Community Volunteers Needed for OPD Hiring Panels: May 6th and May 7th
OPD is looking for community members who are interested in becoming involved in the hiring of future police officers for the City of Oakland by serving on oral board panels.
On May 6 and May 7, 2013, the Oakland Police Department will hold oral boards to interview potential candidates for police officer positions. Involving community perspectives early and often in the recruiting, hiring, and training process are essential elements in our obligation to strengthen community trust and collaboration.
This could be a one or two day commitment for those interested. Community members do not have to serve both days, but willingness to commit to both days is appreciated for the success of this recruitment. A normal day in the life of a panel member is to arrive at 8:00 a.m. with the first hour consisting of training, and depart at 5:30 p.m.
Each panel will consist of three members, (a sworn member of the Oakland Police Department, a City of Oakland employee and a community member). To qualify, one must live, work or be a business owner in Oakland.
For more information, please contact Officer Wendy Rae at [email protected] or (510) 238-3339.
