the Acorn gang

in West Oakland. Area One crime response and problem solving teams worked in collaboration with CID and other patrol division resources. As a result, fifty-six upper and midlevel gang members were arrested and fifty-four guns were recovered. At the conclusion of this endeavor, problem solving officers began a partnership with Acorn property management groups to establish a line of communication, share information, and strengthen community and police relations.

• Oakland hills burglary investigation by problem solving officers. During the month of September 2008, there was a rash of burglaries in the Oakland Hills. Problem solving officers began investigating these crimes in collaboration with CID investigators. Problem solving officers re-interviewed witnesses, canvassed neighborhoods, collected evidence (fingerprinting), and provided burglary

prevention information to the hill community. Two suspects were subsequently arrested and charged with over twenty counts of burglary.

• Established a strong working relationship with Measure Y Outreach to provide street level mentoring, counseling, and referrals to Measure Y and local service providers in high crime areas. The outreach workers respond to areas that have been identified based on emerging violent crime patterns and trends.

• Creation of the West Oakland Call-In. Working in collaboration with the Probation Department, the District Attorney’s Office, the U.S Attorney’s Office, Measure Y Outreach, and local businesses, this first-of-its-kind project identifies at-risk probationers in targeted high crime areas. The probationers are invited to a meeting where the law enforcement component discusses of the consequences of engaging in criminal misconduct—conveying the reality of incarceration and gun violence. Then, probationers are offered jobs and referred to other Measure Y services with the opportunity to change their lives. This program is expanding to include parolees and persons identified by the police who are not under any formal supervision but are considered at-risk.

• In July, forty-three area one members were certified as field training officers—the largest of all three areas. A total of 89 new police officers were trained helping the Department exceed the mandated 803 staffing level.

• Area personnel were acknowledged for their exemplary performance. Numerous Letters of Appreciation were received from citizens recognizing outstanding service from officers, supervisors, and commanders. In addition, the following awards were received: one Medal of Merit, two Captain’s Commendations, and six City Council Commendations. Lastly, three members were promoted during the year: one to captain, one to lieutenant, and one to sergeant.

PRODUCTIVITY PERFORMANCE DATA Area One personnel were dispatched to over 98,700 calls for service, completing over 14,700 crime reports. Both crime reduction teams (CRT) engaged in regular crime reduction duties until July when they transitioned to Field Training Teams. Problem solving teams (PSO) were affected as they were required to engage in more crime reduction type work (surveillance, buy-bust operations, etc); they also utilized patrol resources to a greater extent. The following table illustrates enforcement efforts by area personnel:

IAD investigations completed by area personnel did not reveal negative patterns or at-risk behavior. There were 559 reported uses of force (2 Level One, 23 Level Two, 29 Level Three, and 505 Level Four); negative patterns or at-risk behavior regarding use of force were not identified. There were twenty preventable collisions involving city vehicles. Supervisors and commanders did an exceptional job of monitoring pursuits and determining whether the need to apprehend the violator outweighed public safety. All personnel received training on the new pursuit policy. Several “one-day” audits were conducted to ensure member were in compliance with NSA and Departmental policies (e.g. Stop Data Form, arrest approval, vehicle inspections, and supervisory notes files). Area personnel were in compliance with bi-weekly subordinate meeting requirements; all annual and probationary ratings were completed.

PLANS, EXPECTATIONS, AND GOALS

State of the Area I am pleased with the hard work, dedication, and professionalism exhibited by area personnel. We have adjusted well to the reorganization. As a whole, officers are conducting thorough investigations, making quality arrests, responding to calls for 1 IA means Internal Affairs complaints; K-4 means uses of force; J-4 means vehicle pursuits; COLL means preventable vehicle collisions. 2 This number represents IA complaints investigated by Area personnel. The number of cases investigated by IAD was not available.

service, and engaging in community policing efforts. Sergeants and commanders have been effective in providing strong leadership, managing critical incidents, investigating and reviewing uses of force, vehicle pursuits, and division level investigations; our successful year is due in large part to their efforts. Visions and Goals for 2009 As the area one commander, my vision for 2009 is to have the best trained officers in the organization. To accomplish this, I will develop intra-area training and identify training opportunities outside of the Department. All of this will be in addition to POST mandated and other standard Departmental training. The benefits of highly trained officers include increased officer safety, improved performance, reduction of at-risk behavior or improper conduct, and improved crime fighting efforts. My specific goals for 2009 include:

• Reduce the reality and perception of crime and disorder; crime reduction will mirror the Department goal of reducing violent crime by 10%.

