The Police Chief responded that he does not currently have said information; the ratio is approximately 48% from outside of town. Vice Mayor Vella inquired how long cases are kept open when there is no video or witness to help solve cases. The Police Chief responded cases are left open; stated cases can be suspended, but can always be reopened; violent crimes are always left open; if there is a statute of limitations, a report will still be done to show who committed the crime. Expressed concerns with the fear based policy and how residents call in about suspicious people might be the same people advocating for policy and the police forum; urged Council to have regular reporting by race, gender and geography to allow people to see that people in different areas encounter law enforcement differently: Rasheed Shabazz, Alameda.
