And he must do so at a time of tight budgets and spiraling crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s walking into a tornado,” said Peter Keane, a Hastings Law School professor who served on the San Francisco Police Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frazier did not respond to a request to comment for this article.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frazier brought big changes to the Baltimore Police Department when he ran it as commissioner from 1994 to 1999, shuffling detectives to patrol positions and even banning the department’s trademark style of nightstick, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eliteespantoons.com/#!history\">espantoon\u003c/a>.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He later served in a federal agency that helped boost community policing efforts around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He brings to the job a familiarity with the Bay Area gained from his steady rise to deputy police chief in San Jose. And he oversaw consent decrees at the Los Angeles and Detroit police departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as a consultant, Frazier \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/story/2012/06/15/97721/opd_city_officials_caught_off_guard_with_findings_in\">criticized\u003c/a> the Oakland Police Department for its harsh tactics in the face of the Occupy Oakland protests of 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Frazier’s background is tailor-made for this job,” said Keane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appointment results from civil rights violations that led to a lawsuit and a consent decree in which the city of Oakland agreed to a series of reforms. U.S. District Court Judge Thelton Henderson lost patience with the city’s progress on these reforms last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To bring the department into compliance, Frazier will have to address a history of tensions that go back at least to its violent clashes with the Black Panther movement of the 1960s and '70s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Civil rights violations came to the surface in the 1990s when a handful of rogue officers, known as the Riders, were accused of planting evidence, beating suspects and falsifying reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such abuses led directly to the 2003 consent decree, but it was “consent” on paper only, at least in the first few years after it was signed, according to John Burris, one of the attorneys behind the lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The culture of the department is fundamentally resistant to change,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the department has struggled with a constantly shuffling leadership, Burris pointed out. It has had three new chiefs since 2005. (Coincidentally, one of them, Anthony Batts, is now Baltimore's police commissioner.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frazier will be paid $270,000 a year. Technically he will serve as compliance director, working on civil rights issues while Chief Howard Jordan focuses on law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think he will see himself as running the department,” said Burris. “I think he will be supporting Jordan.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Frazier will have the \u003ca href=\"#authority\">authority\u003c/a> to fire Jordan, and Keane speculated that Jordan will find himself chief in name only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Frazier's position will be equivalent to a \"czar.\" \"This has never been done in terms of a major American city,\" he said. \"I would suspect that Chief Jordan is not going to be comfortable. I would think someone in Jordan’s position will be looking for greener pastures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To complicate the picture further, Oakland just retained William Bratton, the former New York police commissioner and former Los Angeles police chief, as a consultant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some clues about how Frazier might work on the department come from his past, both as Baltimore police commissioner (a position equivalent to police chief) and as director of the Justice Department's \u003ca href=\"http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS)\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frazier was one of the first, if not the first, Baltimore police commissioner who came to the job from outside the department, said Jeffrey Ian Ross, a criminologist at the University of Baltimore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a recognition that if you want someone to shake things up, you’re going to need someone who is external,” said Ross.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He remembers Frazier instituting efforts to improve relations between the police and the community, such as a 311 non-emergency phone number and police athletic leagues. He also gives Frazier credit for instituting a system for tracking crime statistics, similar to New York’s CompStat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frazier’s approach didn't always sit well with the officers he supervised, according to a 1994 article in the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.baltimoresun.com/keyword/rotation-policy/featured/5\">Baltimore Sun\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The newspaper’s description of the department then sounds a bit like Oakland 2013:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>an agency dogged by brutality complaints, petty corruption, and internal strife fueled by racial friction. The city was reeling from its second-straight record-setting year for homicides.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Frazier ordered raids on drug-ridden neighborhoods, followed by visits from sanitation crews to clean up the mess left behind, the newspaper reported. The city's murder rate dropped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But beat officers criticized him as “TV Tom” for his frequent appearances on television, the paper said. And they grumbled that he didn't support them when they were accused of brutality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He infuriated some detectives by rotating them into patrol shifts, according to reports at the time. Frazier defended the practice as a way of giving more officers opportunity for advancement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another story, the Sun recounted\u003ca href=\"http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1997-05-02/news/1997122044_1_frazier-colonel-daniel-black-officers\"> allegations \u003c/a>that Frazier favored white officers over black ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At COPS, Frazier encouraged other police departments to institute \u003ca href=\"http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/Default.asp?Item=36\">community policing\u003c/a>, a set of techniques aimed at making police departments more accountable, systematic and cooperative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t underestimate the kind of experience you get there,” said Ross. “The guy has a big picture kind of vision, unlike a lot of police chiefs and commissioners who have tunnel vision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"authority\">\u003cstrong>Here is the agreement spelling out Frazier's authority over the Oakland Police Department:\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca title=\"View Agreement Between Oakland and Civil Rights Plaintiffs on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/128911762/Agreement-Between-Oakland-and-Civil-Rights-Plaintiffs\">Agreement Between Oakland and Civil Rights Plaintiffs\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.scribd.com/embeds/128911762/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":null,"status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1398475101,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":38,"wordCount":1054},"headData":{"title":"New Overseer Could Disrupt Oakland Police Routines | KQED","description":"Oakland police officers can expect to see change in their department.