• Increase the complexity of patrol based POP projects to further decrease crime and calls for service, while strengthening community relations.

• Provide strong leadership at the command, supervisory, and field training level. • Sustained compliance with the NSA and Department policy and procedure. • Increase job satisfaction of rank and file officers, supervisors, and commanders. • Maintain a high level of professionalism and ethical conduct by Area personnel. • Effectively manage discretionary overtime.

There were no hiring freezes; the Department aggressively recruited and hired new members throughout the year. FISCAL MANAGEMENT Fiscal management was primarily handled at the Bureau level. Category Budget Encumbrance Expenditure Difference O&M 1,309,612 80.46 23,145.41 1,286,387 Grants 0 0 0 0 Personnel 12,589,099 0 13,369,125 -780,026.20 Overtime 161,376.80 0 1,444,733 -1,283,356

Overtime costs exceeded budgeted appropriations for the following reasons. The overtime budget inherited by Area Two, in January 2008, was left over money from the previous temporal watch based organizational structure. The money was divided and appropriated to the three geographical areas; from the start this was insufficient. Additionally, there was a “culture of overtime” where there was minimal management of overtime. Budgetary cutbacks have mandated stricter accountability in controlling discretionary overtime. Some measures include the elimination of backfill overtime to cover open beats, enhanced supervisory and command monitoring of extension of shift overtime, and closer analysis of crime patterns and trends when utilizing overtime on directed patrols.

The Personnel budget also exceeded appropriations, but only by a small amount. This is explained by how the budget was divided during the reorganization. In addition, there were numerous transfers in and out of Area Two. The physical movement of personnel is different than the budget associated with the transfer. For example, officers who are bilingual and at top step cost more than officers who do not have such premiums.

TRAINING RECEIVED AND/OR PROVIDED Area Two was in compliance with all NSA mandated training. In addition to receiving Department-wide training regarding new policies and procedures, the Area was proactive in providing additional training. Some examples include:

• Reality-based officer involved shooting scenario training using simmunitions • Lineup training involving shoot/don’t shoot scenarios • One-day Watch training comprising of Use of Force, TASER, high-risk felony

SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Area Two engaged in two high profile operations during the first six months of the year. The Fruitvale Public Safety Project was a community-based operation that ran from January through March and successfully reduced robbery and murder at four locations in Area Two. Operation “Smoking Dragon” was a collaborative effort between the Crime Reduction Team (CRT), Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the Federal Bureau of Information (FBI) to break a large-scale ecstasy drug-dealing operation that ran from March into July with an investigation that stretched across the nation. Fruitvale Public Safety Project: Captain Orozco implemented the Fruitvale Safety Project which was designed to address crime at a number of Area Two hot spots while also developing the cooperation, coordination and capacity of city services to form long-lasting crime-fighting partnerships. The project was a three-month focused enforcement operation designed to reduce crime and violence at the following locations.

• 2200-2300 E. 15th St • 1500-1700 Bridge • 1900-2100 Harrington • 38th Avenue & Cesar Chavez Par

The project involved virtually every component of city government:

• PSO-3 & PSO-4 • CRT-3 & CRT-4 • Gang Unit • ABAT • Vice • Beat Officers • SDS-3 & SDS-4 • Graffiti Abatement • Litter Enforcement • Nuisance Abatement • Public Works • Councilmember De La Fuente • Neighborhood Law Corps • Neighborhood Service Coordinators • Neighborhood Crime Prevention Councils

OPD conducted surveillance operations, buy-bust, search warrants, walking stops, vehicle stops and foot patrols and facilitated the work of other city agencies in cleaning and beautifying these neighborhoods. OPD compiled the following stats:

• 111 Felony Arrests • 86 Misdemeanor Arrests • 261 Traffic Citations • 76 Field Contacts • 140 Walking Hours

