California Governor Gavin Newsom is deploying 120 California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers to Oakland and the East Bay to address a surge in thefts, violent crime, and offenses. The targeted law enforcement surge operation aims to combat vehicle theft, retail theft, and violent crime. Newsom also announced a partnership with Alameda County to boost criminal prosecutions, with state attorneys from the California National Guard and the state’s Department of Justice being sent to help prosecute crimes in the area. The move comes as 2023 crime statistics show a 21% increase in violent crime, a 38% increase in robberies, and a 45% increase in car thefts in Oakland. The deployment is part of Newsom's efforts to restore a sense of safety and crack down on the alarming and unacceptable crime surge in the city and surrounding area.
