    BUDGET DEMANDS 2017-2019

    OUR PLAN

    WHAT COULD WE HAVE SAVED?

    ​

    What exactly do we need the Oakland Police Department to do? Are we getting the most out of our city's budget?

     

    Budget Scenario 1:

    10% REDUCTION - Save $27.6 million​

    • We could do this just by eliminating overtime pay!!!

     

    Budget Scenario 2:

    25% REDUCTION - Save $69 million

    • We could do this by eliminating overtime pay and a reduction of 198 officers

    • 93% increase in Health and Human Services Budget

     

    Budget Scenario 3:

    50% REDUCTION - Save $138 million

    • We could do this by eliminating overtime pay and a reduction of 528 officers

    • Assuming $70K salary and benefits, we could afford 1,971 social workers, teachers, healers, or counselors

    Our budget demands: audit OPD, shrink police force, hire more qualified city employees