These efforts resulted in a 31 % reduction in robberies and a decrease of murders from 3 to 1. “Operation Smoking Dragon”: CRT-3 & CRT-4 became major players in a massive nation-wide drug trafficking operation involving Asian street gangs that were distributing marijuana and huge quantities of ecstasy in the Bay Area, Sacramento and Denver. CRT-3 officers became involved when they independently corroborated information from an informant that large quantities of ecstasy were being sold out of the Third Eye Lounge, at 1927 International Blvd. This operation involved a Federal narcotics wiretap investigation that lasted nearly five months, starting at the beginning of March and ending in July with the arrest of more than 50 people associated with Asian gangs in Northern California and Colorado on July 16th, 2008. Twelve people were arrested in Oakland on Federal charges of narcotic and human trafficking. This nation-wide operation began in Denver and took nearly 2.5 years to bring to a conclusion with the assistance of Area Two Crime Reduction Teams. PRODUCTIVITY PERFORMANCE DATA Special Resources: CRT -3 and CRT-4 engaged in standard crime reduction team activities during the first six months of the year before transitioning to Field Training Teams where they primarily engaged in standard field training activities. PSO-3 and PSO-4 spent the first six months of the year engaged in problem-solving activities before taking on additional responsibilities associated with crime reduction team work.

Patrol Projects: The year 2008 marked the first year that patrol officers were required to identify and complete problem solving projects. While we have seen a learning curve with respect to the full utilization of the Scanning/Analysis/Response/Assessment (SARA) problem solving model and appropriate documentation of work, we have seen some encouraging results. Officers are responding to calls and asking the question of whether this particular call is an isolated event requiring a one-time intervention or whether this situation is part of a larger problem that requires a problem solving approach. This transition from handling calls as quickly as possible to trying to identify and solve problems cannot be understated. Further, patrol officers and problem solving officers are seeking each other out to collaborate on issues of mutual concern. Below is a sampling of the kind of projects that are being completed by patrol officers.

Abandoned House @ 2144 Mitchell Street: Officers responded to 2144 Mitchell St., on a drug overdose call and recognized that the overdose was a symptom of a larger problem involving drug activity, graffiti, vandalism and street crime. Officers (self-initiated) returned a couple of days later and arrested two persons for warrants and possession of methamphetamines. Officers requested Public Works to board-up windows and paint over the graffiti. Officers contacted the owner who subsequently sold the house. (Squad project – Sergeant Glock) Chronic Indecent Exposure @ 449 Merritt Ave: Officers received reports of a male loitering near the stairwell at 449 Merritt Ave., and exposing himself to passing females. Neighbors reported that this activity had been occurring sporadically for the past 4 years. Officers identified the suspect, contacted previous victims and had the suspect charged with 314.1 PC with a stay away order. Officers received thanks from many of the apartment residents for effectively handling a chronic and frightening problem. (Officer Rucker & PSO Hewitt) Drug House @ 2658 23rd Ave: Officers received information that drugs were being sold from 2658 23rd Ave. Officers conducted surveillance and developed information to obtain a search warrant. The warrant was served and two people were taken into custody for ex-felon in possession of a firearm, possession of narcotics and parole violations. (Officer Abucay) Day Laborers Loitering @ Kragen’s Auto, 3232 Foothill Blvd: Officers noticed that day laborers were loitering in the parking lots of Kragen’s Auto & Walgreens. Officers partnered with the Volunteers of America Community Labor Service Center (VACLSC) to direct these persons to a place where they could obtain jobs and other related services. Officers passed out literature to prospective day laborers and facilitated their connection with VACLSC. (Officer Clay Burch) Speeding Vehicles & Illegal Turns 4000-4700 Park Blvd: Officers conducted vehicle enforcement using Lidar and wrote 80 tickets in a two week period. Violators who failed to obey signage were cited for the OMC section of 10.16.110 “failure to obey sign” which mitigated the problem and generated additional revenue for the city by utilizing the OMC instead of the California Vehicle Code when appropriate. (Squad project – Sergeant Royal)

538 15 15 13 Internal Affairs Division (IAD) investigations completed by Area personnel did not reveal negative patterns or at-risk behavior. There were 538 reported uses of force (Level One4, 21 Level Two, 34 Level Three, and 483 Level Four); negative patterns or at-risk behavior regarding the use of force was not identified. There were fifteen preventable collisions involving city vehicles. Supervisors and commanders did an exceptional job of monitoring pursuits and determining whether the need to apprehend the violator outweighed public safety. All personnel received training on the new pursuit policy. The Area provided training for several new Departmental and Bureau policies and did not author any; no programs were created by the Area. Several “one-day” audits were conducted to ensure member were in compliance with NSA and Departmental policies (e.g. Stop Data Form, arrest approval). There were a high number of Captain’s Commendations that were distributed due a number of arrests and projects that officers conducted through out the year. Additionally, several Letters of Appreciation were received and recognized during line ups.

