As a life long resident of East Oakland, graduating from Howard Elementary School, King Estates Junior High School and Castlemont High School, I know about the challenges of our youth in the Oakland Public Schools as it relates to the Oakland Police Department’s interaction with our youth. When I attended Oakland Public School, what I know is Police policing our children can help and/or hurt our children. Our police MUST be trained to address the social needs of our children while providing a safe neighborhood/community environment. Police should not willfully or unknowingly damage a child’s future to become successful. After graduating from Castlemont High School in 1980, I attended San Francisco State University for three years while working part time at United Parcel Service(UPS). In 1983, decided to leave college and work full time at UPS. Worked my way up from a trailer loader/unloaded to driver and then was promoted to a driver transportation supervisor. Left UPS in 1990. Earn my teaching credential to start and teach a driver training and transportation program at the College of Alameda. Under President Clinton’s welfare to work program, successfully prepared and trained many people to work in the transportation industry! My dad and I started a land abatement company in 1994. In 2002, earned my California State Contractor’s License, General B. In 2010 was selected to be a subcontractor on the demolition and replacement of the Highland Hospital project. What prepared me to do all these things, was having parents that instilled in me that a CLEAN RECORD was required, especially for me, an African-American/Black Man. If selected to become a Police Commissioner, I will be an asset to help reduce the excessive and/or over policing in Oakland neighborhoods/communities, while insuring that all young children have a fair chance of a clean record and become responsible tax paying citizens. To do the above, our Oakland Police Department must understand the consequences of bad past police practices on our children and in our neighborhoods/communities. Also, how to deal with our young people moving forward. Thank you for the opportunity to make a positive change in the city that has been and is my family. Art Douglas Blacksher
