The NCPC will send the Zoom link to Rockridge Neighborhood Watch Network and RockridgeNCPC, both on groups.io.  The RCPC will also send it to their mailing list.  If you aren’t on any of these lists and want to attend, please send your email address to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and I’ll forward you the link.

The Oakland Police Community Resource Officers (CROs) will present their usual report on area crime over the last 60 days.  Captain Chris Bolton, Area 2 commander, has agreed to give an overview of OPD’s role as the city opens up from the shutdown, and what OPD anticipates going forward while living with the virus, and to take questions. The group plans to discuss the effect of COVID-19 on crime, public safety, and racial equity in the area. 

We will also have two brief presentations:

  • Anne Janks from the Coalition for Police Accountability will talk about MACRO, a pilot program that has been funded by the city council, to divert OPD calls for service on mental health issues to a community-based program.
  • Sean Maher, Public Information Officer from Oakland Slow Streets, will discuss the Slow Streets program and take questions and comments.

The monthly crime statistics for April 2020, for beats 12Y and 13X, are now available on https://rockridgencpc.com/,  under Resources > Crime Stats and Maps > Rockridge Crime Trends 2019-2020.  Here’s a direct link to the page:

Crime in the pandemic in these beats is definitely down.  April saw a total of 58 reported crimes in both beats, 39 in 12Y, 19 in 13X.  This is the lowest count for both beats since February 2018.

Unfortunately, the only category that’s up is Crimes against the person – robberies and sexual assaults in 12Y (from 8 to 11) and threatening phone calls in 13X (from 0 to 2).  Property crimes dropped a little in 12Y (19 to 17) and more than doubled in 13X (from 4 to 10).  Our eternal bugaboo, Property crimes (auto), dropped from 33 to 6 in 12Y (it was 78 in January!) and from 7 to 4 in 13X (half of January’s value).   Our Community Resource Officer thinks this is because people are not parking to dine any more, they just stop to pick up food.  Quality of life crimes (all vandalism) dropped by half in both beats (10 to 5 in 12Y, 4 to 2 in 13X).  No crimes were reported in the Other category.

We’ve added a new category, Pandemic related crimes – 13X got the only one of these, “REFUSE/ETC TO COMPLY WITH QUARANTINE/DISINFECTION ORDER/ETC.”  We thought we should track this.

If you see, or know about, a crime in your neighborhood, please report it to OPD.  If you don't tell them, they don't know.

The shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic has definitely reduced crime in the area, but not eliminated it.  The only increase in March was property crime in 12Y, up from 16 to 19.  Crimes against the person were flat in 12Y and nonexistent in 13X.  Auto-related property crime in 12Y took the most spectacular dive, from 80 in February to 33 in March.  That’s still slightly more than one a day.  Quality of life crimes in 12Y (mostly vandalism) dropped from 23 in February to 10 in March; in 13X they increased slightly from 3 to 4.
