When Crime Occurs

If you see a crime in progress, call the police!

Only call 911 from a land line!

From a cell phone call 777-3211 which routes directly to OPD dispatch.  For MEDICAL OR FIRE EMERGENCIES ONLY, you can call the Fire Department directly at 510-444-1616.

To report a crime that has already happened, call the non-emergency number 777-3333, or fill in OPD's Online Crime Reporting form.  You'll find the link on their Report a Crime page.

Join the Greater Rockridge Neighborhood Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) at our free bi-monthly August meeting. Meet your Community Resource Officers, hear their report on neighborhood crime and public safety. In August you'll also:

  •     Meet Acting Captain Randy Wingate, the new commander for OPD's Area 2, who will address the meeting briefly
  •     Hear a presentation from Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth on "Building Alternatives to Youth Incarceration"

If enough people show up, we will vote whether to install a new Treasurer for the NCPC - Eric Neville has volunteered to serve.  We'll need 15 people to hold the vote.

The meeting is at 7:30 PM, Thursday, August 11, in the Rockridge Library.

I recently read a discussion on FaceBook started by a friend who is trying to sell a motorcycle on Craigslist, and who got some odd-sounding offers from people out of state.  His friends (including me) all insisted that it sounded fishy, and one poster shared a link to this article about a number of known scams on Craigslist, all of which involve PayPal.  You should read this - you will learn things about doing business through PayPal that you didn't know. I certainly did.  Here's the article link:

Commerce on the internet can be risky.  Be safe out there.
