The Oakland Police Department patrol and special operations are organized under Police Areas 1, 2, and 3 (under Bureau of Field Operations One) and Police Areas 4, 5, and 6 (under Bureau of Field Operations Two). Through these divisions, OPD provides day-to-day police services, including response to emergency and non-emergency calls, preliminary investigations and evidence collection, community-oriented problem solving, and crime-fighting efforts.
We are committed to making information available to the public. The links below provide information related to OPD policies, the Negotiated Settlement Agreement (NSA), Occupy Oakland, and other relevant police public information.
To help you succeed in the application process, we offer seminars and workshops.
