The number of reported crimes in beats 12Y and 13X dropped visibly after May of this year. Through May, the numbers for both beats together were 80 or more. In June, the numbers for both beats together dropped to 50 or below. Monthly umbers in 12Y ranged in the high 20s to low 30s; numbers in 13X continued to range under 20 per month and sometimes dropped under 10. This squares with Captain Burke’s account that Area 2 (which includes Rockridge) has the lowest crime rate in the city, and some areas have seen a 77% decrease in the number of burglaries.

The meeting began with a question period with Capt. David Burke and several of his fellow Area 2 senior officers; several beat officers also sat in for the first half. Only Captain Burke stayed for the presentation by Zurvohn Maloof, Inspector General of the Oakland Police Commission, who described how his department will oversee Oakland Police now that the requirement for federal oversight has finally been removed.

I owe you all an apology – after posting the Zoom recording of the June 2026 meeting with Dr. Holly Joshi (Department of Violence Prevention), I forgot to go ahead and post the official minutes. I’m now posting them, along with the minutes of the August 2026 meeting. Both minutes are now available online, on the NCPC web site, on the page at this link:

If you watched the Rockridge NCPC June 11, 2026 Presentation video (https://rockridgencpc.com/documents/minutes/Joshi.mp4), which takes and hour and 8 minutes, you will find very little new in the formal minutes, but you can read them at the link above, and they do represent the official record of the public meeting.
The August meeting included a discussion of crime in the Rockridge area with Captain David Burke and a couple of his patrol officers. The captain is very pleased with the drop in crime in Rockridge over the last year or two, and he credits the Flock cameras (which have been much discussed in the press) with helping OPD find the criminals, and the new District Attorney for being willing to charge and try them. The second half of the meeting was supposed to be a presentation from the MACRO team, but we had a misunderstanding about meeting dates, and at the last minute Mike Ubell put together a brief presentation on MACRO from their web site. This meeting generated a lot of discussion among the 13 citizens who attended.
As the secretary, I’d like to urge all of you who attend our meetings and comment, to remember to speak up clearly and if possible face the recording device. If you don’t speak clearly, I may not be able to record what you said. There are a couple of instances of this in the August meeting.
