Against the latest wave of lethal gun violence, Oakland police said they will call on all available resources, adding eight officers to a criminal investigative division in hopes of clearing crimes…
Those efforts will include deployment of extra officers to several East Oakland and a couple of West Oakland neighborhoods that have logged particularly active violent episodes, as well as renewed efforts from community resource officers and the department’s Ceasefire team and violent-crime operations center members, and anticipated staffing increases from an upcoming academy graduation October 27.
Armstrong singled out gang and group violence as the most active of several factors affecting community safety, saying that 137 of 450 shootings this year have been attributed to it. The chief thanked San Francisco police for their help in dealing with increased visibility and activity from some of that city’s groups, leading to several arrests so far.
“We feel like there’s only a small group of people that are driving violence in the city of Oakland. These individuals are active, and we need to identify them and we need the community’s help to bring them forward so that we can make those key arrests.”
