III. MISSION

The Oakland Police Department, with the assistance of other City Departments and outside law enforcement agencies, will
conduct crowd management and apply the appropriate level of direction and control to:
Protect Life
Protect Property
Protect Vital Facilities
Maintain Public Peace and Order
Uphold Constitutional Rights of Free Speech and Assembly.
On the day of the verdict announcement and until mission complete, OPD Mobile Field Forces (MFF) and other mutual aid law
enforcement agencies shall be deployed at locations surrounding FOP. Units will be deployed as needed to maintain order,
preserve public safety, protect life and property, ensure the flow of commerce, as well as facilitate the right to protest through the
City of Oakland and FOP. When deployed, Mobile Field Forces may engage in traffic control, crowd control, crowd dispersal,
and arrests as necessary. If enforcement action is taken, it will be taken in a controlled and well-coordinated manner, under the
direction and control of the appropriate command and supervisory personnel.

IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

A. Incident Commanderís Intent

On the day of the verdict announcement and until mission complete, OPD Mobile Field Forces (MFF) and other mutual aid law
enforcement agencies shall be deployed at locations surrounding FOP. Units will be deployed as needed to maintain order,
preserve public safety, protect life and property, ensure the flow of commerce, as well as facilitate the right to demonstrate
through the City of Oakland and FOP. When deployed, Mobile Field Forces may engage in traffic control, crowd control, crowd
dispersal, and arrests as necessary.
The Oakland Police Department, with the assistance of other City Departments and outside law enforcement agencies, will
conduct crowd management and apply the appropriate level of direction and control to:
Protect Life
Protect Property
Protect Vital Facilities
Maintain Public Peace and Order
Uphold Constitutional Rights of Free Speech and Assembly.

When persons cannot be persuaded from unlawful or disruptive conduct, the appropriate level of enforcement shall be used to
restore order. Command and supervisory personnel will respond in a timely manner with sufficient resources to establish crowd
management/control and to maintain order but will avoid engaging in situations they cannot control. Units shall maintain
maximum flexibility, being able to disengage from less acute situations to provide support to more critical incidents.

B. Arrest Procedures in Major Crowd Situations

Where a criminal act occurs within a large crowd, efforts shall be made to identify the suspect(s) for arrest(s). Commanders
shall consider the safety of officers and bystanders in their decision to move into a crowd to make an arrest. Where necessary,
a Tango Team may be deployed to make an arrest. Tango/arrest teams will be equipped with sufficient protective gear, chemical
agents and impact munitions to complete the arrest or rescue.

Individual arrests shall comply with Departmental policies and procedures. Juveniles shall be separated from adult offenders
and processed in accordance with Departmental policy. Arrest teams shall be responsible for completing and submitting a
separate supplemental report documenting each arrest at the conclusion of the operation.

In the event of riotous behavior, Commanders should evaluate and determine when and how the crowd should be dispersed.
The Commander will give or direct the dispersal order, ensuring that it is heard and documented.

C. Use of Force in Major Crowd Situations

Departmental General Order K-3 applies. The deployment of chemical agents and less-lethal munitions shall be at the direction
of the Mobile Field Force (MFF) Commander or in his absence a commander on the scene. If an Unlawful Assembly (407 PC) is
declared and a dispersal order (409 PC), and persons refuse to leave, second warning(s), if feasible, shall be made prior to the
use of chemical agents or less-lethal munitions, allowing persons another opportunity to leave voluntarily.

Dispersal and chemical agent plans will be developed and approved by the MFF Commander, or in his absence, a Commander
on the scene prior to movement and specific to the problems presented. Officers shall make an effort to arrest suspects when
force is used to gain compliance. All uses of force shall be reported in accordance with existing policy. Use of specialty impact
munitions shall not be indiscriminant nor used to disperse a non-violent crowd. Absent exigent circumstances, such deployment
shall occur at the direction of a commander or supervisor.

D. Reporting/Evidence Collection

In the event a major crowd disturbance occurs, each member involved in the major crowd disturbance operation shall complete
a Supplemental Report documenting his or her activities and observations during the course of the operation. Individual
members are required to document each use of force. Members using specialty impact munitions shall account for and report to
their supervisor, each individual use of force and document such in a supplemental report. Supervisors shall be responsible for
collecting the reports and submitting them as a complete package to their respective commander. In the event of a major crowd
disturbance use of force, the Commander shall designate a Sergeant(s) to investigate and document the uses of force and
collect all reports. Commanders shall ensure each Use of Force Report is forwarded to the Incident Commander.

Commanders shall ensure that, in the event of a criminal act, an arrest, or any deployment of gas or specialty impact munitions,
all involved personnel and their immediate supervisor(s) complete the appropriate report (crime report, supplemental report,
etc.). Officers shall document specific acts of the individuals, list witnesses, and take witness statements when appropriate.

The recovery of physical evidence shall be the responsibility of every member. Supervisors shall ensure that their assigned
personnel collect, document, package, and catalog relevant physical evidence. The supervisor of the officers involved shall
ensure the proper reports are assigned and completed. When more than one team is involved, the Commander will designate a
supervisor as responsible for the completion of the relevant report. Sergeants shall also review arrests as required by policy.

E. Air Support

The OPD and law enforcement mutual aid air support will be available for this event. The OPD helicopter has been outfitted with
a live video feed downlink. The video downlink feed will be visible to the MFF commander via internet laptop within the
command post. Other mutual aid law enforcement airborne assets are available through request into the Air Operations

Donít think we need this section here.


We will have a Quick Reaction Force to do this. Should we leave Tango out of this??.
I want to say their start time will be 1000 hours.
I will make the request, but Dave should coordinate where they go when they get there
Will we need a staging manager?
We will also have the Secret Service. They work with the A side starting at 1100. And should be with a MFF commander.
14th and Clay needed to stop E/B traffic.
Donít think we need this one.
Confirm Jefferson to Clay on 11th?
Aside from fixed posts, we will need officers (mutual aid) providing high visibility in other down town locations. These will not be
fixed post units.
Wont a MFF parallel on either side? Will we ask for mutual aid motors or even our own to create a second bubble to allow the
MFF to move?
West or South at what point? As soon as the leave 14th and Bwy? Should we simply state they will be channeled away from
approaching freeway on/off ramps? In the event marchers attempt to enter freeway entrances, OPD and CHP MFF will be
tasked with preventing access.
We should suspend Stop Data reporting requirements for officers in MFF.
