Hello!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful and safe summer! It was great to be out in the community and meet many of you in person at recent community events. This was my first National Night Out in American Canyon. It was absolutely amazing and rewarding to have all the communities support. I cannot begin to explain how much your officers and I appreciate it. If you did not participate in National Night Out this year, talk with your neighbors to see how you can be a part of the awesome event next year.

As we all know, school starts back next week on August 18th, and it will be in-person as well. This is exciting news for the students and parents. It has been a long road with virtual learning challenges for students, parents, and school staff. I want to remind everyone to please be cautious when driving, especially during school drop-offs and pickups. It has been quite a while since we have had students walking to and from school and had the extra vehicle traffic during the mornings and afternoon. Please slow down and abide by the speed limit in school zones and on all roadways. Look for students in crosswalks as they have the right-of-way and trust that you see them.

We will have students attending the brand new Napa Junction Elementary school next week. On the first day of school, I will have officers present to help with traffic flows around Eucalyptus and Wetland Edge roadways. Please be patient with one another and respect the rules of the road. Respectfully, Rick Greenberg Police Chief
