The following is an excerpt from a piece by Pat Droney with Law Enforcement Today. They spoke with CJCJ senior researcher Mike Males, PhD on Oakland PD’s 2023 reported crime data.
“The issue apparently lies with how the Oakland PD compiles its data. While the reported data shows Oakland is among the worst-performing departments in solving crimes, the department said the information reported in 2023 is not accurate due to “an anomaly. ”
“The 2023 stats are just, they are just off the charts, there’s no way that these could be correct, yes, it’s the Oakland PD that’s the problem here,” said Males.
According to KGO‑7, Oakland appears to have a data problem.”
