On a recent tour of Folsom Prison, I got to see the other side of the public safety equation. The work we do as a police department is front end – finding and arresting those that have committed crimes. We provide the citizens that trust us with an invaluable service – making the community safer. But what happens once they leave our responsibility? What [...]
At the academy, it was not uncommon to have cadets with the best intentions fail out and disappear from academy life. I wasn’t used to being in an environment where people with the best intentions could fail. Either people failed because they quit or because they failed to try. That knowledge planted a seed in [...]
Posted by Jane Officer Michelle, I live in the UC Med Center neighborhood, and late last Monday night I heard what I thought was faint, terror-filled screaming coming from nearby — as if it were coming a crowd of people — but I couldn’t tell from where. I didn’t call the police because I [...]
Posted by Mrolleri I was curious about the police activity last night, Sunday, July 15, around Freeport Blvd and Fruitridge Road. The helicopter was flying around for quite some time. I didn’t hear any sirens, but the loud speaker from the helicpoter was on. Thanks for any info. Dear Mrolleri, I was unable to [...]

I watched the bus [...]
Posted by Cheffy Hi Officer Michelle! I know this is a high crime area, and am curious to know about something I saw today as well. There were about 6 police cars parked in an area near where I asked about in my last post, but closer to 46th off of 14th Ave near Stockton [...]
Posted by Jnemo I would like to know how the cameras on Natomas, Elkhorn Blvd, and East Commerence are being used. Dear Jnemo, Those cameras you see are cameras used to document motorists who run red lights. These cameras are monitored by the Sacramento County Sheriff Department. They have discretion where they are to [...]
Posted by Farmer Dear Officer Michelle, Thank you for your service and I’m sorry to bother you with such a simple problem. On July 14,2007 I received a phone call from 83-319-2157. They said it was Kaiser calling with a message from a doctor and to hear the message I should say “yes”. Well, being a [...]
Posted by Cheffy I was curious to know about a happening on 14th Avenue a few blocks up from Stockton Blvd. last night 7/12. There were about six police cars and maybe as many motorcycles. They seemed to be roping off some streets. This is near our neighborhood and we are curious to know what [...]
Posted by LaAngel Hi Michelle, Frequently I see people toss their cigarette butts out the window on the highway or at the stop light. This really gets under my skin and I often feel like honking my horn to show my frustration. If the individual is driving a company vehicle I always call to report [...]
