MESSAGE FROM CHIEF BOYLE - LAW ENFORCEMENT MEMORIAL GARDEN HONORING SERGEANT JOSEPH DECCIO
Dear Members of our community,
August 3rd, 2026 marks the five-year anniversary since Sergeant Joe Deccio tragically passed away while performing his law enforcement duties for the City of Yakima. In honor of Sergeant Deccio, we are proud to move forward with the construction of the Yakima Law Enforcement Memorial Garden. This sacred space will serve as a lasting tribute to Sergeant Deccioโs sacrifice, dedication, and service to our community.
The Memorial Garden is a collaborative effort that reflects our commitment to honoring those who serve and protect. To bring this vision to life, we are seeking support from both our department and the community through donations and sponsorships. Your contributions will help fund essential elements of the memorial garden, including landscaping, the monument itself, and security enhancements.
We invite everyone to participate in this meaningful project. Donations can be made through the Yakima Police Patrolmans Association (YPPA) donation portal, with options for one-time gifts, recurring contributions, and sponsorships. Your generosity will help ensure that this memorial is a fitting tribute and a place for reflection, remembrance, and community gathering for years to come.
Together, we can honor Sergeant Deccioโs legacy and demonstrate our collective support for law enforcement and the values we uphold. Please consider contributing to this important project and help us make the Yakima Police Law Enforcement Memorial Garden a reality.
I personally would like to thank the Yakima Police Benevolent Fund Committee for their work on this project. Thank you for your continued support and commitment.
-Chief Shawn Boyle

It would be interesting to know how many more DUI arrests there would have been if the new proposed limits were in place.
Mark Briggs all bars and restaurants will loose business
Ideally less arrests for DUI after this passes because people will change their behavior and find alternatives besides the selfish choice to drive impaired. Traffic stops aren't initiated by law enforcement knowing anyone's BAC, and you CAN get a DUI now even if your BAC is under .08 It's 2026, time to stop excusing this very dangerous behavior. #BringOnCommonSense #EwwYouStillDrinkAndDrive #MakePublicShamingGreatAgain
