Oakland is a charter city.Oakland's territory covers what was once a mosaic of California coastal terrace prairie, oak woodland, and north coastal scrub. Its land served as a rich resource when its hillside oak and redwood timber were logged to build San Francisco. Oakland's fertile flatland soils helped it become a prolific agricultural region. In the late 1860s, Oakland was selected as the western terminal of the Transcontinental Railroad. Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, many San Francisco citizens moved to Oakland, enlarging the city's population, increasing its housing stock, and improving its infrastructure. It continued to grow in the 20th century with its busy port, shipyards, and a thriving automobile manufacturing industry.

The municipal security guards (German: Gemeindesicherheitswachen) existing in about 40 Austrian municipalities are police forces besides the Austrian Federal Police. They may also be called city security guard (Städtische Sicherheitswache), municipal police (Gemeindepolizei), local police (Ortspolizei) or city police (Stadtpolizei).

The larger of these forces form municipal guard corps (Gemeindewachkörper; official translation: municipal constabularies) with competences equal to the Federal Police. Some municipalities including most statutory cities are not allowed to maintain a guard corps.