Bratton was in Detroit, where he is also currently consulting. Edited transcript...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: Last night's council meeting was emotionally charged and a lot of the anger had to do with the mistrust that many Oakland residents feel when it comes to law enforcement. How does the police department begin to change that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>William Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well, one of the issues we had to deal with in Los Angeles when I was appointed chief in 2002 was a pretty deteriorating relationship between the department and the city’s African-American community. Actually it was described as open warfare.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>You have to ensure that it’s being done compassionately and always remember you are dealing with human beings\u003c/strong>.\"\n\u003cp>--William Bratton on stop-and-frisk\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When I left seven years later, all of the policies, procedures and changes that had been put in place resulted in not only crime declines every year, but polling indicated more than two-thirds of the city’s African American community and its growing Latino population thought the department was doing a good to very good job. I understand those numbers have actually increased since I left several years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the situation in Oakland, which is well-known, is about the distrust of a large part of the population and the feeling of many members of the police department that they are not respected or trusted. That was successfully addressed in Los Angeles and I see no reason why the leadership in Oakland, the mayor, the city manager, the council and the police chief would not be able to address it by reducing crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The stop-and-frisk policies that you’ve promoted in the past are of course controversial. And some Oakland residents are saying this tactic invites racial profiling. What do you say to them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: The issue of stop-and-frisk is certainly of great concern in Oakland and I’m not familiar enough with the city at this stage to really comment on your specific issue. I’m certainly aware of it in New York, where it has been a very contentious the last year or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stop-and-frisk is an area where the police have to be very, very careful to ensure that they’re in compliance with the constitutional guidelines that authorize it, in \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0392_0001_ZS.html\" target=\"_blank\">Terry v. Ohio. \u003c/a>And in dealing with the use of stop-and-frisk it is very important to address it in much the same way as the racial profiling issues of the 90s had to be addressed by police. Stop-and- frisk is the racial profiling issue, if you will, of the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have to ensure you are always using that tool constitutionally, meaning you have to comply with the very stringent guidelines. That can be done through training and supervision. You have to ensure that it’s being done compassionately and always remember you are dealing with human beings. And you want to ensure that it’s done consistently, that you don’t apply it separately in a poor neighborhood and a rich neighborhood, you don’t interact with blacks differently than you do with whites or Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issues in Oakland -- I’ve not been there, I will soon be there. But stop-and-frisk is I think an issue that can be addressed in a way in which both sides are mollified. The police need it as a tool. The community just wants to ensure that the tool is not used in an inappropriate way.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>You can gripe and groan as much as you want; it is a fact of life\u003c/strong>.\"\n\u003cp>--Bratton on the consent decree OPD must comply with \u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Violent crime is getting the most attention in Oakland right now but many other types of offenses have spiked too. For example, auto burglaries have nearly doubled last year. Is there a quick way for the city to get a handle on that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: We’re being asked to do two things: look at the crime problem and develop crime strategies with the Oakland police department based on the priorities they feel need to be addressed. So if the issue of car burglaries is one of those then we’ll certainly be willing to add expertise to that of the Oakland PD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second area that we’re being asked to concentrate on is the enhancement of the CompStat process. This is a system I created in New York in the 90s, the management data accountability system, in which you use crime stats to identify very quickly where you need to put your cops. You use it as an accountability tool to ensure that your leaders and your managers know what’s going on in their respective areas and are dealing with them effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if not -- why not? It’s a system that has been used extraordinarily effectively in New York and Los Angeles. New York is now into its twentieth year of crime decline, with about an 80 percent decline. And LA is into its tenth year, with a 55-60 percent decline. We’re hopeful that the system can be applied in a very similar, successful way in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Right now Oakland’s police force has about 25 percent fewer officers than it did a couple of years ago. How big a factor do you think that reduction might be playing in the crime problem?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well, there’s no denying that a loss of 25 percent of your force is going to have an impact. Whether it’s in visibility, response to calls, or in the ability to have specialized units that can focus on specialized crime problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the reality is you have what you have and to try and use them to the best effect possible. That’s where prioritization and focus come into play. The importance of the CompStat system is it really gives you a sense of where you're getting the biggest bang for the buck with the personnel you do have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, some of my colleagues did a study there in 2006, some of which has just recently been implemented by Chief Jordan: the geographic distribution system with five police precincts. Part of our challenge will be coming in to very quickly get a sense of what the current circumstances are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Oakland police are making far fewer stops and arrests than they did a few years ago. Some officers say that that’s because of all the paperwork and recordkeeping required and because every stop they make is under careful scrutiny by a federal court.

