The purpose of the Police Commission is to oversee the Oakland Police Department's policies, practices, and customs to meet national standards of constitutional policing and to oversee the Community Police Review Agency which investigates police misconduct and recommends discipline. The Police Commission is now accepting applications for Chief of Police.
The Police Commission is comprised of seven regular and two alternate members, enabled by Measure LL. All commissioners are Oakland residents and serve in a volunteer capacity.
The Police Commission meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. Meetings are held at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chamber. All meeting dates are subject to change.
