Did you know that there are officers who focus specifically on your neighborhood? They are the ones to call if you have any problems. This is part of the partnership between the Police Department and the residents of Oakland. We work together to prevent crime and solve neighborhood problems. Visit the Bureau of Field Operations page for more information.

If you would like to find the officer who is assigned to your neighborhood or business location, use this Community Policing Beat Map of the City to find what area and beat you live in. You can enlarge the map to read street names.

Problem-solving officers have been assigned to work with community members to help solve neighborhood issues.  The Problem-Solving Officer Directory lists the commanding sergeant and specific problem-solving officer assigned to every community policing beat and corresponding Neighborhood Crime Prevention Councils. (Please note that the directory will soon be updated with phone numbers for direct contact.)