Edited transcript...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: Last night's council meeting was emotionally charged and a lot of the anger had to do with the mistrust that many Oakland residents feel when it comes to law enforcement. How does the police department begin to change that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>William Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well, one of the issues we had to deal with in Los Angeles when I was appointed chief in 2002 was a pretty deteriorating relationship between the department and the city’s African-American community. Actually it was described as open warfare.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>You have to ensure that it’s being done compassionately and always remember you are dealing with human beings\u003c/strong>.\"\n\u003cp>--William Bratton on stop-and-frisk\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When I left seven years later, all of the policies, procedures and changes that had been put in place resulted in not only crime declines every year, but polling indicated more than two-thirds of the city’s African American community and its growing Latino population thought the department was doing a good to very good job. I understand those numbers have actually increased since I left several years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the situation in Oakland, which is well-known, is about the distrust of a large part of the population and the feeling of many members of the police department that they are not respected or trusted. That was successfully addressed in Los Angeles and I see no reason why the leadership in Oakland, the mayor, the city manager, the council and the police chief would not be able to address it by reducing crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The stop-and-frisk policies that you’ve promoted in the past are of course controversial. And some Oakland residents are saying this tactic invites racial profiling. What do you say to them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: The issue of stop-and-frisk is certainly of great concern in Oakland and I’m not familiar enough with the city at this stage to really comment on your specific issue. I’m certainly aware of it in New York, where it has been a very contentious the last year or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stop-and-frisk is an area where the police have to be very, very careful to ensure that they’re in compliance with the constitutional guidelines that authorize it, in \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0392_0001_ZS.html\" target=\"_blank\">Terry v. Ohio. \u003c/a>And in dealing with the use of stop-and-frisk it is very important to address it in much the same way as the racial profiling issues of the 90s had to be addressed by police. Stop-and- frisk is the racial profiling issue, if you will, of the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have to ensure you are always using that tool constitutionally, meaning you have to comply with the very stringent guidelines. That can be done through training and supervision. You have to ensure that it’s being done compassionately and always remember you are dealing with human beings. And you want to ensure that it’s done consistently, that you don’t apply it separately in a poor neighborhood and a rich neighborhood, you don’t interact with blacks differently than you do with whites or Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issues in Oakland -- I’ve not been there, I will soon be there. But stop-and-frisk is I think an issue that can be addressed in a way in which both sides are mollified. The police need it as a tool. The community just wants to ensure that the tool is not used in an inappropriate way.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>You can gripe and groan as much as you want; it is a fact of life\u003c/strong>.\"\n\u003cp>--Bratton on the consent decree OPD must comply with \u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Violent crime is getting the most attention in Oakland right now but many other types of offenses have spiked too. For example, auto burglaries have nearly doubled last year. Is there a quick way for the city to get a handle on that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: We’re being asked to do two things: look at the crime problem and develop crime strategies with the Oakland police department based on the priorities they feel need to be addressed. So if the issue of car burglaries is one of those then we’ll certainly be willing to add expertise to that of the Oakland PD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second area that we’re being asked to concentrate on is the enhancement of the CompStat process. This is a system I created in New York in the 90s, the management data accountability system, in which you use crime stats to identify very quickly where you need to put your cops. You use it as an accountability tool to ensure that your leaders and your managers know what’s going on in their respective areas and are dealing with them effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if not -- why not? It’s a system that has been used extraordinarily effectively in New York and Los Angeles. New York is now into its twentieth year of crime decline, with about an 80 percent decline. And LA is into its tenth year, with a 55-60 percent decline. We’re hopeful that the system can be applied in a very similar, successful way in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Right now Oakland’s police force has about 25 percent fewer officers than it did a couple of years ago. How big a factor do you think that reduction might be playing in the crime problem?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well, there’s no denying that a loss of 25 percent of your force is going to have an impact. Whether it’s in visibility, response to calls, or in the ability to have specialized units that can focus on specialized crime problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the reality is you have what you have and to try and use them to the best effect possible. That’s where prioritization and focus come into play. The importance of the CompStat system is it really gives you a sense of where you're getting the biggest bang for the buck with the personnel you do have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, some of my colleagues did a study there in 2006, some of which has just recently been implemented by Chief Jordan: the geographic distribution system with five police precincts. Part of our challenge will be coming in to very quickly get a sense of what the current circumstances are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Oakland police are making far fewer stops and arrests than they did a few years ago. Some officers say that that’s because of all the paperwork and recordkeeping required and because every stop they make is under careful scrutiny by a federal court. Is that concern legitimate?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well it’s exactly the same concern that was voiced in 2002, when I went to the LAPD. And we got the federal consent decree implemented and we got crime down by about 60 percent. We got the cops out of their cars and motivated once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So hopefully working with Chief Jordan gives me the opportunity to provide some thoughts about experiences elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is what it is.

