With a $200 million deficit, big budget cuts could be looming for Oakland, and the cuts some are most afraid of are those to public safety.
The police and fire departments are bracing for the worst, but how much gets cut hinges on the sale of Oakland's share of the Coliseum property.If the sale goes through and the city gets at least $15 million by Sept. 1, the cuts may not be too drastic. Even though some say any cut at all will have a significant impact.Bishop Bob Jackson with the Acts Full Gospel Church sees the impacts of crime every day in his community. It really hit home when he received this terrifying news.
'I can't see a solution on how we can effectively handle crimes and respond to calls in the city,' said Huy Nguyen, OPOA President.Nguyen argues the department has lower staffing levels than it did 25 years ago, when there were 50,000 fewer residents.'They're asking whether it's difficult for a police officer to work here,' asked Nguyen. 'It's difficult for citizens to live in this city and that's the question we have to ask our citizens.
