For those of you who are NOT familiar with the area. Eastmont Oakland Police Department is located in the Eastmont Mall.

This is the address:
2651 73rd Avenue
Oakland, CA 94605
-- If you Google map & street view, you can see the surrounding building. --

There are TWO levels of parking, if you accidentally enter through lower level parking, go straight & you will end up in the upper level parking, just go past McDonald's. Be careful and not go into the drive thru unless you want to.

For those coming from I-580 E&W:
I'm unsure of the exit, but when you arrive on 73rd Ave., everything will be on your right. For upper level parking, enter BEFORE McDonald's, for lower level parking enter AFTER Oakland Police Department building. Just follow the pictures.

For those coming from I-880 N&S:
Police department is on the LEFT right before McDonald's.

For the lower level it will be on the 1st left after the light:





For the UPPER level, it will be on the 1st left right after McDonald's:

 

il be there

 

Matthew 5:9

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God"


Psalm 144

Blessed [be] the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, [and] my fingers to fight:
My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and [he] in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

Love, sorrows, joy, and prayers to the officers and their families.

 

Im should be there

 

A group of us SA will be there...

 

We will definitely be there tonight, wouldn't dream of being anywhere else.

Brad honey we are here for you. I can't imagine your pain right now, but we are all here to be shoulders of strength for you.

 

i'll be leaving the house bout 4pm.....everyone is more than welcomed to meet up and roll out

 

My heart goes out to you from the east coast. I would love to be there if I could. I lost a best friend who was a police officer last year.

God bless those officers and their families.

 

thanks to all that came........

 

Minus one small group of people who felt the need to voice their displeasure at something completely unrelated... it was a wonderful event. I don't think there were any dry eyes around and the warmth and love that the residents of Oakland showed made me much less hesitant to return to Oakland. Hopefully the healing will begin. For those who are interested the funeral service is open to the public on Friday at the Coliseum.

 

BRAD WE LOVE YOU!!! Whether or not all of us were there at the lighting vigil, we are here to support you & other fellow officers.

 

Thank you for posting this Jacki!! As soon as I can figure out how to get the photos off my phone, I have 2 non blurry photos. One of the lineup of Police motorcycles, and a good lineup of the drum lineup.
