Another Oakland company is upping security in light of recent violence.
Sources tell ABC7 News The Clorox Company is giving their employees the option of getting a security escort back to their car, BART, or a location within two blocks.
A security guard at The Clorox Company building in Oakland could be seen walking with an employee to her vehicle on Tuesday night.
“Well honestly I think that’s a good thing given the fact that Oakland after dark it’s a crazy place,” said Victor Quintanilia who works nearby in Oakland.
“I guess you’d say appreciation at least, they’re thinking of the community and their members,” said Jaime Solis who lives nearby.
