The incident involved a male and female. She fired several shots, hitting no one. She is now in custody and charges are pending.

It would not be professional for me to recommend an alarm company. I would suggest you contact your local chamber of commerce or Better Business Bureau to determine which alarm company is best suited for your needs.

Safeway was not robbed, the Bank inside Safeway was. The incident is under investigation and some leads are being followed up on. Other than this I can not elaborate any further since it is a pending investigation.

ACPD Brownlee

I will need to know alittle more information to research this for you. What date did it occur and about what time? As for releasing the person's name, it may not be public record for several reasons. But usually items worthy of the press are covered by local newspapers.

ACPD Brownlee

If the items you listed are occurring and you feel that you should call the police, THEN CALL.... Your first instinct is usually the best.

As for the scooter, yes you have listed several violations in your description, and there may be more violations occurring; like the need to have a valid ...

From what I understand that evening Vallejo Police was in pursuit of a person known locally and the pursuit ended in that area. The suspect fled on foot and was apprehended a short time later and is still in custody… As for the gate, if it needs repair, I believe you can contact Vallejo Police (648 ...

As far as I know there are no abandoned lots within the city. There is an area in the northern portion of Napa Couty owned by BLM and open to the public for such uses. The area is Knoxville and can be found at the north end of Napa County on Knoxville Berryessa Road, about 30 minutes past Lake ...

Sorry for the damage to your house. As for the dog, I do not know of any Penal Law that says you have to have the signs, but what you are talking about is Civil Law, which police officers don’t have much experience with. We deal with mostly criminal violations, not civil violations such as getting ...

Wired,

Since I do not know where in the city your residence is, I will have to hazard a guess as to the noise that is disturbing you. If like the other poster replied it is during the fall/winter months and about sunrise, then I too would say it is the waterfowl hunters in the Fish and Game area ...

I wasn't on duty that evening, but I looked at the Shift Log and noticed there was a suicide attempt about this time. More than likely the medical response was staging, awaiting for the police to arrive, before the medics could enter that type of scene. Typically medical personnel will not enter a ...

Sorry Issa, I mustn't have been clear about the type of announcement. The letter is a traditional letter and with it is a check payable to the "lottery winner". The check and letter of course are frauds.

Why limit it to just two entries? I feel this is something that should be open to the entire community and even surrounding communities. If it is open to all, then you have more people at the festival

ACPD Brownlee

I have one. Combine the festival in the park with a chili or maybe a Bar-B-Que cook off.

A few years ago Yountville had a chili cook off and it was a good family day.

Neo,

I personally can not speak for what each officer at ACPD does or why they drive down certain streets. Usually they are just passing through a neighborhood and use certain streets since they are major streets, which are also used by other motorsts.

ACPD Brownlee

Issa, it’s hard to tell exactly what you are referring to but if I get your question right, you are referring to an intersection which is controlled by lights. There is a sign on a near by pole or post that instructs you to stop here (arrow pointing down or close by). This sign is meant to have you ...

Officers and civilians often use that term "routine traffic stop" but in reality there is no such thing. One of the most dangerous things we do on a daily basis is making a traffic stop.
