A Statement on the Derek Chauvin verdict from Oakley Police Chief Dean Capelletti:![]()
![]()
The Oakley Police Department is aware of the recent court ruling in the trial of Derek Chauvin and understands that regardless of the verdict; there will be those that disagree with the court’s decision. WE stand united with our community against excessive force in policing and were also appalled when first seeing what transpired in Minneapolis. That is not who WE, the Oakley Police Department are. That is not how WE, the Oakley Police Department train. WE would never tolerate or accept abusive behavior from our officers. ![]()
WE value your support and work constantly to build our alliance with you – Our Community.

The National Prescription Drug Take- Back Initiative aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. Unused medicines left in home cabinets are highly susceptible to misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. ![]()
