Message from the Chief of Police

We hope to see you all at our Neighborhood Watch Meeting this month. April is behind us and a good benchmark to review the first months of the calendar year to see if there are any trends and prepare ourselves for the summer months. All in all, it was a good month in terms of overall crime and public safety. Our arrest statistics remain consistent with prior years and our vehicle and residential burglaries are actually down compared to this time last year.

As part of neighborhood watch, we welcome calls from our residents when something looks suspicious or out of place. Our officers are out patrolling but when we are partnered with the eyes and ears of our residents we are more successful at preventing crime.

In April, we got to say goodbye and congratulations to Officer Schultz, who retired at the end of the April after serving 22 years in the City of American Canyon. We welcomed back a familiar face, Sgt. Matlock, who worked here as a K9 handler 10 years ago, and welcomed a new face, Officer Galindo, who graduated from the Police Academy last fall.

All of our ACPD officers underwent several hours of training in April on topics including DUI enforcement related to marijuana impairment, Case Law updates, Juvenile Detention laws, Drug Endangered Children training, among other topics.

We also graduated several classrooms of 5th graders from Canyon Oaks Elementary School who participated in DARE curriculum, with plans for more graduations from other schools in May. DARE is a great program that addresses the decision making process, consequences, bullying, and health education topics, taught by specially trained ACPD officers.

We are always a call away. Please do not hesitate to call dispatch to report suspicious activity or people (707) 253-4451 (save this number in your cell phone).

Stop by our office at 911 Donaldson Way East or call us anytime at 551-0600 with questions or general concerns. Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook for day-to-day updates, news, and messages.

Sincerely,

Oscar Ortiz

Police Chief
