Oakland city councilmembers voted Tuesday to allocate nearly $780,000 to measures aimed at improving safety in the city this holiday season.
The city is giving $464,000 to the Downtown Oakland Association community benefit district to deploy nighttime civilian ambassadors to provide guidance and safety to visitors as well as other efforts. Those include property security improvements such as the security camera program and for traffic management and street closures.
Last week, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf announced the overall effort, which she introduced at Tuesday's council meeting.ALSO READ: Oakland Police extends crime plan through holidays as homicide rate drops "You will see a higher presence of officers where we know people come to shop, dine, and enjoy our city," Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong said in a statement."Also, we will remain laser-focused on addressing homicides and shootings in Oakland."
