Subject: OPD-U.S. Marshals MOU From: Oakland Police Department Recommendation: Adopt A Resolution Authorizing The City Administrator To Extend The Existing Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) With The United States Marshals Service (USMS) Through September 30, 2031, To Allow The Oakland Police Department (OPD) To Continue Participation In The Northern District Of California Regional Fugitive Taskforce For The Purpose Of Locating And Apprehending Fugitives

Summary

Oakland’s proposed resolution would authorize the City Administrator to extend the Oakland Police Department’s (OPD) Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Marshals Service through September 30, 2031. The agreement allows OPD to continue participating in the Northern District of California Regional Fugitive Task Force, which locates and arrests people with active warrants, particularly those tied to violent crimes and weapons offenses. The task force supplements OPD’s limited fugitive-unit capacity and may reimburse eligible overtime and other expenses. Participating officers must follow federal, state, and Oakland policies, including rules on use of force, body cameras, bias-free policing, and sanctuary protections. OPD must continue annual reporting to the Privacy Advisory Commission and City Council.
