Oakland Public Safety Committee Debates JTTF Withdrawal

Update: Oakland terminated its MOU with the JTTF task force on 10-20-20.

On October 13 at 2:3opm, Oakland’s Public Safety committee will debate a measure from City Council chair Rebecca Kaplan to withdraw the Oakland Police Department from the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF). The City of San Francisco withdrew in 2017, and Portland, Oregon withdrew in 2019.

If the committee (members are Kaplan, Nikki Fortunato Bas, Noel Gallo and Loren Taylor), advances it, the measure will move on to the full City Council.
