For years, the #Oakland Police Department released weekly crime reports which allowed the public to track trends in violent crime and property crime, and compare the year-to-date stats with recent years. However, since a #ransomware hack in early February, those weekly reports have not been published. (I do not know if the statistics are still being compiled internally.)
This would be unfortunate in any case, but at the current moment, when there is a concerted effort to stoke a crime panic and blame our new Mayor and our new DA for being "pro-perp" or "puppets of anti-police activist Cat Brooks," the lack of statistics means that it is much harder to corroborate or refute perceptions of increased danger and lawlessness. #oakmtg #OPD
