Berkeley staffing crisis slows services, burns out workers, audit finds berkeleyside.org/2023/07/05/…

Berkeley staffing crisis slows services, burns out workers, audit finds

The city's staffing vacuum and rapid turnover means city agencies also lose institutional knowledge and experience in some city processes.

Thrilled to share that our independent audit office will be launching a whistleblower program. Resolution passed this week by City Council. So appreciate the opportunity to help Berkeley by building a program to address fraud, waste and abuse in city government. #accountability

I’m glad to see this important piece by @GreeneBarrett. The more organizations rely on data, the more they need a strong independent audit function.

CM @loridroste says the city needs to have more conversations about "the appropriate level of staffing" for the level of service the community expects, otherwise the city runs into issues with police overtime. @BerkeleyAuditor took a deep look. berkeleyside.org/2022/03/04/… #berkmtg
Open patrol beats are the biggest driver of police officer overtime, audit finds

The Berkeley Police Department does not follow its own overtime limits and needs policies to govern outside security work, a new audit found.

Ever wondered why there's often a Berkeley police officer parked outside the Apple store on Fourth Street? @BerkeleyAuditor Jenny Wong dug into this and so much more for her office's latest audit on ballooning police overtime costs in recent years. berkeleyside.org/2022/03/04/…

It’s #NationalWhistleblowerDay! We recognize the long history of whistleblowers who help combat waste, fraud, & violations of laws & regulations. The City's own Whistleblower Program is run by our office. Over the years, complaints big & small have led to real consequences.

Tonight at #berkmtg: A new report from @BerkeleyAuditor Jenny Wong. Her office found that the city's vehicle fleet replacement fund is $7M short of national standards for fleets of similar size. That leads to a replacement backlog and other issues. BKGD: cityofberkeley.info/Auditor/…
