1. Even though Oakland is in the midst of a violent crime wave, the city’s police union says it doesn’t want help from the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, the Trib reported. Oakland councilmembers Libby Schaaf and Larry Reid are pushing a plan to bring in sheriff’s deputies to help the understaffed police department until OPD can complete police academies and hire new officers. But the police union, which has long had a contentious relationship with Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, apparently doesn’t want to work with sheriff’s deputies on city streets.
