Oakland Police Chief Laments Reallocation of Police Funding, Argues OPD Stretched Too Thin

That reallocation includes $4 million for a pilot program of the Mobile Assistance Community Responders of Oakland, shortened as MACRO, which will dispatch trained personnel to respond to non-violent and non-criminal issues of mental and behavioral health. The funding in Schaaf s proposed budget would have supported the addition of two police academy classes to the city s usual four over the next two years. Even with the council s reallocation of police funding spread across the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 fiscal years, the city would still spend more than the $317 million in police expenditures in the budget for the 2020-2021 fiscal year, which ends Wednesday.
