<strong>News</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Department</strong><br />
· Sell the Kaiser Convention Center for $10 million<br />
· Place a parcel tax on the ballot to collect an<br />
additional $20 million for public safety<br />
If those measures fail, the <strong>City</strong> Council is proposing to<br />
close the $30 million deficit by laying <strong>of</strong>f police<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficers. If the <strong>City</strong> cuts police <strong>of</strong>ficers, it could not<br />
collect Measure Y funds, which currently pays for 63<br />
police <strong>of</strong>ficers plus $4 million dollars in overtime for<br />
the Fire <strong>Department</strong>. Council is proposing to lay <strong>of</strong>f 27<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficers in order to make up for the $4 million loss. <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> Council would need to lay <strong>of</strong>f 87 <strong>of</strong>ficers a result <strong>of</strong><br />
losing Measure Y funding plus up to another 180<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficers in order to close the $30 million deficit. <strong>The</strong> loss<br />
<strong>of</strong> 287 <strong>of</strong>ficers would be catastrophic to the<br />
organization and its mission - to provide the<br />
Community <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oakland</strong> an environment where they<br />
can live, work, play, and thrive free <strong>from</strong> crime and fear<br />
<strong>of</strong> crime.<br />
