What exactly does Measure NN fund?

Measure NN improves public safety in Oakland by renewing and enhancing an existing public safety measure. It is a prudent, data-driven plan that will focus on reduction of violent crime through supporting more community police officers, first responders, proven violence prevention programs and programs for vulnerable youth.

Specific investments include:

• Increased emergency response and first responder investments to improve 911 response times in every neighborhood.
• Additional community police officers
• Enhanced intervention programs like Ceasefire to reduce gun violence and focus on violent crime, robberies, and break-ins.
• Proven community-based programs that keep our youth out of jail and off the streets, including job training, high school graduation assistance and mental health services.
