Crime Stats January 2023 (revised): https://tinyurl.com/mtc83dhh
I've been compiling and producing crime statistics from the city of Oakland's data feed for over 10 years. But the revised January 2023 report I just published may be the last, unless Oakland's IT department passes a miracle. You may have read of the ransomware attack on Oakland's data systems on February 8. When I pulled the 90-day list of reported crimes in Oakland from the city data feed on March 3, there was nothing in it after February 7, for any beat anywhere in the city. And I don't know when there will ever be more in it.
The sad thing is that the January revision indicated that the data delays we've seen since mid-2021 seem to be improving - between the 2 beats, 12Y and 13X, the revised report only had 9 crime reports that weren't in the original January report pulled on February 5, and the general pattern was very similar to what we've seen - a few crimes against the person, but mostly property crimes, the vast majority auto-related.
I tried to produce a report for February 2023 but there was nothing to work with. There were no reports for beat 13X at all, and only 16 reports for beat 12Y, with nothing after February 6. The general pattern of the 16 reports matched usual activity, as I said about the revised January report. But as far as I can tell now, the data is Gone. I will keep trying, but I have very little hope.

The February 2023 minutes of the Greater Rockridge Neighborhood Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) are now available online. They are available on the NCPC web site, on the page at this link:
You can also open the document directly at this link:
This was our first hybrid meeting, with 2 residents and 3 NCPC officers present in person, and about 5 people attending on Zoom, including 2 officers from OPD. We used a Meeting Owl 3, loaned by Neighborhood Services, for the meeting. The meeting lasted about 40 minutes and had some very energetic discussions (both in the room and on Zoom) of a perceived lack of support from OPD in north Oakland.

The January report is surprisingly high, with 83 reports – 73 in beat 12Y and 10 in beat 13X. That’s within the normal range for 12Y, but below the usual minimum (looking at all of 2022) for 13X. I don’t know if the reporting delay is still happening or not. As usual, the largest number of crimes reported are auto-related property crimes, in both beats. Also as usual, the second largest number in both beats is non-auto property crimes (burglaries and thefts). The rest of the reports were crimes against the person and quality of life crimes, in both cases fewer than 10 for the month. January had 2 sets of incidents with multiple charges, one pairing battery with theft, the other 2 charges of auto theft.
The first December crime report showed 64 crime reports – 49 in beat 12Y and 15 in 13X. The revised December report, built on 2/5/23, reported 96 crimes for the 2 beats – 73 in 12Y and 23 in 13X. December still had the 10 reports of crimes against the person, which is on the high side. The highest number of reports in both beats was for auto-related property crimes, followed by regular property crimes. Vandalism (quality of life) was much lower in December than earlier in the year, especially in 12Y.
The one incident with multiple charges in the first December report rose to 4 incidents with multiple charges in the revised report. This was me, rethinking it – 3 sets of multiple charges were all in crimes against the person, and before I was only listing them as multiple if some charges were in different categories. But since they were all in pairs at the same times and the same locations (and the same case numbers, which I checked but didn’t show), I decided I should include them.
