"Newsom Deploys 120 CHP Officers to Combat Rising Crime in Oakland"

California Governor Gavin Newsom is deploying 120 California Highway Patrol officers to Oakland and the surrounding area to address a surge in crime, including vehicle theft, retail theft, and violent crime. The move comes as crime rates in Oakland have increased disproportionately compared to other urban centers in California, prompting businesses like In-N-Out and Denny's to close their Oakland locations. Newsom described the situation as "alarming and unacceptable" and emphasized the need to restore a sense of safety for the city's residents.
