""These allegations in the reporting are concerning," said Mayor Lee in a statement. "I'm aware that OPD is investigating this matter, and I will be in close contact with the department to review the findings.""
""His name is likely on more traffic fatality reports than almost anyone in this city - not because he sits behind a desk, but because he shows up, again and again, when lives are lost and accountability is required. The Oaklandside story barely scratches the surface of the work he does to protect this city, its residents, and businesses.""
""wanted to give another officer the opportunity to serve and gain experience as a union leader.""
An Oakland police officer received $490,000 in overtime while the department lacked records tracking the officer's activities. The Oakland Police Department opened an internal investigation into the matter. Mayor Barbara Lee said the allegations are concerning and that she will be in close contact with the department to review the findings. Lt. Dolan's photo and name were removed from the Oakland Police Officers Association website; he had served as vice president and the elected position is now filled by Lt. Omar Daza-Quiroz. Union spokesperson Sam Singer said Dolan chose not to run for reelection to give another officer experience. OPOA president Huy Nguyen defended Dolan and said he works mandatory sideshow operations, wrote the city's sideshow policing policy, trains newly hired officers, and is a subject matter expert on traffic and sideshow enforcement.
