Questions arise over unarmed security at Peralta colleges
Questions arise over Peralta Community College District’s unarmed security firm
Peralta Community College District will cease use of Alameda County sheriff's deputies on campus. But questions arise over the vetting process of the unarmed security firm the district will now employ.
OAKLAND, Calif. - Two weeks from now, armed Alameda County sheriff's deputies will be a thing of the past at Laney College in Oakland, and other campuses that make up the Peralta Community College District.
"The relationship with the Alameda sheriffs ends on Dec. 31. So that really put them under a lot of pressure," said David Rowe, a journalist at Peralta Citizen, which covers the four community college campuses in the district.
