city is taking a close look at the santa clara sheriff department to take the job. while the move could save the city money, residents worry that response time might increase and it's not worth it. >> when i was on patrol, i saw our officers not only understand an area but they knew where the criminals were within the houses and within the city. i don't see how somebody outside the city can have that knowledge. and i don't care how much it costs they have to quantify that in dollars and tell us how they expect to get the job done. >> i don't expect the outsourcing, we will ask and i'm sure we'll have a lot, a lot of public input. there will be a lot, a lot of analysis. >> reporter: the city assumes

the annual salary for this past year as $200,000 each. city is in negotiations with the police for an outside contract. and a proposal is due by october 2nd. >> thank you, tear ya. scenes s.w.a.t. teens from teams from -- s.w.a.t. teams from around the country are here. 30 s.w.a.t. teams competing this year. it is closed to the public for safety reasons. authorities need your help to find a missing man from san carlos. 25-year-old derek olson was last seen leaving his home two weeks ago around 10:30 at night. san mateo sheriff says that he had been home bound for the past two years but didn't say why. olson has been telling his family that he wanted to walk to san jose to visit his

san jose with some practical advice on. this good afternoon, ann >> reporter: good afternoon. according to a new study, it's actually cheaper right now to own than rent. it may be a good time to buy. frustrated with renting? gaysha is. >> the rent goes up, 100, 200, 350 and that's unfortunate. >> reporter: acoeur d'alening to a study, it may actually be cheap tore buy than to rent. it looked at data nationwide for june, july and august and found that in oakland, it's 41% cheaper to own. in san francisco, 28% and in san jose, owning saves you about 31%. real estate appraiser frank schmitt says that in san jose, that amounts to hundreds of dollars a month. >> total payment, less deduction for doctor writeoff, about 1900 and a comparable house would be probably 2r5 hundred a month for rent.

>> reporter: this is a big change from the same time last year. lower mortgage rates and higher rents are a fact tonchts it's still the american dream to own a house that plays in part of this as well. but as rent keeps increasing, these people who are renters will look to home buyers as well. >> reporter: one problem, in the bay area, there is high demand and low supply. so bidding is competitive. >> you have something and if you sell it, you get some money back. of course, you have all these costs and the cost for living there, but, at the end, i have to save some money by owning >> reporter: renters say that the study does not necessarily reflect the reality of home buying right now. >> it takes more sense to buy than to rent if you've got the cash, right? if you don't have that hefty deposit to put down on property, you have no other option but to rent. >> reporter: now to, get their numbers, the study assumed

mortgage rate of 3.5% and that you would hold on to the home for at least seven years. live in san jose, ann rubin, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, ann. the local company, trulia had its ipo this morning. we'll tell you how the stocks are doing. meantime, the san francisco district attorney is announcing an elaborate real estate scam which swindled millions of dollars from banks. the crime involves a $2.2 million mortgage fraud scheme that was broken up two years ago. four men were charged in the case. they are accused of forging documents to make it appear as if they owned three condos in the building. the trial last the for six months -- the trial lasted for six months. we'll have a verdict when the announcement is made. make room in your mailbox for more ads and catalogs. i'll tell you why the postal

years. advertisers turned out what they call volume-based customers. that means mo more people will get junk in the mail. >> i think we should move in the direction of digital mail that the post office has to find another kind of solution in order to, you know, make it economically viable. but going in this direction is the wrong direction. >> reporter: of course, customers can opt out of the direct mail ad. one company in berkeley helps you do just that. we stopped by this morning and talked to the president of catalog choice. it is a do not call list for junk mail, essentially. people use the free service to pick and choose which catalog and advertisements they would like to receive. the president believes this is a bad move by the postal service, catering to advertisers and pushing more mailing to customers. >> it is the thing that you want, and then the value will be greater for the mailers, but

too look at this as a one-sided situation where you only serve the mailer and not the mail rezip weren't, that's a short sighted approach. >> reporter: catalogs choice works with about 1100 cities across the country including berkeley, setting up website where people can go and stop the junk mail that they have been receiving. the company, so far has had about 26 million optouts. they expect that number to rise as the postal continues its strategy. people may already have noticed a difference, maybe just one or two extra pieces of nail that mailbox every day. live in berkeley, alex savage, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, alex. both presidential candidates are in florida concentrating on the latino vote. president obama arrived in miami this morning. he is appearing at a candidate forum on the spanish language
