Oakland Police Department Hosts Open House May 4th

By
Another step in the Oakland Police Departments work to rebuild its relationship with the Oakland Community - and this is a good one.

Read from Oakland Local:



Meet Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan, his executive team, other members of the department and the different services they offer during OPD's first-ever open house from 5 to 7:30 p.m. this Friday, May 4, at the Police Administration Building.

In the past, OPD has come under a lot of scrutiny regarding its handling of the Occupy Oakland encampments and rallies. The department is working to regain the confidence of the community by becoming more open with the public and organizing events allowing the community to get to know those who vow to protect and serve in Oakland.

The open house is a great opportunity to learn more about the department and get to know the people who are here to keep Oakland a safe and inviting place to live and visit.

OPD Open House

When: 5 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 4

Where: Police Administration Building, 455 Seventh St. in Oakland

Well, go down there and thank OPD for handling a set of rock-and-hard-place positions it has been in.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

By
Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success.

The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format.
