At the end of 2023, Oakland crime data paints complex picture
- The latest crime statistics released by the Oakland Police showed data collected from January 1st to December 24th of 2023:
- Robbery was up by 37%, burglary was up by 24%, motor vehicle theft was up 45% (motor vehicle theft was an all-time record high for Oakland), homicide rates stayed the same as last year with 118 murders, with no discretion between accidental or justified homicides in the number.
- Police added that locations that were traditionally pretty safe like Temescal and Rockridge are dealing with a lot more robberies and burglaries, and that violent crime is no longer just confined to West and East Oakland.

- Judge Donna Ryu denied The City's motion for clarification on the definition of "involuntarily homeless".
- David Chiu, the City Attorney, requested clarification because the city is prevented from clearing encampments even if a homeless person refuses shelter.
