line with a federal judge's order stemming from a civil rights lawsuit from human rights abuses. another system used to help identify at risk behavior wasn't used because that vendor went out of business. the auditor made 22 recommendations for improvement including a long term purchasing plan. reporting live in oakland, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> oakland mayor says she will fight the finding of the new report that cast the police department in a bad light. >> like many other thing in my short life as a mayor, i feel i'm sort of the pinch hitter at the bottom of the ninth. some of the things in the report are pretty old and that's one of the problems i found as being mayor for 18 months. i get reports that are six months old on things that happened six months ago. in this city that's a lifetime. >> she says most of the reports complaints have been solved. one of the most trouble findings
