  • Call in to discuss the Oakland PD.

    Hello Spot.Us Community Members!

    An update for our ongoing story: Oakland Police Blues: http://spot.us/pitches/35

    As any Oakland resident knows - the last 4-6 months have been a trying time for the OPD. Our reporter Alex Gronke has been observing it with the intent of producing a piece for Spot.Us and The Oakbook. The piece is still underway. Alex has wisely decided to produce a good piece rather than a rushed one, but we want to keep you involved in the story all the while - which has included little updates like these.

    Here's a chance to here from the reporter directly.

    This Friday at 11am Alex is going to discuss his observations and the reporting process to date. He will be joined by Kwan Booth and Serena Renner. You can join the call as well via Spot.Us' BlogTalkRadio show: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Spotus


    When: 11am PST.

    Where: Blog Talk Radio: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Spotus

    Call in number: (347) 945-5577
    Feel free to join in with questions and suggestions.
    Or let me know if there's anything particular you'd like discussed and I will pass it along.

    Sincerely,
    --
