12:04 pm
pleased that the uncertainty regarding the oakland chief of police position has been resolved. oakland's diligent police officers eagerly anticipate collaborating with chief michel to serving our community. now, chief michel start date is being finalized, but it is expected to begin leading the oakland police department sometime between april and may. now he's going to be moving to oakland with his wife, rebecca, and he is the father of 2 adult sons, ben and even justine. theresa, thank you so much. about we're going go live now and chat with oakland mayor sheng thao. she's joining us here during kron. 4 news at noon so we can get. >> a little more insight into how she got to this too. pick flood. michel mayor, thank you for joining us. absolutely. thank you for always having need. so why did you pick floyd mitchell? how did he stand out from the pack of the 4 candidates that were handed to you from the police commission? absolutely. you know, chief michel is a strong
12:05 pm
leader. he just might for a smart crime fighter who also delivers results. >> and that's the key factor than looking for is results. i know that has a commitment to proving crime reduction strategies, including proactive policing and strong officer community engagement. and this is these are the reasons why he did what he was bolted up to the top of the list for me. you it is no secret that we're still in the federal oversight. and so having that strong proactive policing and strong officer community going to be key. and as our city's top police officer, chief michel will join, you know, a talented public safety leadership teen. you know, it's just not one chief that does. the work is multiple different cheese, including the fire chief department, the chief of department funds prevention myself and city minister justin johnson. and i know that he will carry out the law enforcement elements oakland's comprehensive public safety strategy to a >> so he stood out from the pack it in pick the female who was on the list. you also didn't pick the a local police
12:06 pm
chief who was on the list. was there something about those 2 candidates that you didn't like as much as what you're picking with floyd mitchell. >> you know, i always want to thank those who put their name in the hat to really do this hard it is hard work. it is hard work. what i like to call it. you know, all the candidates were qualified and i thank them for the process. but for me, she floyd mitchell really is and, you know, showed at his proven leadership through all of the results that he's been able to other cities that he was chief un. however, at the end of the day, you know, i do believe that this is a great pairing with my public safety personnel. and yet again, it's never just one person. it's always 18. and so making sure that we have this missing puzzle piece so important and i'm so excited that we finally have a team to move forward. >> so glenn is a lot larger
12:07 pm
than lubbock, texas. what makes you think that he can lead a city this big that has so many issues? >> well, you know, he first started off at kansas city. and so when he was in kansas city, i know that he's great work that really showed results again. wherever he was placed at whether it be lebec, whether it be in kansas city or any other city. we saw that from what there was a reduction in crime. when he was there. and so that's a very, very much key to me and not just that. but the response time from our officers while he was in these respective cities, you know, the response times, we're actually decrease that meaning that the that calls for be responded to in a more appropriate manner. and so i'm expecting that, you know, when he comes to the city of oakland that wepcan, you know, chip at the ice block in regards some of the issues that we're dealing with here. >> and the took a day when he was working in lubbock for how the 9-1-1 system was being handled. they were being faulted for an increasing number of unanswered 9-1-1. calls oakland already having its issues with the 9-1-1
12:08 pm
system. how did he convince you that he learned from that issue and that those same mistakes won't happen in oakland? >> you know, oakland is finally on the right track to improving our 9-1-1 system with a 2.5 million dollars that the council myself have invested into it. so absolutely. this was top of mind for me. and so i asked him directly this question, you know, about the situation. and quite honestly, i was very impressed with his response. he didn't make any excuses. but instead he talked about what he had learned from the experience and that what experience do that experience, what you'll be able to bring to strengthen open systems here and so making sure so his response to impress me and the key is making sure the staffing levels are adequate in 9-1-1, here in the city of oakland in order to maintain answer times and actually get better with it. and then, of course, the preventive and in calls he was adamant about the need to care for the well-being of our 9-1-1, dispatchers in order to retain them, which we find that and
12:09 pm
in the past has been a problem here in the city thank you so i'm confident that when he comes here that he'll bring his experience to only add on to our streets. >> and oakland's been seeing a lot of issues with a sharp increase in crime. a lot of public safety issues have been coming up recently. stores being broken into cars being broken into people being hurt on the street. how did he explain to you how he's going to fix those issues within the town? >> you know what really liked about his response to this is that he understands comprehensive approach, a comprehensive and proactive approach, not just a response, but being proactive. and so he is on board in regards to cease-fire strategy we've implemented and put together is a cease-fire strategy earlier this year. it's in full effect now and what that means is that we're now seeing crimes actually trend down. and i'm hopeful and optimistic that crime will continue to trend down. and so with that being said again, he is only one of the puzzle pieces to our comprehensive approach.
12:10 pm
now, i do believe i have my 18 when it comes to public safety and that is going to be with chief michel chief holly joshi from the dbp and also chief covington from the fire department. >> so he's going to start in april. we understand april or may. so what happens between now and then? how do you introduce him to the department and how do you introduce him to people of oakland? >> absolutely. so he will be here in the next week. and i do plan introducing him his first round of introductions to the community to his rank and file officers. but before you know, before we end on, i just want to say that i want to uplift chief darren allison. you know, chief allison check on the reigning of interim chief. we didn't think that he would be in this position for over a year, but he has been and he has done such an absolutely terrific job at keeping a steady hand at the wheel. so that our department would have that leadership. and so i definitely want to make sure that we up lifted. thank
12:11 pm
darren allison who has over 20 years of experience here in the city of oakland. >> do you wish interim chief allison had gotten the position permanently? >> well, absolutely. you know, i think that i have the right chief for the right time chief did not apply for the position. you know, i he he understands that, you know, this is a position that he was wanting to. it is sooner rather than later passed the baton over. and so i'm excited for what his leadership and his mentor ship chief michel, he comes on board. i know that there will be a easy transition as you know, chief darren allison. it will go back to his assistant chief job. and there's a little difference there. but i'm excited for the partnership. >> do you feel some relief that this is over now? >> well, absolutely. and i think that all oaklanders, including our officers are officers who go to work every single day. you know, whether there's a pandemic or whether there has just been you know,
12:12 pm
officer shooting, you know, they wake up and they come to work every day and to have this kind of steadiness, you know, stability in the department is what everybody is looking for. and so, of course, the process was little interesting. however, we are here today and our chief is chief michel. interesting as one way to put it. oakland mayor sheng thao, thank you for joining us. let chief michel know we would like to chat with him. if you can put in a word for us. we'd appreciate that. thank god. >> and stay with us here on kron. 4 on air and online as we learn more about oakland's next police chief. our coverage will continue throughout the day right here and also on our website, kron 4 dot com. coming up here, a new ucsf study says latino children are at a higher risk of having too much fat building up in their livers. >> doctors will explain why. plus another victim coming forward in the east bay accusing a teacher of abuse. a teacher is teachers. the lawyer is saying what needs to happen.
