Oakland has seen an overall decrease in crime since February, which Newsom attributes to the presence of the CHP, something he plans to increase fourfold.
The suspect was identified through one of the newly installed high-tech cameras, which provide law enforcement with real-time information and alerts to identify and locate vehicles associated with criminal activity.
Report finds that the Oakland Police Department lacks the manpower to respond to the volume of alerts; and faults city's "lack of strategic vision" in implementing the technology.
