COMMUNITY SAFETY
At the Oakland Chinatown Improvement Council (OCIC), community safety is one of our highest priorities. We work hand-in-hand with the City of Oakland, the Oakland Police Department (OPD), MACRO, and local groups like the Toishan Benevolent Association to help keep our neighborhood safe. Through daily walks and active reporting, our community comes together to support a safer, more welcoming Chinatown for everyone.
