Ann Arbor Mayor John Hieftje credited his newly hired police chief for mitigating attacks on Muslims after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.^[12] Oates oversaw the emergency and fire department in addition to the police department.^[8] Due to budget concerns, Oates reduced the size of Ann Arbor's fire and police departments by 20%.^[10] At the same time he helped reduce the violent crime rate by 24%.^[10] Hieftje also noted that his straightforward management style was an asset to the department.^[12] In August 2002, Oates became Ann Arbor's first Safety Services Administrator.

Oates left Ann Arbor and became the police chief in Aurora, Colorado, in 2005 after the former chief, Ricky Bennett, was demoted for his department's failure to stop Brent J.

Oates is currently teaching an online course in Constitutional law for Long Island University.^[7]

Oates was the chief of police in Aurora at the time of a mass shooting at the midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises.^[13] In a remark on the booby traps in the suspect's apartment, Oates stated that the apartment was rigged "to kill whoever entered it".^[13] He expanded on this by saying, "It was going to be a police officer...We sure as hell are angry."^[13] When asked about the strength of the case against the alleged shooter, Oates responded, "We will convict him.
