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
