WEAPONS OFFENSE

On 03/11/2026, at approximately 3:32 PM, the Yakima Police Department responded to the area of Custer Ave. and W. Lincoln Ave. after 911 received a call from an adult female advising two adult males had pointed a handgun at her and her son.

Officers quickly obtained a description of a vehicle being driven by the suspects. Through video footage obtained of the vehicle, along with the use of FLOCK cameras, officers were able to obtain a license plate for the suspect vehicle. After identifying the suspect vehicle, officers from the YPD PROACT unit located the suspect vehicle in the area of Summitview Ave. and N. 16th Ave. Multiple subjects were detained and ultimately two adult males were arrested for their involvement in the incident.

This incident is believed to be gang-related and the investigation is on-going. A subsequent search of the suspect vehicle pursuant to a search warrant yielded two firearms, one of which was stolen.

FLOCK cameras for the win...

Maybe with the Flock cameras, we can reduce the number of officers or atleast detectives needed since they find the subjects.

i was curious what was going on there i drove by when it happened

Another fine example of how Flock cameras are not being used to target law abiding citizens. If anything these cameras can help protect law abiding citizens from some of the safety and security hazards in their neighborhoods.

Great job officers !

Flock cameras save the day

This is why we need flock cameras. Thank you YPD

Great response time! Good job YPD & Yes for flock cameras

Nice catch officers

I wonder what demographic

Malissa Sobieski this is what happened yesterday

Good work!๐Ÿ‘

Go Proact!

Good job YPD. Thank you FLOCK cameras. Good job catching the punks.

Thank you officers

there's no obscene gesture by her and that's to the Washington State Patrol is a scam alert and also fraud and trying to be-friend someone and she knows they're not related and that she's the prime s8spec't w/ her known accomplices and making excuses, she already tried to make a false claim that isn't true. She also doesn't have her own family and is very bad about her boundaries and trespasses on someone else's streets and she knows she's not from there. She's asking for her out and won't be cooperative.

Flock cameras are anti American, ypd is gonna use every story to highlight flock cameras but surely they won't give all the details that entail all of that. Probably over hyping the cameras, and expect them to use that tactic. We are not the UK!!!

Good job ypd get them punks off the street

Natalie Ellis Angie Olivio wtf

So very sad๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™The Of­­­­fic­­­­er rele­­­­ased a vi­­­­deo Police activity

Still not worth the invasion of privacy of Flock cameras. They're anti-American. "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

Lock em up. Yakima folks carry, when a crook comes to your door blast that motha fucka

NEWS RELEASE - ANIMA

NEWS RELEASE - ANIMAL CRUELTY

On March 5th, 2026, Yakima Police and Community Service Officers were dispatched to a report of a male harming an animal (puppy) as he walked in the area of North Naches Avenue and East Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The male and the puppy were quickly located and identified by officers.

YPD CSO's were able to gather information from witnesses and video footage. Based on the information, patrol officers located and arrested the male. He was booked into the Yakima City Jail on charges of animal cruelty in the second degree. The puppy is now in the care of the Yakima Humane Society.

We would like to thank the witnesses who called 911 and the business that provided video footage to assist in the investigation. Without the help of our community members, cases like this are much more difficult to move forward. Our YPD Community Service Officers take reports of animal cruelty seriously and are grateful for the continued partnership with the community.

Good job๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Well done!

Boyle emphasized the need to "continually be paying attention to our budget, paying attention to resources". How much did these classes cost the city taxpayers? Considering there are many free trainings avalible for police officers within this state ๐Ÿค”
