🎉🚔 We’re excited to share a step forward in keeping Tracy safe! Our recently completed Real Time Information Center (RTIC).

At its core, this center focuses on protecting people. With a network of cameras throughout our city, including license plate readers, red-light cameras, and 360° cameras, the RTIC provides officers with live, accurate information when it matters most.

This means:
✅ Faster responses to crimes, collisions, and emergencies
✅ Better support for officers working in our neighborhoods
✅ Safer roads and safer communities for our families

The RTIC is not just a room of screens; it represents a new approach to policing that enables us to be more proactive. Whether responding to violent crime, managing a major collision, or coordinating during storms and emergencies, the RTIC helps us protect Tracy with greater speed, accuracy, and safety.

Together, we’re building a safer, stronger Tracy. 💙

🎉 On April 5, 2025, we had the honor of attending the annual Law and Order Awards hosted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), where we celebrated the remarkable men and women in public safety who go above and beyond to serve the Tracy community. 🚓🚒

During the event, Tracy Police Department’s very own Officer Patang was recognized as Officer of the Year, and we couldn’t be more proud!

Officer Patang joined Tracy PD in early 2023 and hit the ground running. In just his first full year as a solo patrol officer, his commitment to proactive policing and public safety has made a major impact including 74 arrests and 5 firearms seized in 2024.

Please join us in congratulating Officer Patang on this well-earned recognition! 👏👮‍♂️

We also extend our appreciation to the other outstanding award nominees from the CHP – Tracy, San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office, DLA San Joaquin Police Department, South San Joaquin County Fire Authority, and DLA Fire & Emergency Services San Joaquin.

The Tracy Police Department is pleased to announce that its new Red-Light Traffic Safety Program is operational today and will begin issuing warnings for anyone caught running a red light in several high-risk locations. The program will begin with the activation of the red-light camera at the intersection of 11th Street and Corral Hollow Road, with additional cameras being rolled out as construction is completed at other intersections.

Over the coming weeks, six red light cameras will be placed in several directions along the following intersections:
🚦 Tracy Boulevard and 11th Street
🚦 International Parkway and West Schulte Road
🚦 Naglee Road and Grant Line Road

Vehicles caught running a red light during the warning period will receive a notice in the mail alerting them to their illegal act and reminding them about the importance of staying alert. After a 30-day warning period, the program will begin issuing citations to violators. After the warning period ends, fines for illegal red-light running will be sent to the vehicle's registered owner. The fine amount will be included in the citation.

The City of Tracy contracted with @VerraMobility, a leader in speed safety technology, to administer this safety program. The cameras will capture images of vehicle license plates and send them through secure video. Personnel from the Tracy Police Department will verify each infraction before a fine is issued.
