PSA 4 sergeants and officers working on the afternoon shift (2 p.m. to midnight) and those working on the midnight shift (9 p.m. to 7 a.m.) no longer report to Police Service Area (PSA) Commander Lieutenant Breshears. These sergeants/officers are under the direct supervision of the Watch Commander (captain) and his two lieutenants. Therefore, if you have issues that are occurring on the afternoon or midnight shifts, or questions regarding police response on the afternoon or midnight shifts, you should do the following:
- Afternoon shift (watch) (2 p.m. to Midnight): Send an email to Captain Frank Lowe: flowe@oaklandnet.com and Lieutenant Brian Thiem: BeThiem@oaklandnet.com
- Midnight shift (watch) (9 p.m. to 7 a.m.): Send an email to Captain Dennis Shinn: dshinn@oaklandnet.com, Lieutenant J. Denson: jdenson@oaklandnet.com and Lieutenant William Dorsey: wdorsey@oaklandnet.com.
A copy of the emails should also be sent to PSA Commander Lieutenant Breshears at: ecbreshears@oaklandnet.com. His office is located at the Eastmont Mall Station (7200 Bancroft). His number is 777-8521. Although Lieutenant Breshears only works directly with the PSA 4 Crime Reduction Team (CRT), the problem solving officers (PSO), walking officers, the Neighborhood Services Coordinators (NSC) and the sergeants and officers that work day shift (7 a.m. to 5 p.m.), he is responsible for the overall coordination of PSA priorities/issues with the other commanders.
The captains and lieutenants on these watches are expected to support PSA/NCPC priorities as time permits. When you send an email to these captains and lieutenants you should expect that they minimally forward the emails or communicate the issues to the patrol sergeants and officers working in the area. It is difficult to reach these commanders by phone; however, a message can be left at 238-3414.
