On 26 Jun 10, an at-risk 10 year old diagnosed with a bipolar disorder was reported missing. The youth had not been taking his medication, which compounded his disorder. Missing Persons Investigators were called to the scene by Patrol. They met with the youth’s family and disseminated a Critical Reach flyer to various law enforcement agencies. After a lengthy search, the youth was found riding his bicycle and reunited with family members.

On 2 Dec 10, an at-risk 12 year old diabetic was reported missing. Patrol initiated a Missing Persons call out. Investigators searched the youth’s residence, met with her friends and family, and determined she had taken a bus to San Leandro. After an extensive search yielded negative results, the youth returned home the next day alleging she was kidnapped. Subsequent to an interview concerning the kidnapping, the youth admitted she ran away with her adult boyfriend. The child was reunited with the father’s family in Oakland.

On 28 Jun 10, a Missing Persons Investigator was assigned a Child Abduction case where one parent physically assaulted the other before abducting their three children.

Adopt-a-Family Program – PAL celebrated 20 years of partnering with local organizations to provide needy families with assistance during the Christmas season. PAL partnered with 5 organizations to make provisions for 15-20 families. Each selected family received toys children, food, and other critical items.

Annual Christmas Dinner – PAL celebrated its 21st year of sponsoring this dinner and served to over 500 guests from the community. The dinner was a joyous time where representatives from the police department and other local agencies served dinner to families. Guests this year included Chief Anthony Batts, Assistant Chief Howard Jordan, Deputy Chief Jeffrey Israel, Merritt College President Dr. Robert Adams, and members of the City Council. The diner was funded by donations and a small grant from a local company.

Building Strong Minds Mentorship – PAL received a grant from the National PAL Mentoring Program. With the grant funds, PAL hired a Mentorship Coordinator who recruited police personnel as well as children to participate in the program. Thirty youth registered in 2010. This program provided services to youth regardless of age, sex, race, or socioeconomic status.

California PAL - PAL officers attended Spring and Fall California Training PAL Conferences. The PAL Executive Director continued to serve on the California PAL Board of Directors and traveled to Board meetings in San Leandro and Oxnard. PAL officers ensured issues being addressed by the California and National PAL were relevant to the youth of Oakland.

Camping – During the months of June, July, and August PAL ran its overnight camp at our campground in the Oakland Hills. Various youth-serving organizations brought groups of up to 50 youth to enjoy the camp. The groups benefiting were the Asian Youth Advisory Council, Bushrod Recreation Center, Oakland Police Explorers, Manzanita Recreation Center, Willie Keyes Recreation Center, Girl Scouts of Northern California, and the Youth Sciences Academy. PAL provided food and accommodations at no cost to the youth groups. PAL is in talks with the Chabot Space and Science Center to expand the PAL Camp into a full-service Retreat Center.

Census Bureau Classes – PAL served as a testing site for the Census Bureau. Each Friday between January and March, employment tests were held at 11 am and 1 pm. The PAL Center was selected because it was a safe place located in the community. Over 150 people were tested. PAL was recognized as a 2010 Census Proud Partner.

Girls Empowerment – PAL formed a partnership with the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority of the Berkeley Bay Area Alumnae Chapter to offer the Delta GEMS Institute service to at-risk young ladies from the community. On Saturdays once a month, the girls met at the Eastmont Substation to participate in empowerment activities and community service projects. One of the service projects was wrapping the gifts for the PAL Adopt-a-Family program. They also participated in a Rebuilding Together Oakland project.

GREAT – The Gang Resistance Education and Training Program is administered through PAL. This program focuses on students in middle and elementary school year around.

Midnight Basketball League – Oakland PAL sponsored the Oakland Midnight Basketball League [MBL]. This program, a collaborative effort between OPD, PAL, and Oakland Parks and Recreation gave youth 15 to 25 years old an opportunity to participate in a safe and healthy sport as opposed to hanging out on the street. Basketball games took place on Friday nights. Each player was required to attend the life skills workshop before playing basketball. Only the spring session was offered this year. Over 100 participants and 50 spectators attended each game.

10 Track and Field – For the past 25 ears, PAL has been known for its Track and Field program. Our program has saved countless youth from crime and matriculated several youth to college on track scholarships. The team participated in numerous meets locally, regionally, as well as nationally. On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, as is the tradition, PAL held its track season registration. Over 100 youth showed up to register.

Chrome & Cops 4 Kids – On Sunday, 23 May 10, PAL hosted a fundraiser at the Bob Dron Harley Davidson Store in Oakland. Over 150 cars, motorcycles, and law enforcement vehicles from all over California registered and participated in this event. Over $5,000.00 was raised for PAL programs and PAL is looking to make this an annual event.

Explorers – The Oakland Police Explorers Post is run through the PAL program. This year, PAL expanded the Explorer program so that more youth can benefit from the experience. The Post now includes the following groups: Jr. Explorers – Youth ages 11 to 13; Explorers - Youth ages 14 to 20; and Sr. Explorers – Youth ages 21 to 25 who and are enrolled in Merritt College Administration of Justice Program.

This operation, the third one of this magnitude in as many years, was modeled after the OPD/FBI’s 2007 “Operation Strike Out” which consisted of

17 several local Bay Area law enforcement agencies. The operation resulted in 33 arrests in the City of Oakland.

Domestic Violence DVU and the Family Justice Law Center collaborated on a presentation to Chief Batts and the Senior Command Staff on 26 Apr 10. Officer Randy White, DDA Kim Hunter, Cherrie Allison, and Erin Scott did an excellent job.

Operation Warrant Splash 290 sweeps with the SAFE Task Force resulted in 44 compliance checks and 1 arrest.

U Nonimmigrant Status Certification (U-Visa) In 2007, the YFSD-ISS began to participate with the Department of Homeland Security on the issuances of visas for victims of certain crimes in which the applicant had suffered mental or physical abuse. Further the applicant must have cooperated and/or pledge to cooperate with law enforcement on the successful prosecution of the case. It is the role of OPD, and specifically the YFSD-ISS Section Commander [BOI PP 08-01,] to review all U-Visa applications, determine if they satisfy the legal requirements, and endorse or deny them as part of the application process.

Below is a table which illustrates the number of these U-Visa applications the section has processed since 2007:

Year No. Applications Received Approved Rejected 2007 3 2 1 2008 79 76 3 2009 153 147 6 2010 215 199 16

Grant Applications and Awards We were not awarded the Adam Walsh Act [SMART] grant or the U.S. DOJ – COPS Child Sexual Predator Program Grant.

SECTION VIII: PLANS AND GOALS

State of the YFSD

Personnel continue to seek advanced training to increase their overall knowledge and effectiveness. There was a strong sense of team and the majority of staff adhered to the law, policy, and ethics managerial framework. Staffing was reduced significantly to fill vacancies in Patrol. In spite of an increasing investigative workload, staff remained motivated and productive.

Expectations and Goals PAL and the OK Program showed a great deal of promise and will likely be an important element of YFSD for years to come. We endeavor to touch the lives of more at risk youth in 2011.

YFSD will maintain high quality investigations and provided meaningful services to Oakland families. Discovering more efficient ways to perform our jobs is an essential task for the coming year.
