Last night, the Oakland City Council approved the Mayor’s and the Selection Panel’s appointments to the new Police Commission, which was formed with the overwhelming support of Oakland voters last November. Mayor Libby Schaaf appointed me as an alternate police commissioner, meaning I will sit as a commissioner if another mayoral appointee is absent or steps down from the commission. I am honored to serve the City I love and look forward to the challenges this appointment may offer. I will be revising my resume to reflect this change in the coming days.
