Oakland's 911 system was back in service Friday, city officials said, after an interruption that was criticized by the Oakland Police Officers' Association.
"Technical issues affecting the City of Oakland's 911 dispatch services were effectively resolved Friday afternoon and, as of 5 p.m., all emergency calls are being received and dispatched as normal," the city said in a social media post.
Backup generators went down after a power failure on Thursday, and the city's 911 system crashed. The 911 system could not be restarted even after power was restored, the police union said."Police officers, dispatchers, and even the county grand jury all warned this would happen," OPOA president Barry Donelan said in a statement.
The police union cited an Alameda County Civil Grand Jury report released last month that warned that Oakland's 911 system was facing"imminent collapse.""The same folks in IT who have gave us the ransomware and the terrible response to it are the ones responding to this so inherently we have little confidence of them actually getting is fixed," Donelan added.
