    California Highway Patrol officers are being deployed by the governor to
    help Oakland and the East Bay region crack down on crime.

    Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday announced 120 CHP officers will participate
    in the law enforcement surge operation. The strategy is to saturate the
    area with officers and investigators who will work with other law
    enforcement agencies within Alameda County.

    "As crime rates across California decrease — including right across the
    Bay in San Francisco — Oakland is seeing the opposite trend. What"s
    happening in this beautiful city and surrounding area is alarming and unacceptable," Newsom said in a statement. "I'm sending the California
    Highway Patrol to assist local efforts to restore a sense of safety that
    the hardworking people of Oakland and the East Bay demand and deserve."

    CHP's surge operation focuses on targeting auto theft, cargo theft,
    retail crime, violent crime, and high-visibility traffic enforcement.
    License plate reader technology and specialized CHP units, including K9s
    and air support, will also be used during the operation, the governor's
    office said.

    The move follows calls for state help from local organizations and
    politicians including the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and
    Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao. In January, a group of Oakland community
    leaders traveled to Sacramento and met with the governor in person.

    According to a recent Oakland Police Department crime report, between
    2021 and 2023 there was a 21 percent increase in violent crime, a 38
    percent increase in robberies and a 45 percent increase in vehicle
    thefts.

    In September, the Newsom administration approved the distribution of
    over $267 million to local police and sheriff's departments and district attorney's offices throughout California to fight organized retail
    theft. The money went to create task forces, hire and train staff and
    purchase new technologies. There were 55 awardees, but Oakland received
    no funds because it missed the application deadline.

    In the governor's Tuesday statement about the surge, Mayor Sheng Thao
    expressed gratitude.

    "The surge of crime and violence that we are seeing in our streets is completely unacceptable," Thao said. "The City of Oakland is hard at
    work turning the tide — increasing law enforcement investigations,
    increasing police recruitment, and investing in community and violence intervention efforts. As we work to improve public safety, I'm grateful
    for Governor Newsom for providing these critical law enforcement
    resources that are a game-changer in helping us hold more criminals
    accountable and make Oakland safer."
