Oakland Invests Big In Violence Prevention Department The city’s Department of Violence Prevention will receive $17 million across the next two years in an effort to combat steeply rising rates of homicides and violent crimes. But making significant changes will take time. July 19, 2021 •  (TNS) A small Oakland, Calif., department that until recently had few resources is now central to the city s effort to fight a resurgent homicide rate and reduce other violent crimes. Oakland created the Department of Violence Prevention in 2017, but the department lacked substantial funding and leadership. In 2019, the city hired a respected anti-violence expert to head the agency, but it wasn t until June that officials directed significant resources to it.
