Kpix 5 reporter Ann Notarangelo on what it would cost and where the money would come from. Reporter since patrolling the streets of oakland, the Police Department says in some cases Violent Crime is down and they dont want to mess with the momentum. Reporter november 1st, the chp joined additional local and federal Law Enforcement personnel to stop the escalating Violent Crime on oakland streets. They focused on the most dangerous crimes, homicides, shootings and robberies. Sometimes they were in east oakland, sometimes in west oakland in high crime zones. And then the officers would stop and contact individuals who were engaged either in criminal activity or what appeared to be criminal activity. Reporter the chp initially paid for the extra patrols about 300,000 to 325,000 in overtime pay for three months but in january let the city know it couldnt continue. With our budget we have Budget Constraints that we have to operate within, and so thats what were trying to do, be fiscally responsible with our designated budget. Reporter but the city wants them to stay so the Oakland City Council is considering spending 162,000 to continue the contract for another 60 days. Anytime you can bring additional Law Enforcement resources to reduce crime, thats priceless. Reporter what can the city expect to get for that kind of money . In the past few months, the chp has made more than 2100 enforcement stops, issued nearly 1800 citations and arrested 288 people resulting in 349 charging incidents. 13 firearms have been recovered. More than 700 cars have been impounded. And 83 stolen vehicles were recovered. The numbers are very impressive. They have definitely made an i an impact in reducing crime with us. Reporter as of today there have been 12 homicides this year. Last year at this time there were 17. They have also seen a reduction in shootings in the past several weeks.

Reporter in march there will be a temporary spike in the number of officers as some 45 new recruits from the Police Academy will join the patrols. We will still continue to see chp working alongside of us. So were going to have those additional bodies and that additional enforcement out there and its going to be good for everybody. Reporter the city council will vote tonight whether or not to extend the contract with the chp. If they decide to go ahead with it, some of the money could come from grants or the city may pick up the tab. Ann, its not like there are other Law Enforcement agencies that could pay to pick up their own tab like the sheriffs department. They would have to pay them, too, wouldnt they . Reporter you know, im not clear on who is footing the bill for everybody. In this case the chp was okay with splitting the bill for 90 days and then said it was too much. I dont know whats happening with the sheriffs department. But we have seen this a lot of times with these mutual aid agreements. The departments can only go so far. And then they have to say, you need to pay up. Its a lot of money. Ann, thank you.
