OPD CARES is the Department’s new initiative, as we stand with our community focusing on the prevention of violence through outreach, and engagement. The Oakland Police Department recognizes the traumatic impact violence can have on a community, particularly amid a COVID-19 Pandemic.

As we plan to deploy additional resources to the areas most impacted by the violence, we remain committed to deterring further violence and identifying those responsible in a focused and intelligence-led approach.