PLANS, EXPECTATIONS, AND GOALS With each of the Community Policing Beats filled and with the imminent return of the Field Training Teams to Crime Reduction Teams, more is going to be expected from the Problem Solving Officers (PSOs). PSOs will be expected to (1) develop larger and more sophisticated problem-solving projects and (2) to better coordinate and utilize patrol and other Department resources. Patrol officers will be expected to follow the lead of their respective PSO and to properly and formally document their contributions. Captain Orozco has identified the “lower bottom” section of Area Two extending from Foothill Blvd., to the Estuary and from Lake Merritt to High St., representing beats 19X, 20X and 23X as our primary focus for 2009 because these beats represent our 3 highest violent crime beats and are interconnected. Beat 20X, (which is located between 23rd Ave., and Fruitvale Ave., in between 19X to the west and 23X to the east) has been identified as our “showcase” beat because of the high number of shooting incidents and gang activity. PSO-4 will develop a comprehensive project to address the various issues within this beat and will utilize Patrol and other Department units, as necessary. Our other priorities are to address additional high robbery locations in the area; (1) The Fruitvale corridor from Foothill Blvd., to Mac Arthur Blvd.,, (21Y) (2) the Mac Arthur Blvd., corridor from Fruitvale to High St., (25X), (3) beat 15X (Lake Merritt), and (4)

beat 17X (Highland Hospital). The overall crime reduction goal for Area II is a 10% reduction in Part 1 crime. State of the Unit With the addition of an Administrative Sergeant to organize and track Negotiated Settlement Agreement (NSA) and administrative tasks and requirements, sergeants and lieutenants will be able to spend more time out in Patrol actually supervising the police work being done in the Area. With the Department fully staffed and with a young patrol force, it is imperative that supervisors and commanders be in the field as much as possible to inspect and supervise the work being done. Overall, Geographic Policing was very successful in 2008 for Area Two personnel and at the same time ensuring policy compliance with the Negotiated Settlement Agreement. All Area Two personnel will be challenged in 2009 to reduce crime by 10%, but at the same time ensuring that police work in Area Two is conducted with integrity and ethically. The Area Two community expects and demands officers that operate within the law and are morally sound. Ricardo E. Orozco Captain of Police Patrol Division, Area Two Bureau of Field Operations

Although most authorized positions were filled, loss of personnel due to illness, injury, vacation, mandatory training, administrative leave, and loans to other organizational units hampered effectiveness throughout the year. No hiring freezes or retirements affected the Area. Some personnel were lost to promotions.

Personnel The Personnel budget was a carryover of what was left from the watch system. These costs excluded civilian and sworn overtime. There was insufficient funding and, in some cases, no budget at all to cover regular salary, modified duty, educational expenses, retirement costs, and fringe benefits. Overtime As with the Personnel budget, overtime appropriations were carried over from the watch system. Much of the overage consisted of backfilling of ranks, managing critical incidents, “Sideshow” enforcement, extensions of shift, completing mandatory training, and meeting strict investigative deadlines for misconduct complaints. There was also a

42

Page 43: Oakland Police Department Bureau of Field Operations · The Bureau of Field Operations (BFO) is the largest component of the Oakland Police Department and under the command of Deputy

“culture of overtime” spawned by insufficient measures to control discretionary spending. Overtime excesses were significantly reduced during the last quarter of 2008 after strict guidelines and accountabilities were implemented. For example, canceling overtime related to Major Response Operations, eliminating beat backfilling, restricting CID callouts, attending FTO meetings before or after a normal work shift instead of on one’s day off, and close scrutiny of extensions of shift.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Area personnel provided regular and focused enforcement in high stressor crime areas and target locations identified by crime statistics, community complaints, and personal observation. We are very proud of PST Monique Torres’ receipt of the 2008 Challenger Award. In addition, we accomplished the following:

• Created the Area 3 STAR Performer Award; • Implemented 6 Week Operational Periods to communicate a clear crime-fighting

mission, deliverables, and metrics; • Achievement of nearly 100% NSA training compliance; • Achievement of 100% community meeting compliance; • Implemented Operation Full Court Press over a 31-day period [1 - 31 October] to

mitigate robbery and gun violence in hot spots along International Blvd, MacArthur Blvd, and Seminary Ave through enforcement, inspection, visual presence, and street outreach [Measure Y and NSCs]; and

