Neighborhood Safety/Quarterly Crime Report
We encourage residents and business owners to view the recent video featuring BSO/Oakland Park District Capt. Tammy McNeal discussing the issue of neighborhood safety..
The call to root out systematic racism and reform policy is being heard around the world and here in Broward County.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with Oakland Park and other jurisdictions across the county, is committed to increasing dialogue and transparency in order to have a better understanding of racial discrimination within the criminal justice system. It’s important to openly address these issues and look at how BSO can improve upon the #8CANTWAIT recommendations BSO already meets. Part of that process has already begun with re-integrating a more comprehensive Early Warning System to detect potential behaviors that may cause harm to the public, establishing the first Use-of-Force Review Board in the agency’s history, restructuring the Professional Standards Committee to include more minorities and civilians and offering Racial Equity and Implicit Bias Training program countywide.
