Subject:
Police Recruitment
From:
Councilmember Brooks and Councilmember Kernighan
Recommendation: Schedule The Following Reports To The Public Safety
Committee And The City Council:
1) Because Patrol Is the first line of defense for the public, the Council wants to
ensure that this unit is fully staffed at all times. To that end staff is directed to
prepare a plan that ensures Patrol is fully staffed at all limes (this means no open
beats on any shift). This plan shall be presented at the March 11th Public Safety
Committee and at the March 18,2008, City Council meeting. The Oakland Police
Department shall publish a weekly report indicating staffing levels in patrol. Staff is

Spotter is placed in all Sergeants' vehicles no later than March 18, 2008;
From Councilmember Reid:
Not only should a work schedule be developed to address current equipment needs, but
an
assessment of future equipment needs must be conducted to ensure that new hires have the
necessary tools to perform their duties. Both items should be addressed by the Public Safety
Committee at the March 11, 2008 meeting

5) The vast majority of the homicides committed in the City of Oakland are committed with hand
guns. We need to find ways to reduce the number of guns on the streets of Oakland. To that end,
staff is directed to contact the Boston Police Department to solicit information about their Consent
to Search Program. Staff should also review the attached Department of Justice Evaluation of the
predecessor Consent to Search Program information implemented by the St. Louis Police
Department. Staff is directed to develop for review a similar program to be conducted by the
Oakland Police Department. Said plan shall be presented at the March 11, 2008, Public Safety
Committee meeting; And
