This Indicator measures the median response times of calls for service that were routed to patrol. The measurement is broken down between Priority 1 and Priority 2 calls as well as by police area. Priority 1 Calls are defined as those that include potential danger for serious injury to persons, prevention of violent crimes, serious public hazards, felonies in progress with possible suspect on scene. Priority 2 Calls are defined as urgent but not an emergency situation, hazardous / sensitive matters, in-progress misdemeanors and crimes where quick response may facilitate apprehension of suspect(s). There are 5 police areas in Oakland each of which consist of a defined set of police beats and therefore cover a specific geographic part of Oakland. For more information and maps of areas, see here: http://www2.oaklandnet.com/government/o/OPD/o/BFO/index.htm

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 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 attrition rate by race/ethnicity of police officers from the Oakland Police Department’s Academies over the past 3 years (since the start of 2015). This includes the last six OPD academies (172nd-177th) as well as lateral academies and SFPD-managed academies.

This Indicator measures the rate of sworn staff in OPD per 100,000 people of the same race/ethnicity in Oakland, in other words how representative are the sworn staff of the Oakland population? Numbers of sworn staff are as of February 28, 2018.

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.
