"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

He had not spoken up until now, he said, because \"the decisions were being made by my bosses.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> Asking to be quoted as Anthony Batts -- rather than as the chief of police -- Batts said the July layoffs of 80 officers were \"a horrendous decision,\" adding, \"The police department cannot be seen as a pariah, with no support, sitting out there by itself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> ...As to his future, Batts said in a news release, \"I have not made a final decision as to my future with this agency. It still needs to be determined if I am a fit for the city of Oakland's vision for the future.\" In an interview, he added, \"I work my butt off. Unless there's support on all sides, there's no need for me to be here.\" \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In early February, the OPD announced Batts was staying, quoting him as \"ready to roll up his sleeves and get back to work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I was told Oakland residents were looking for a strong, visible leader to engage the community and reduce violent crime. My goal was to help rebuild a once proud, professional department, geared toard crime reduction and community service. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With this goal in mind, rather than a chief managing a diverse department of law enforcement professionals making the streets of Oakland safe, I found myself with limited control, but full accountability. The landscape has changed radically over the past two years and with new and different challenges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Police Department has many diligent and hard-working employees. I have observed tremendous work ethic from professional staff and sworn staff alike. You have made me very proud to be a part of this team, and the OPD rich tradition and legacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I ask that all of you continue to stand tall and proud during these very trying times. You are not thanked nor praised enough for what you produce with such little resources and equipment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, never forget the only reason we exist is to serve the community and residents of Oakland in the way that they wish for us to serve them. This may necessitate change on our part, to look forward and not to the past.

While I am confident that chief Batts will take on new and prestigious opportunities, I regret that I will not be able to continue to work with him on our mutual goal of improved community policing and full compliance with the Negotiated Settlement Agreement (NSA).
