OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- In 2023, Oakland PD reported to the California Department of Justice that only 3 percent of their violent crimes resulted in an arrest in 2023. When it came to property crimes, the number was 0.1 percent.
"Their clearance rate was abysmal, now it's practically nothing, they are just not solving crimes," said Mike Males with the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice.
But that data isn't accurate.
I have a friend that worked for Oakland PD. He's in his mid-seventies and retired now but he has some stories to tell both from when he was a street officer and when he worked under cover narcotics. Apparently, they used to actually arrest and prosecute criminals there.