• Closed down the notorious bungalows in the 5900 block of Bromley Ave. PRODUCTIVITY PERFORMANCE DATA Arrest, citation, vehicle seizure information, and more are illustrated below. In spite of being assigned to busiest part of the City, a great deal of work was proactively performed by staff.

prevention/reporting by local merchants who commented that they were no longer afraid to get involved. OTHER PERFORMANCE DATA Activity Total IAD [DLI] Investigations 137 Level 1 Uses of Force 9 Level 2 Uses of Force 29 Level 3 Uses of Force 131 Level 4 Uses of Force 1,599 Sick/Injury Leave Hours 4,368 Line of Duty Injuries 34 Narcotics Possessory Arrests 1,184 Vehicle Collisions 33 Vehicle Pursuits 18 IAD investigations completed by Area personnel revealed no adverse patterns. Review of uses of force discovered a pattern of repeated, ineffective electronic weapon activations [Taser] and an unwillingness or inability to transition to other viable force options. This observation was shared with both the Training Division and Executive Team. Adverse driving patterns involving inattention and speed for conditions were discovered and addressed through line up and remedial driver’s training. A few vehicle pursuits appeared out of compliance; their Pursuit Boards are pending. When individuals demonstrated at-risk behavior, punitive and non-punitive corrective measures were implemented to discourage problematic behavior and serve as a warning to others.

State of the Unit A strong sense of teamwork and motivation was prevalent within the Area. We worked hard to address crime and disorder by utilizing enforcement tactics, prevention strategies, and treating calls for service as opportunities for problem solving projects. In the summer and fall of 2008, the Area was deeply impacted by the Search Warrant Investigation and the passing of beloved Lt. Derrick Norfleet. I am proud, however, of the overall resiliency demonstrated by personnel under my charge. Equipment inventories such as new vehicles, working radios, and adequate radio batteries improved immensely as compared to 2007.

Productivity Performance Data Please see attached reports for specific details such as number of citations issued, number of arrests and attendance at community meetings. Other Performance Data The Command and Supervisory staff of the SOD met on a regular basis to discuss a variety of issues including conduct. Through close supervisory monitoring, the usage of the IPAS as well as timely feedback, members and employees of this division provided a high level of police service while acting professionally. In 2008, several officers and employees were placed under close supervision as a result of high number of citizen complaints. Along with close supervisory monitoring, two officers were separated as partners in an attempt to lower their complaints. In each case, our members and employees responded well and made adjustments in the way they carry out their duties. All with the exception of one officer were release from close supervisory monitoring at the end of the year. Due to the nature of their jobs, members of the SOS received the most of SOD’s complaints. Please see report by SOS for a thorough breakdown of not only citizen complaints but also use of force incidents. Plans, Expectations, and Goals The members and employees of the Support Operations Section worked hard in 2008 despite the many budget and staffing challenges we faced. Their productivity was some of the highest in the entire department. As we enter into 2009, the budget picture does not look any better. Citizen demands on police accountability and crime reduction

Of the total Use of Force incidents, two were Level 1 (.5%), ten were Level 2 (3%), seventeen were Level 3 (5%) and three hundred sixteen were Level 4 (91%).

Level 1 Use of Force: Two (100%) involved the discharge of a firearm.

Level 2 Use of Force: Eight (80%) involved strike to the head (other than with an impact weapon) one (10%) involved the use of an impact weapon, and one (10%) was result of force used resulting in injury.

Level 3 Use of Force: Eleven (68%) involved “weaponless defense techniques

other than control hold”, five (31%) involved the use of the Taser®.

Level 4 Use of Force: Three hundred eight (96%) involved intentionally pointing a firearm at a person, 5 (2%) involved the use of a control hold, 4 (1%) involved a level three use of force reported as a level four (weaponless defense technique other than a control hold) and one (<1%) involved the use of “weaponless defense techniques applied to vulnerable areas”.

SDU I, II, and NET officers were involved in a majority (323 of the 346) use of force incidents. One two hundred sixty nine involved the intentional pointing of a firearm at an individual. SDU I and NET’s primary function is street level enforcement. SDU II utilizes a combination of street level enforcement and investigation. As a result, SDU I, II, and NET have increased encounters with violent individuals on the street and in residences (parole/probation searches, search warrants etc). In SDU I, .004% (4) of their 978 arrests resulted in an investigated use of force. In SDU II 3% (10) of their 329 arrests resulted in an investigated use of force. In NET 1% (14) of their 738 arrests resulted in an investigated use of force. Overall, 1% (28) of the 2045 total arrests made by SDU I, II, and NET resulted in an investigated Use of Force incident. This low percentage is significant, given the violent nature of targeted offenders and the high volume of contacts, detentions and arrests made by SDU I, II, and NET.

