Join our monthly Melrose Community Council Meetup in Oakland, CA and our surrounding neighbors to co-create solutions for topics we'd like to address and get to know your community.

This is our standard, monthly, agenda with specific call-outs for scheduled speakers or Action Committee topic discussions:

6:30-7:00pm catch up with neighbors
7:00-7:05pm call to order & review agenda for the night

+ Safety: Why don't the police come when we call 911?

This is a meant to be an open dialog between community members and local Oakland Police Departments (c/o Eastmont PD) to understand how Dispatch answers calls and how they choose which ones to respond to.

Come meet our new area Police Captain and a representative from Oakland Police 911 Dispatch to hear how their process works and be able to ask questions about possible improvements in this collaborative setting.

7:05-7:20pm Municipal check in (District Council Reps go first, at 5 minutes each then Oakland Police will provide updates leading to the Featured Speakers session)

7:20-7:30pm Featured Speaker(s)

+ Eastmont PD & Dispatch - an overview of 911 response protocols

+ Bond Street Residents: A solution for the homeless encampment on Bond Street, and a request for your consideration and contributions.

7:30-7:45pm Join Action Committees for Break Out Sessions
7:45-8:15pm Action Committees share needs with Members
8:15-8:30pm next steps & say goodnight
