Neighborhood Watch Newsletter May 2024

Hello,

As we enter the vibrant summer season, I'm pleased to highlight some key points from the American Canyon Police Department.

Officers of the Year Award: It is with great pride that I announce this year's Officers of the Year Award recipients, Officers Cassie Fallon and Keoni Piceno. Their unwavering dedication, professionalism, and commitment to our community have set a high standard for their peers. This prestigious award, presented on April 27th at the city-sponsored community recognition ball, is a testament to their outstanding service. Please join me in congratulating them.

Summer Crime Safety Tips: With the warmer months upon us, it's crucial for all of us to remain vigilant against potential threats. Remember, your actions play a vital role in maintaining the safety of our community. So, please lock your doors and windows when leaving home, avoid leaving valuables in plain sight in your vehicles, and promptly report any suspicious activity to the authorities. Remember - See Something, Say Something! Call (707) 253-4451 to alert us.

Traffic Safety: As our children begin to enjoy their summer break, let's remember the importance of traffic safety. Please adhere to speed limits, be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists, and obey all traffic signs and signals to ensure a safe environment for everyone.

DARE Graduations at Local Elementary Schools: Our commitment to nurturing positive relationships with our youth is exemplified by the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program. Graduations, marking the completion of this invaluable program, will be held at local elementary schools. This program equips students with the knowledge and skills to make healthy choices and resist peer pressure, and we are proud to celebrate their achievements.

In closing, I want to express my gratitude to the entire community for your ongoing support. Together, we can ensure that American Canyon remains a safe and thriving place for all.

Respectfully,

Rick Greenberg
Chief of Police
