Oakland, CA streamlines public reporting of vehicle break-ins with @OaklandAutoBurg pilot
Oakland, CA Vehicle Break-In Public Reporting Pilot
The Oakland Police Department reported a 36% increase in locked vehicle break-ins from 2022 to 2023. An October 2023 weekend pilot asked residents to report suspicious behavior or attempted break-ins to @OaklandAutoBurg on Instagram and X. Police staff monitored the accounts and forwarded relevant information to foot patrols. The @OaklandAutoBurg reporting accounts may be used in the future as complements to deterrence methods like decoys and aerial monitoring.
