About the Montclair Safety & Improvement Council (MSIC)

The MSIC was formed in 2003 by a group of concerned citizens in the greater Monclair area, in conjunction with the Oakland Police Department to improve the quality of life in our area by promoting a variety of safety and lifestyle enhancements to our community.

Officially recognized as a Neighborhood Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) by the Oakland Police Department, the MSIC is funded in part from an OPD annual grant. Donations from concerned citizens, as well as proceeds from the sale of safety and improvement materials offered through the MSIC, make up the operating funds for our work.

Membership
The MSIC is a community organization. As such all adult residents (over 18 years of age) and businesses in Oakland Police Beat 13Z, as well as all neighborhood and community organizations sensitive to community needs and interests in Beat 13Z, are eligible to be qualified voting members.

Public Community Meetings
Community meetings for all resident in the greater Montclair area are scheduled on a regular basis so you can provide us with their areas of concern and we can provide guidance and support in resolving issues with City representatives. One of these meetings is considered an annual meeting for the Council. A quorum of the Council consists of at least twenty (20) residents of the greater Montclair Village area, and all qualified residents have a vote on matters presented by the Steering Committee. See our Calendar of Events for the next scheduled community meeting. To view the Minutes from past meetings click here.
