Statement from OPD on the Release of Tyre Nichols Video
The women and men of the Oakland Police Department are deeply troubled and disturbed by the released video involving Tyre Nichols and members of the Memphis Police Department.
We stand with our community in denouncing this incident and all incidents of police brutality. Those who engage in this type of behavior have no place in our profession.
Community trust and confidence are essential to police legitimacy. This incident impacts us all in law enforcement and throughout our Nation.
To our community, the incident in Memphis is painful, however, it does not represent the women and men of the Oakland Police Department.
The members of the Oakland Police Department are committed to building trust and strengthening community relationships. We train our officers to uphold the values of fairness, dignity, and respect.
We extend our deepest condolences to Tyre Nichols’ family and community.
