Last year, our emergency and disaster preparedness reporter Wren Farrell made a series on a non-police response program in Oakland.
It’s called MACRO, the Mobile Assistance Community Responders of Oakland. One of Wren’s main takeaways was that it was difficult to integrate the program into Oakland’s 911 dispatch center. Earlier this spring, a few months after Wren’s series aired, MACRO’S direct phone number went live. He joins me for an update on how it’s going.
How to Reach MACRO: Phone: (510) 44 MACRO | (510) 446-2276
