Neighborhood Crime Prevention Councils (NCPCs)

NCPCs are made up of Oakland residents working in partnership with the Oakland Police Department and other city agencies to address ongoing problems in their neighborhoods. Your local NCPC corresponds to the police beat you live in.

Havenscourt spans four police beats: 27Y, 29X, 30X and 30Y. Most residents live in 30X or 27Y. Find out which beat you live in to get your NCPC contacts and meeting dates.
