Today marks one of the most tragic days in the history of the Oakland Police Department — indeed, in the history of law enforcement.
Three years ago today, four Officers from the Oakland Police Department were murdered by a paroled felon and rape suspect.
Today we remember Sergeant Mark Dunakin, Sergeant Daniel Sakai, Sergeant Ervin Romans, and Officer John Hege.
Today, the Oakland Police Officers Association will unveil a new memorial sign to be placed along the 580 Interstate on the Keller Avenue overpass. Today, a special ceremony will be held at OPD Headquarters for the families and friends of the fallen four.
Today, we remember these men who made the ultimate sacrifice— in their memory.
