The measurement is percent of OUSD students by race/ethnicity who were suspended at any point in the school year. This is only measuring out-of-school suspensions, not on-campus suspensions or office referrals that did not result in removing a student from school. It includes all students who were enrolled at any point during the school year for any number of days.

This Indicator measures the rate of use of force on subjects per 100,000 people in Oakland by race/ethnicity. Note: There were 10 incidents of use of force that were on a crowd. For these incidents, the number and race/ethnicity of subjects were not available. Therefore, each was counted as one incident in the Citywide total. This will somewhat undercount the true total of people subjected to use of force and will potentially misrepresent the true racial and ethnic breakdown as well.

This Indicator measures the percent of individuals who live in housing units that do not have complete kitchen facilities. Complete kitchen facilities include a stove or range, a refrigerator, and a sink with a faucet.

This Indicator measures the number of service requests received by the Oakland Call Center for illegal dumping as a rate per 1,000 people in each census tract. The census tracts are grouped based on majority race/ethnicity. Service requests that were canceled were excluded from the analysis.

This Indicator measures the rate of discretionary stops per 1,000 people in Oakland by race/ethnicity. “In 2016 through 2017, officers were required to complete stop data forms after every discretionary detention or arrest, and discretionary encounters in which a search or request to search occurred. Discretionary stops and searches exclude detentions and arrests that occurred as the result of a dispatched call for service, a citizen request, or for stops occurring pursuant to search warrants.” (Source: Oakland Police Department’s 2016- 2017 Stop Data Report)

This Indicator measures the likelihood of individuals living in overcrowded housing, which is defined as housing units that have more than 1.5 people per room. Persons-per-room is the most common measure for overcrowding in housing, and 1.5 is a widely accepted threshold above which there are impacts on health and personal safety.

This Indicator measures the attrition rate by race/ethnicity of police officers from the Oakland Police Department’s Field Training Program over the past 3 years (since the start of 2015). This includes the last five OPD academies (172nd-176th) as well as lateral academies and SFPD- managed academies. Officers are released from the program for different reasons ranging from termination, resignation, and/or failing to meet the performance dimensions required by the Field Training Program and the POST approved guidelines.
