When Crime Occurs

Report a crime If you see a crime in progress, call the police!

Only call 911 from a land line!  Cell phone calls to 911 go directly to CHP in Martinez and have to be forwarded.

From a cell phone call 510-777-3211 which routes directly to OPD dispatch. 

To report a crime that has already happened:

Call the non-emergency number 510-777-3333, or fill in OPD's Online Crime Reporting form.  You'll find the link on their Report a Crime page.  We've been warned that the form is easier to fill out on a laptop or desktop than it is on a smartphone.

For MEDICAL OR FIRE EMERGENCIES ONLY, call the Fire Department directly at 510-444-1616.  They respond faster than OPD.

Here are direct links to the reports: 

September 2025 (revised)           https://tinyurl.com/4kcc242p

October 2025          https://tinyurl.com/5dmj6tjx 

As usual, the majority of reported crimes are property crimes, particularly auto-related property crimes.  However, the last month or two we’ve had some reports of things like probation violations, contempt of court, and refusal to obey protective orders.  We put those in class e, “other”, but some of them look pretty threatening.  Beat 12Y is seeing more crimes against the person than we are used to.  And 13X had a report of misdemeanor use of tear gas!  But reported crimes are definitely down from numbers that were reported over the early part of 2025 and late 2024.  Both these reports show fewer than 60 reports between the two beats, while at one time it was running over a hundred between the 2 beats.

We’re happy to announce that the Rockridge NCPC officers have voted to accept Parker Monroe’s kind offer to join our board as Vice Chair.  We feel that his experience on the boards of various local nonprofits, particularly including Safer Rockridge, will help us in our attempt to communicate with our residents about crime and public safety.
