‘No rule of law’: Defund movement in this town was a ‘dismal failure’ that lead to more crime and lawlessness

The Oakland 911 dispatch system has failed twice since last Thursday.

The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services’ standards mandate 90% of 911 calls should be answered in 15 seconds or less. Oakland police, in the first three months of 2023, answered only 55% of calls in 15 seconds or less.
