Gov. Gavin Newsom is sending 120 more CHP officers to Oakland and the East Bay – a 900% increase – to help cities fight crime.
The officers will be concentrated in Oakland, along the Hegenberger corridor and Rockridge, as two examples, where the mayor has said for the last year that she wanted that extra help. "As crime rates across California decrease — including right across the Bay in San Francisco — Oakland is seeing the opposite trend," Newsom said in a statement later sent to KTVU. "What’s happening in this beautiful city and surrounding area is alarming and unacceptable.
Mayor Sheng Thao called the CHP increase a "game changer" in helping hold "more criminals accountable and make Oakland safer.""The surge of crime and violence that we are seeing in our streets is completely unacceptable," Thao said in a statement Tuesday "The city of Oakland is hard at work turning the tide — increasing law enforcement investigations, increasing police recruitment, and investing in community and violence intervention efforts.
