The Bratton Group Report - City of Oakland

Note: For the purposes of CompStat and deployment, Confirmed Shots Fired
incidents will be mapped separately from the other two shooting categories.
Although the CompStat meeting will be biweekly, a weekly CompStat Report
will be prepared by the Crime Analysis Section and copies distributed by 1200
hours on Tuesday of every week.
Crime reports are counted only once, according to the top charge only. For
example, a home invasion armed robbery should be counted once as a robbery,
not once as a robbery and once again as a burglary. Shooting incidents and
shooting victims are not Penal Code crime classifications and should be
additionally counted as either an assault or, if the victim dies, a homicide.
Arrests, like crime reports, will be counted by top charge only. A person
arrested for multiple charges will only be counted as a single arrest based on
the highest charge. For example, a person arrested for both rape and burglary,
occurring during the same incident, will be counted as a rape arrest only.
Lieutenants and Sergeants shall ensure that officers prepare and submit crime
reports prior to the end of their tours and that these reports are reviewed for
accuracy, completeness and correct crime classification by a supervisor.
As an integral component of the CompStat process, District Captains must read
and analyze crime reports daily.CompStat relies upon the “turf-­‐based”
accountability of commanders who take ownership of the crime problems in
their respective areas of responsibility. These commanders then formulate
plans to reduce these crimes and improve the safety, security and quality of life
of the people we serve. CompStat is not just a MEETING. It is a continuing
PROCESS that should take place throughout the intevening two weeks between
each meeting. We will be continously improving the quality of our crime
reporting and intelligence gathering, sharpening our focus as we devise
effective tactics, responding swiftly to conditions in the streets as they develop
and assessing our successes and failures to improve our overall effort against
crime.
Keep up the good work and stay safe.
