Hour, its an overcast day across San Francisco bay but thats okay. Because i like overcast days. I think theyre healthy days. We need them every now and then. Alongside Gasia Mikaelian and sal castaneda, im mike mibach. Welcome to this National Grilled Cheese day. Really . I wasnt told about this. Because its not as important as National Equal Pay day. Gasia, weve got news in our own backyard. Lets bring you those live pictures now. Were following developing news from oakland. Theres a truck crash on southbound 880 right after 980. This crash is there blocking almost all of the right hand lanes. So what you want to do to avoid any sort of problem with getting through oakland right now is to use eastbound interstate 580 and plan ahead. You dont want any part of this. On the right is the jackson street exit and traffic is backing up not only on 880 but also backing up on 980. I want to show you on the maps where this is. Its right there at that critical junction. If youre coming to the Jack London Square area and if you know your way around city streets, you might want to do that. Interestingly enough eastbound 580 is a dream come true. You can get through without having to deal with any of this stuff. These are live pictures of the scene. Oakland Fire Department is on the scene there. And it looks like its going to be a while. Theres also a fuel spill associated with this. If youre coming down jack london, do not use 880 unless youre fond of slow traffic. The fact that this truck is on its side and theres a fuel leak, were looking at at least hours before the scene is cleared. Right. They have to get a tow truck thats big enough. They have to right the truck. If the truck is damaged and cannot move, then theyll have to get Something Else to do it. I think just a conservative estimate here, another hour before they get this thing out of there. Well stay on top of it. A lot of people in the east bay concerned this morning about a report of yet another shooting along interstate 80. This makes 17 shootings since november, and two of them were deadly. Ktvus alex savidge on how police are trying to track down the gunman and what drivers have to say this morning. Drivers we talked to are genuinely concerned about whats going on and worried about being caught in the middle of one of these freeway shootings. The latest car to car shooting happened off this stretch of interstate 80 along san pablo road. It happened 8 30 on sunday night. The good news is nobody was hurt in this case. Authorities say a minivan pulled alongside a taxi which was carrying two passengers at the time. Someone in that minivan opened fire on the taxi, hitting the cab, but nobody inside the car was hit by the gunfire. The taxi driver then pulled off the freeway in to a parking lot where those two passengers then ran off before police could get there. This was the 17th car to car shooting along the 80 corridor since late last year. Two people have been killed. And authorities do believe the victims in all of these cases have been targeted as part of a gang feud but the ongoing violence has many drivers on edge. It is really concerning because i do drive and take my daughter to school every day. And i cross that little section where there have been all the shootings. And you never know if its going to hit you or not. Right now the chp is working alongside Richmond Police and federal Law Enforcement agencies, trying to catch the people responsible for this string of shootings. Just last week they carried out a joint raid. One man with a possible connection to one of these shooting cases was taken in to custody. The chp is continuing to step up patrols here along this stretch of freeway and they are urging all drivers to keep their eyes open and report anything suspicious they see along the 80 corridor. Well send it back to you. After being on the Richmond Police force for 31 years, brown is now at the top, just named chief of the Richmond Police department. Joining us this morning is chief brown here on the 9. Thanks for joining us. Ill start with you about the shootings. 17 is a lot. I know Richmond Police are teaming up with chp. Do you believe many of them are retaliatory . The freeway shootings are something that got our attention back in november when these things started to happen. Not many happened in our jurisdiction. But what we learned by working with other agencies is some of these do have connections to folks we know that have connections in richmond. I think its evidence of kind of the changing face of gang and group involved violence where folks have sort of presence in multiple localities and jurisdictions which is why the cooperative effort weve been engaged in for some time now is really helpful and really the best way to combat and counter what we see as some of it is back and forth, targeted among individuals. This is not random stuff thats directed at the public or motorists or anything like that. Its targeted at different groups. Chief, you were just named the permanent chief. But you were interim chief while the other chief left. They put you on top there. Explain why you think its important that you are now the permanent chief, what message that sends. Because for a while people were complaining, we dont know whos going to be the chief. Now that youre there, what could you do that you couldnt do as interim chief . I get to make the policy decisions from the top. I think the plus, one of the pluses in coming up in the organization is ive seen firsthand how we can adapt, evolve, change, and conquer tough challenges. For every success we have, we really create new and different challenges for ourselves. But i know its possible with the smart and capable men and women of our organization, well adapt. You were a narcotics detective. You played a lot of roles in this Department Since you came aboard. 20 years old when you came on . 20 years old. What did you learn when you were kind of on the street that you can relate to as chief now . The thing is this. Community safety is everybodys responsibility, not just a job for the police. What i learned is that the most important sort of variables are the communities, the folks, the people. The public can play a role and historically weve seen this gun violence concentrated in neighborhoods. That could continue because these folks can be anonymous because people dont come forward. Thats not the case anymore. People are looking out, reporting suspicious activity. Why did that change, do you think . I think over time weve been able to develop a greater sense of trust with the neighborhoods we work. We keep officers assigned for a long time so they can understand the character of the neighborhoods, make connections, get involved in community meetings, twoway communication. Do you still make it on to the street . Youre the chief so youre the administrator. Do you still drive around in an unmarked car with your uniform on . If someone were to blow a red light, youd pull them over . As often as i can, i do try to get in to the neighborhoods on a pretty regular basis and make contact. Its in my dna. Once a cop, also a cop. Its kind of instinctive. I met you as a sergeant back when i first started here in 2005, a time when richmonds homicide rate was averaging about 40 such killings a year. In the years since then its been cut down to about half of that. You were just saying you Credit Community support. Essentially people saying dont do that in my neighborhood. Dont do that on my street corner. We used to cover crime scenes where a dozen people were standing around, someone gets shot and killed, but nobody saw anything. Thats changed. Thats changed dramatically. People come forward. They give us information. They call. They report. They can be on the record or anonymous. We still take it. Investigating some of these things, youre putting together the puzzle pieces to figure out what happened. And i think the message is pretty clear though, that neighborhoods dont want to tolerate this kind of thing and they do have a Good Relationship with the Police Department where they can report things anonymously or not and theyll be acted on. When this position came up at other times, did you ever put your name in the hat . For instance, before they hired chief magnus . No, actually, this is the first time i tried for this position. Magnus came aboard, i was a sergeant. So was it a debate with you . Or youre like no, this is what i wanted. I want to be chief. The fortunate thing, the good fortune for me is the last eight of chris magnus 10 years here, i worked pretty close with him. We sort of built and refined the system we have and feel like it works, this geographic neighborhoodbased policing system with layers of technology that help building strong relationships, not just with the community but across the justice spectrum, working with partners to tackle sort of tough problems, tough challenges. We have tough challenges. Chief brown, thanks for joining us. Congratulations to you. Thank you. We might have you back. Keep that in mind. Thank you and congratulations.
