Meet Oakland native, Officer Leyva, OPD’s Trust Building Officer for the Fruitvale neighborhood. Fluent in English and Spanish, Officer Leyva serves as a vital link between the residents, visitors, and business owners in the area.

One of the most difficult and honorable things we do as law enforcement leaders is care for the officers and family members of our fallen heroes. The sacrifices made by OPD members and families members that choose this profession must never be forgotten.

Yesterday, I had the immense pleasure of introducing Oakland's next Police Chief, Floyd Mitchell, to our beautiful town. This event marked a pivotal moment in Oakland's law enforcement leadership, as Chief Mitchell steps into his new role with a commitment to community safety and collaboration.

In 1962, President Kennedy signed a resolution designating today, May 15th, as National Peace Officers Memorial Day, a day which recognizes fallen officers. Earlier this month, our very own Honor Guard traveled to Austin to participate in the memorial service there. This week, we will be honoring and recognizing fallen officers and their service to the Hub City📷📷#NationalPeaceOfficersMemorialDay

We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have these folks by our side every day, but especially on #AdministrativeProfessionalsDay! We want to send a special "Thank You" to all of LPD's Administrative Professionals!