To find a way to help us reduce violent crime in Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan also said the department will return to a neighborhood policing model. Jordan acknowledged that neighborhood policing has been tried before in Oakland and failed, but he said that was due to a lack of resources. This time, five police districts will be created, starting with two in East Oakland, and each will have a captain in charge of that area. Implementation will begin sometime in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By returning to neighborhood policing,\" Jordan said, \"we strengthen our relations with the community, we build trust, and we hold the captains and his command officers responsible for knowing about crime, addressing crime and dealing with them in a very, very timely manner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan said there will be more changes announced next week.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Bratton is a high-profile proponent of the \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=broken+windows+theor\" target=\"_blank\">broken windows\u003c/a>\" theory of crime fighting, first proposed by two academics in \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1982/03/broken-windows/304465/#\" target=\"_blank\">this 1982 Atlantic Monthly article\u003c/a>. The basis of that theory, which Bratton applied in New York City and Los Angeles, is that relatively small violations like vandalism can lead to more serious crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From that article:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We suggest that \"untended\" behavior also leads to the breakdown of community controls. A stable neighborhood of families who care for their homes, mind each other's children, and confidently frown on unwanted intruders can change, in a few years or even a few months, to an inhospitable and frightening jungle. A piece of property is abandoned, weeds grow up, a window is smashed. Adults stop scolding rowdy children; the children, emboldened, become more rowdy. Families move out, unattached adults move in. Teenagers gather in front of the corner store. The merchant asks them to move; they refuse. Fights occur. Litter accumulates. People start drinking in front of the grocery; in time, an inebriate slumps to the sidewalk and is allowed to sleep it off. Pedestrians are approached by panhandlers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point it is not inevitable that serious crime will flourish or violent attacks on strangers will occur. But many residents will think that crime, especially violent crime, is on the rise, and they will modify their behavior accordingly. They will use the streets less often, and when on the streets will stay apart from their fellows, moving with averted eyes, silent lips, and hurried steps. \"Don't get involved.\" For some residents, this growing atomization will matter little, because the neighborhood is not their \"home\" but \"the place where they live.\" Their interests are elsewhere; they are cosmopolitans. But it will matter greatly to other people, whose lives derive meaning and satisfaction from local attachments rather than worldly involvement; for them, the neighborhood will cease to exist except for a few reliable friends whom they arrange to meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such an area is vulnerable to criminal invasion. Though it is not inevitable, it is more likely that here, rather than in places where people are confident they can regulate public behavior by informal controls, drugs will change hands, prostitutes will solicit, and cars will be stripped. That the drunks will be robbed by boys who do it as a lark, and the prostitutes' customers will be robbed by men who do it purposefully and perhaps violently. That muggings will occur. \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1982/03/broken-windows/304465/#\">Full article here\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, appropriately enough, the Tribune \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/breaking-news/ci_22264259/block-businesses-struck-by-vandals-east-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">reported\u003c/a> that vandals had broken the windows of an entire block of businesses in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update Friday\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/William-Bratton-Has-No-Fantasies-About-Oakland-185092781.html\" target=\"_blank\">NBC Bay Area spoke to Bratton by phone\u003c/a>.

