OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- Certain violent crimes in Oakland continue to
rise as the city is nearing a full year without a police chief.

New data analyzed by the ABC7 News I-Team and released in the latest
citywide crime report show robberies are up 38 percent since 2022 but are
down slightly when compared to numbers a decade ago.

up 44 percent. Both crime types stand out to be at the highest rate seen
since 2013.

The last large burglary increase in Oakland was in 2019 with nearly 15,000 reported. In 2023, that figure was over 17,000.

This rise in crime comes as there are renewed calls for the mayor to
declare a state of emergency.

"It's just chaos... and the city just cannot afford the chaos," said
retired Alameda County Judge Brenda Harbin-Forte.

Judge Harbin-Forte says a year without a police chief is unacceptable.

"So you know I have to say that this Mayor has blood on our hands and we
just can't afford to have her in office any longer," she told ABC7.

In September, Mayor Sheng Thao said she would "declare a state of
emergency" if a new police chief isn't selected by the end of the year. Instead, last week she rejected the three recommendations made by the
police commission delaying the process until at least March.
