On Monday, April 19,<br />
2010, the <strong>Oakland</strong> <strong>Police</strong><br />
<strong>Department</strong> took another<br />
step toward its goal to<br />
maintain 803 <strong>of</strong>ficers. 22<br />
police <strong>of</strong>ficer trainees<br />
began the<br />
process <strong>of</strong> becoming<br />
<strong>Oakland</strong> police <strong>of</strong>ficers by attending a basic police academy.<br />
With the challenges <strong>of</strong> budgetary restraints, the <strong>Oakland</strong> <strong>Police</strong><br />
<strong>Department</strong> has partnered with the Alameda County<br />

academy began on Monday, April 19th<br />
with orientations, and will run until the scheduled graduation<br />
date <strong>of</strong> early November <strong>of</strong> this year.<br />
