Not only will Libby hire police we need, she will also institute better policing practices and drive crime prevention and school outcomes for our children. As Mayor, Libby Schaaf will:
Work to hire more police officers to protect every Oakland neighborhood and bring the Oakland police department up to full strength.
Speed up police investigations and keep police officers out in our neighborhoods.
Build an improved 911 system to speed up response times so the police come when you call.
Improve neighborhood policing that reduces violence by building trust, identifying the specific needs in the neighborhood, and using data to know where to step in before crime happens.
