OPD Areas
Oakland Police Department (OPD) organizes the city into six Police Areas made up of 35 smaller “beats.” These geographic units are the backbone for patrol deployment, neighborhood engagement, and how OPD slices its statistics.

Area 1 (Beats 1–7): covers Downtown and West Oakland. It’s bounded by Emeryville and Area 2 to the north, Lake Merritt to the east, the Oakland Estuary to the south, and the Bay to the west. The area includes several active business districts—Jack London Square, the downtown core, and the City Hall/Frank Ogawa Plaza area—reflecting a mix of commercial, civic, and residential activity.

Area 2 (Beats 8–13): encompasses Uptown and North Oakland neighborhoods such as Pill Hill, Temescal, and Rockridge. It’s bordered by Emeryville and Berkeley to the west, Contra Costa County to the north, and—on the south and east—Area 1, the City of Piedmont, and Area 3. The district mixes residential blocks with active commercial corridors, including Rockridge, Temescal, Montclair, and Piedmont Avenue.
Area 3 — Lakeshore, Eastlake, Adams Point, Embarcadero
A centrally situated district encompassing the neighborhoods around Lake Merritt and the Embarcadero shoreline.
