NEW: Today we are publishing an analysis of 442,812 calls to the Oakland Police Department in 2019. The analysis found only 4% of calls to police are for violent crime, and that 1% of police calls take up 57% of police time (based on their own record keeping).

Let's dig in. 🤓
The data is published in a report we submitted responding to the final recommendations issued by Oakland’s Reimagining Public Safety Task Force. The Task Force was set up because we've called to #DefundOPD for 5 years & YOU took to the streets last summer.

Last summer the NYT asked: "How do police actually spend their time?"

We realized in Oakland we didn't know how the Police, who cost us half our city budget(!), actually spend their time.
