>> we were at the news conference today. she has a look at the cuts and where the money is going. >> reporter: over the next two years, $18 million will be diverted from the oakland police department to help fund other alternative programs intended to prevent crime and respond to other minor offensese today, the chief of police said he had a hard time wrapping his head around the concept of defunding his department. at one point, he became emotional when talking about losing a god sister and responding to a recent crime. >> saturday night, i went went to a scene of a young man who lost his life, and a lady yelled out the window, do something about it! without the resources, it makes it challenging to make it safe. >> reporter: according accordin armstrong, every type of crime

has increased so far this year in comparison to 2020. still, that plea was not enough to convince the majority of councilmembers who voted 6 to 2 to divert money from the police department. >> we have been spending more and more money toward policing. in fact, our policing budget has grown by 70% over the past 15 years, yet we still need to do a better job getting guns off the streets. we need to do a much better job solving violent crimes, and that investment needs to start somewhere. >> reporter: it is the timing that concerns lauren taylor. these new alternative programs will not be placed until early next year. taylor said most of the people he represents in east oakland are worried. >> they wanted to ensure that there was a safety net of support. while we are waiting on these new solutions to come up and be viable -- >> reporter: oakland has 714 officers. the merit proposed increasing

the number by adding two more police academy classes. >> having 714 officers is far too low. we should be working as hard as we can to get this department fully staffed to the 788 officers that are authorized. that is what is key. >> reporter: the tape also argued that the population in oakland has increased in the past several years. therefore, there is a need for more officers. for example, in 2012, there were 392,000 residents. the latest number 2019 recorded 425,000 people living in oakland. leah melendez, abc 7 7 7 7 7 7 across the bay, police finding funding in the budget, it calls for 2 police academies, the proposal is in the hands of the budget committee. it still has a couple more

steps to go before it makes it to mayor london breed. >> all of this being said, let's get our abc7 insider now. phil, what is your take on these plans to defund these departments? >> we are seeing decisions for defunding police that were made in the height of a pandemic and after the george floyd tragedy. that is what swept the nation. it swept city halls of the bay area. now we are being faced with a rise in violent crime and property crimes. you can go right across the street from kgo and see the glass on the parking lot floors from people breaking in. what we are seeing is sort of the reality and rhetoric, and it has renewed the debate. what was already in the works, cutting back, reimagining police, setting aside being forcefully reconsidered, they

are giving police raises. other cities, same thing. >> this could not have been predicted last summer. you touched on the crime we are seeing outside the kgo studios. we will show that video later on in the newscast. i will share with you this pole. this was released last week. it shows residents want more police officers on the streets and increasing the community. people are speaking out about this. >> they are, but they are not speaking out loudly. we in history usually mandate by minority -- in other words, the 25% that may be in favor of reimagining or defunding, they go to every meeting at the san francisco police commission. they go to every meeting at the oakland city hall. they are the people who knock on doors of the elections, and they are a force to be reckoned with. the average person isn't at a

police hearing. they will be very upset when they make out a police report. that's not where they are at. >> maybe they will make a post on social media. >> that's what's going on, social media, yes, and they are getting upset about it and politicians are hearing. some are calling for defunding and reimagining the police. when it comes to their districts, they are on the phone to the local captains, hey, we need people down here for this weekend event. we need to keep it from getting out of hand. right. so oakland is down police officers, san francisco is down police officers, a number places are down police officers, the so the shrinking of the police force will keep going down because they are having a tougher and tougher time finding people that are even willing to become police officers. meanwhile, areas outside of the bay area are attracting police officers to leave. >> i have heard that from a

number of sources who say it is frankly easier to go to another department. i understand that. any thanks to you. we have new details from florida. the death toll has increased to 11 in the condo collapse. 150 people are still unaccounted for. two members of the fire department fema urban search rescue task force left for surfside today. they were requested to work on a specialized incident support team. >> we support members in need because we know we have that need in oakland, 89 and 91, the earthquake and the fire sale, it is nice to be able to support other agencies because they have supported us in our time of need. >> 80 rescuers are working in the pile of rubble at one time. officials say they are not ready to transition efforts from rescue to recovery. moving on, one month after the vta railyard shooting in san jose, there could be help coming from the state

family members. >> reporter: the proposal will be voted on by the legislature. it calls for $20 million to go towards capital repairs and emotional healing. her family members and also vta employees -- >> 100 workers witnessed this tragedy going down firsthand. the long-term mental health impacts of experiencing something like that is truly unknown to most of us, it is something that professional assistance and resources can help. >> reporter: officials say they know this is just the start, it will likely take more money and more time to recover from what happened here. in san jose, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. starting today, california will restrict straight travel to nine states in what the attorney general calls a wave of this form of tory laws nationwide. >> as of june, there have been more than 250 anti-lgbtq states
