SUICIDAL SUBJECT
Last night, officers were waved down regarding a suicidal subject in the area of the Nob Hill Overpass. Officers arrived to find a subject holding onto the railing, suspended above the railroad tracks. Officers, along with a couple good Samaritans, grabbed onto the suicidal subject and pulled them to safety. The subject was transported to the hospital for a mental health evaluation. Thank you to the kind community members who stopped to help.

We are relieved this incident did not end in a tragic way. With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, we hope to help bring awareness to the numerous resources our community has to assist those in crisis.

Like our friends at Comprehensive Healthcare have said, seeing a health care provider when feeling depressed or overwhelmed is just as serious and important as seeking medical care for a broken bone or other injury. #youarenotalone #MentalHealthMonth #breakthestigma #communityMay is Mental Health Month!

DRIVE THRU FELONY
On Friday night, officers were dispatched to a local fast food restaurant for a report of three subjects who threatened an employee at the drive up window with a gun. Thanks to the great witness information provided, officers were able to locate the vehicle involved, which contained two of the three suspects. Both suspects were arrested, on scene, and later booked into jail. The third suspect was identified and located the next day; he was also arrested and booked. #SeeSomethingSaySomething #witnessinfohelps #drivethrusaremeantforfoodnotfelonies ... See MoreSee Less