In Los Angeles, he focused on community policing and worked to resolve tensions between officers and minority communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bratton is currently a senior advisor of Kroll, an international consulting company.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/breaking-news/ci_22268901/oakland-brings-william-j-bratton-help-fight-crime\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Tribune\u003c/a> writes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>During his seven years in Los Angeles, Bratton oversaw a 45 percent drop in major crimes and a 41 percent drop in homicides. Crime in that city continued to drop after his departure in 2009. His tenure in New York City from 1994-96 also coincided with double-digit crime drops...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Bratton] is teaming up with police consultant Robert Wasserman, who already had a $100,000 contract to access the department and review violence and crime prevention strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Mayor Jean] Quan will be asking the City Council next month to approve an additional $250,000 to Wasserman's firm, Strategic Policy Partnership, LLC, for both short-term and long-term crime reduction studies undertaken by Bratton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The funds would not come out of the police department budget, and the contract would not have a specific end date, officials said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Andrew Stelzer, our reporter at the OPD press conference on Thursday, said that Chief Howard Jordan maintained there will be little interaction between Bratton and the new court-approved overseer, who has yet to be hired. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/06/oaklands-agreement-on-police-dept-receivership-by-any-other-name/\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland agreed to make that hire earlier this month as part of a deal to avoid federal receivership\u003c/a>.

To find a way to help us reduce violent crime in Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan also said the department will return to a neighborhood policing model. Jordan acknowledged that neighborhood policing has been tried before in Oakland and failed, but he said that was due to a lack of resources. This time, five police districts will be created, starting with two in East Oakland, and each will have a captain in charge of that area. Implementation will begin sometime in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By returning to neighborhood policing,\" Jordan said, \"we strengthen our relations with the community, we build trust, and we hold the captains and his command officers responsible for knowing about crime, addressing crime and dealing with them in a very, very timely manner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jordan said there will be more changes announced next week.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Bratton is a high-profile proponent of the \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=broken+windows+theor\" target=\"_blank\">broken windows\u003c/a>\" theory of crime fighting, first proposed by two academics in \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1982/03/broken-windows/304465/#\" target=\"_blank\">this 1982 Atlantic Monthly article\u003c/a>. The basis of that theory, which Bratton applied in New York City and Los Angeles, is that relatively small violations like vandalism can lead to more serious crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From that article:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>We suggest that \"untended\" behavior also leads to the breakdown of community controls. A stable neighborhood of families who care for their homes, mind each other's children, and confidently frown on unwanted intruders can change, in a few years or even a few months, to an inhospitable and frightening jungle. A piece of property is abandoned, weeds grow up, a window is smashed. Adults stop scolding rowdy children; the children, emboldened, become more rowdy. Families move out, unattached adults move in. Teenagers gather in front of the corner store. The merchant asks them to move; they refuse. Fights occur. Litter accumulates. People start drinking in front of the grocery; in time, an inebriate slumps to the sidewalk and is allowed to sleep it off. Pedestrians are approached by panhandlers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point it is not inevitable that serious crime will flourish or violent attacks on strangers will occur. But many residents will think that crime, especially violent crime, is on the rise, and they will modify their behavior accordingly. They will use the streets less often, and when on the streets will stay apart from their fellows, moving with averted eyes, silent lips, and hurried steps. \"Don't get involved.\" For some residents, this growing atomization will matter little, because the neighborhood is not their \"home\" but \"the place where they live.\" Their interests are elsewhere; they are cosmopolitans. But it will matter greatly to other people, whose lives derive meaning and satisfaction from local attachments rather than worldly involvement; for them, the neighborhood will cease to exist except for a few reliable friends whom they arrange to meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such an area is vulnerable to criminal invasion. Though it is not inevitable, it is more likely that here, rather than in places where people are confident they can regulate public behavior by informal controls, drugs will change hands, prostitutes will solicit, and cars will be stripped. That the drunks will be robbed by boys who do it as a lark, and the prostitutes' customers will be robbed by men who do it purposefully and perhaps violently. That muggings will occur. \u003ca href=\"http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1982/03/broken-windows/304465/#\">Full article here\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, appropriately enough, the Tribune \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/breaking-news/ci_22264259/block-businesses-struck-by-vandals-east-oakland\" target=\"_blank\">reported\u003c/a> that vandals had broken the windows of an entire block of businesses in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update Friday\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/William-Bratton-Has-No-Fantasies-About-Oakland-185092781.html\" target=\"_blank\">NBC Bay Area spoke to Bratton by phone\u003c/a>.
