Anthony Batts will lead the Oakland (Calif.) PD into a new era, when he assumes the top job in October of a department that has been in the news in 2009. Batts spoke with POLICE Magazine about his plans to upgrade technology, improve patrol morale, and bring additional resources to a department that has announced budget cuts and is still grieving from the loss of four officers who were killed pursuing a desperate parolee in March. Batts arrives from Long Beach, Calif., a city with similar demographics, where crime fell in six of his seven years as chief.
