Evaluation

Measure Y Evaluation
Measure Y legislation requires a professional evaluation of how well policing and violence prevention services are implemented.  Three percent (3%) of the Measure Y funds are dedicated to violence prevention and police services are budgeted for evaluation.  The Oakland City Administrator’s Office oversees the contract administration of the Measure Y evaluation. Resource Development Associates and Gibson and Associates won a competitive process to evaluate Measure Y.  Thier evaluation reports are below:

1)         In general, the Juvenile Justice Center/OUSD Wrap Around Services, Re-Entry and Employment and Street Outreach programs align to best practices.

2)         Of the over 300 individuals served by Re-Entry employment programs in the first 9 months of FY 2009-10 program year, 113 obtained employment and 94 retained employment for at least 30 days. During this same period, street outreach workers placed 41 individuals in jobs.

3)         Nearly all eligible Oakland youth exiting Juvenile Hall were re-enrolled in an OUSD school or education program.  The average reenrollment time shrunk from over a week to just over one day.

4)          OPD use of the problem solving database, SARA, has increased significantly since January, 2010.
