This crackdown has seen drugs, weapons and dangerous illegal e-bikes taken off the streets. We know these offences are ones that our communities care about, and they want to see officers taking robust action.

Reifschneider said he tries to think about a moment when he helped someone, even if it's something mundane like pulling up behind a driver who ran out of gas. He's encouraged his fellow police officers to also reflect on a good deed.

In 2023, a report from the Police Executive Research Forum called for police to put the brakes on car chases unless a violent crime has been committed and the suspect poses an imminent threat. The report noted a spike in fatalities and an increase in pursuits by some departments, including in Houston and New York City.

"Sorry, we thought you were someone else," one of the men in camo says, as the resident screams at them for ambushing him with guns drawn.

According to former burglar turned security consultant Michael Fraser, who spent years breaking into homes before turning his life around, these seemingly innocent habits are exactly what professionals look for. "Most people have no idea they're broadcasting an empty house," he told me during a recent interview. "They think they're being careful, but they're actually creating a roadmap." After speaking with several security experts and reformed burglars, I discovered that the things we do without thinking often create the perfect opportunity for break-ins.

Speaking at a press conference at OPD headquarters Tuesday morning, Beere said additional officers will be stationed around Lake Merritt, the Uptown and downtown commercial corridor along Broadway, and the 18th Street and Telegraph Avenue area.

The substation will serve as a space where police personnel, community service officers, and parking enforcement staff can meet and interact with residents and business communities, said Antioch Public Information Officer Jaden Baird. Teams and work groups will also be able to use the space for breaks, meetings, and operational needs, Baird told this news organization.
