Beard called the 20% drop in calls for service an “anomaly” and he was still trying to figure out why.

“Some of that is related to work they have done, some of this are things I cannot answer for. I believe some of this is people just not calling for some types of incidents,” stated Beard.

Robberies:

Beard explained the jump in robberies is due to a single person going into the 4 retail centers, stealing property (essentially a petty theft), but then being confronted by an employee and that turn into a physical confrontation.’

“Because that physical confrontation is related to a theft, its classified as a robbery,” stated Beard who also pointed out that was not the case in all 23 robberies, including violent robberies with guns, but wanted to point out why the increase occurred.

Vehicle Thefts

He shared that up until last fall, they were even with previous years but then it increased. He added that it was not just Oakley, but the entire region got hit with more stolen vehicles. In Oakley, as of the presentation the city is at 23 stolen vehicles in 2024.

“Sounds bad, it is. I would like to see none. But there are other local jurisdictions in the hundreds and I feel horrible for what they are going thought but lets keep things in perspective if we can for what we do have going on here in Oakley,” shared Beard.