The 88 complaints contained 240 separate allegations of misconduct. The following is a list of the allegations of Manual of Rules violations:

314.03 General Conduct – 1 314.04 Conduct Toward Others Discrimination – 7 314.07 Conduct Toward Others Demeanor - 36 314.39 Performance of Duty – 138 314.42 Obedience to Laws and Regulations – 3 342.00 Department Property and Equipment – 2 370.27 Use of Force – 45 370.45 Reports and Booking – 3 398..73 Retaliation Against Witness - 1 398.76 Refusal to Accept or Refer Complaint-3 314.06 Conduct Towards Others/ Sexual Harassment -1

The top three alleged Manual of Rules violations were Performance of Duty (57%), Use of Force (18%), and Conduct Toward Others (12%). The two sustained complaints were for two preventable vehicle collisions, violation of Manual of Rules 342.00 – Department Property and Equipment. Officers assigned to SDU I, II, and NET received a majority of the complaints. However, these officers engage in street level enforcement and make a high volume of contacts, detention and arrests. In comparison, 2.7% (26) of the 951 Felony arrests made by

67

Page 68: Oakland Police Department Bureau of Field Operations · The Bureau of Field Operations (BFO) is the largest component of the Oakland Police Department and under the command of Deputy

officers in SDU I, 7.8% (25) of the 319 Felony arrests made by officers in SDU II, and 5.9% (31) of the 521 Felony arrests made by officers in NET resulted in a complaint. These percentages would decrease if the number of complaints were also compared to the number of their contacts and detentions. There were no “sustained” and one “not sustained” citizen complaints against personnel assigned to the Special Operations Section. The not sustained related to an allegation of Conduct Toward Others-Demeanor. Plans and Goals

Maintain compliance with NSA training and practice requirements Coordinate with Probation on GPS monitoring.

Purchase new equipment and technology with Gang grants to assist the Gang Unit

in addressing gang activity in Oakland.

Add a gang analyst and juvenile probation officer to the Gang Unit.

Organize the Oakland Police Departments involvement in Homeland Security (collateral duties involving training, working groups, terrorism liaison officers, SUASI, etc.)

Officer Cory Hunt transferred to the unit and is training. Technician Ana Basurto was hired and is in training. Technician Tina Atwater was hired and is in training.

Due to unfilled positions, sickness and injury, staffing was a major challenge in 2008. Often there were only one or two technicians working during a shift. During the year, twenty people were interviewed to fill existing positions. Of those interviewed, only Technicians Atwater and Basurto were hired. Currently, there is one candidate in the background investigation process. Due to attrition (resignation, retirement, and transfers), the Technician Program is projected to lose three to four technicians in the next two years.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS DIVISION, TRAFFIC OPERATIONS SECTION Responsibilities Under the command of Lieutenant Anthony Banks, Sr., the Traffic Operations Section focuses efforts on making Oakland a safe city and models best practices to improve customer service and develop “problem-solving” projects in response to specific traffic safety complaints. Complaints and safety issues originate from:

• Community members • Accident data • Officers’ observations

The Traffic Operations Section is located at the Eastmont Substation and is a part of the Support Operations Division (SOD) under the command of Captain Edward Tracey. Traffic has worked with Area Commanders to focus on directed enforcement and quality of life issues. Our staffing level in sworn and non-sworn positions remains below authorized strength.

Significant Accomplishments In 2008, over 200 community or officer complaints were addressed. Officers also participated in special enforcement projects including Alameda County Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Checks, Seatbelt Enforcement (Click-it or Ticket), Driving Under the Influence (DUI) checkpoints/saturation patrols and pedestrian safety operations. Traffic officers participated in 22 special operations as part of the Department’s Major Response Program intended to address the numerous problems associated with holiday weekends and the “Sideshow.” Traffic officers teamed with patrol officers to focus enforcement on the Port of Oakland in an effort to eliminate illegal racing. Increased enforcement and DUI operations resulted in a significant drop in traffic collisions as well as fatal collisions. There 22 fatal collisions in 2008 as compared to 33 in 2007. This is the lowest the City of Oakland has recorded in fatal collisions in the past 5 years.
