@RepSwalwell
St. John’s Church in San Lorenzo. Thank you for the kind words about the incredible work our deputies do each and every day.
The notion that black people cannot be black & cops is ridiculous. Some protestors are targeting our black deputies w/verbal abuse riddled with hate & inhumanity. People of color are needed and desired in this profession as much as any other. Diversity is important for change.
Thank you to the newly released inmate who stole our jail golf cart and drove it to the local shopping center. We found it in one piece. We know you didn’t want to walk the 3 blocks. We are looking to give you a ride back to our jail again.
Very courageous work by
@GilroyPD
and Santa Clara County First Responders and medical professionals. They saved many lives today. Our hearts ache for those who lost loved ones.
Sheriff Ahern- “As a dog owner, this case disturbed me, my agency and the community. I directed our investigators to pursue all leads. I’m glad to see Tito is now reunited with his family. Thank you to our Detectives and Community Members for supporting this effort.”
This little seal decided to pay a visit to
@IFlyOAKland
this morning. We are not sure where he was trying to go but likely a flight to Hawaii. He was very cooperative and deputies coaxed him back to the bay where he is safe.
Today, at around 8:50 a.m., an Alameda Co. judge was robbed of his Rolex, wallet, and other personal effects at gunpoint after he exited his vehicle at the ALCO Park garage at 13th St/Madison St in Oakland. We are happy to report the judge was not injured.
Today we celebrated the life of Deputy Sheriff Aubrey Phillips. She was laid to rest with full law enforcement honors. She is remembered as an amazing woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and law enforcement officer. May she Rest In Eternal Peace 🙏
We are saddened to report that a young ACSO employee was tragically murdered near the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza in a Oakland this evening while driving home from work.

122 people were booked into Santa Rita Jail yesterday. 82 of those individuals were not from Alameda County cities. Several were from outside the region and state.
Here is the dramatic platform video of our humble hero John O'Connor saving a man's life at the Coliseum station Sunday night. John is a Transportation Supervisor and has worked at BART for more than 20 years. An amazing rescue.
Price Gouging: Seeing local markets selling N95 masks for $10 each. A bottle of hand sanatizer for $8. Taking advantage of people is wrong. You will pay a lot more in fines and fees than it’s worth. Our compliance team will forward cases to

HOMICIDE occurred at 4:27pm, intersection of Hesperian Blvd at Lewelling Blvd in San Lorenzo. Possible road rage dispute. Suspect vehicle fled the scene toward 880 Freeway. Detectives working on leads. Intersection is closed so use alternate routes.
We are recovering guns at an alarming rate. This was from a simple traffic stop in San Leandro where all three occupants were armed in the vehicle. Ask any law enforcement agency and they will tell you the same thing. We have a serious gun problems on our streets.
Breaking: Another massive fentanyl bust by Alameda County Law Enforcement. 30.4 lbs of illicit fentanyl, 1 pound of methamphetamine, 6 ounces of crack cocaine and an AR-15 ghost gun.

11am, deputies respond to a report of man with knife who said he was going to harm officers and public. Crisis negotiators engaged man(2 hrs) in a drug induced mental crisis. Deputies used a small UAV drone to distract the man to detain and avoid a lethal encounter. Innovative.
AC ALERT: All Alameda County residents are advised to stay home due to the civil unrest reported throughout Alameda County and the greater East Bay Area. Unless personal travel is necessary, we are recommending residents stay home due to the high number of police actions.
Coronavirus Scam: We had our first scam where victim received a phone call saying loved one had Covid-19 and was in accident on way to hospital. The loved one was arrested for accident and needed $13k bail. Suspect said they would send friend to pick up money. Be aware!
Another “Ghost Gun” seized during a vehicle stop and probation search. 3 suspects in the car. One fled on foot. We will continue to post these gun pictures to show the public how prolific a problem it is.
Tremendous work and commitment by
