At the last Oakley City Council Meeting, the Council received a report and held a public input session regarding how police services are delivered in Oakley. Acknowledging how critical police services are for a safe, vibrant and successful community, last year the Council directed City staff to begin a specific study about how the City can best maintain (and even improve) these quality police services - especially as the City grows. "We want to make sure that Oakley continues to provide high-quality police services now and well into the future. The costs for these services are very high and we need to make sure we have a plan that will allow us to add police officers over time," said Mayor Doug Hardcastle.
