Our thoughts and prayers are with Sgt. Whelen’s family and the @SJSheriff Office. 🙏🏽

[San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office @SJSheriff]

It is with deep sorrow that the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office announces the passing of Sergeant Jason Whelen, who suffered a medical emergency while on duty on Tuesday, February 24th.

Despite the immediate response and extensive life-saving efforts by fellow deputies and medical personnel, Sergeant Whelen tragically passed away.

Sergeant Whelen began his career with the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office on October 15, 2007. Through his dedication, professionalism, and commitment to service, he was promoted to Sergeant on February 25, 2013. Throughout his career, he served this community with honor, integrity, and compassion.

Sergeant Whelen was a proud husband and devoted father of four. He was known within the Sheriff’s Office for his kindness, steady leadership, love of Jesus Christ, and infectious smile. He brought positivity to those around him and was someone who could always be counted on.

Our thoughts are with Sergeant Whelen’s family, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time. The Sheriff’s Office mourns the loss of a respected leader, a valued partner, and a cherished member of our law enforcement family.

We ask the community to keep his loved ones and our Sheriff’s Office family in your thoughts.

On this #MLKDay we honor Dr. King’s legacy of service, courage, and compassion. His call to justice reminds us that equality and dignity live through our everyday actions.

At the Manteca Police Department, we’re committed to serving with fairness, accountability, and respect. 💙

🚨Eight Arrested in Gang-Related Kidnapping Case🚨

On July 11, 2025, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office AGNET Unit—alongside the Stockton Police Department SWAT Team, Manteca Police Department SWAT Team, Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office SWAT Team, and the FBI SWAT Team—executed five coordinated search warrants across San Joaquin County as part of a gang-related kidnapping and torture investigation.

As a result, eight individuals were arrested:
▪️ Dilpreet Singh
▪️ Arshpreet Singh
▪️ Amritpal Singh
▪️ Vishal (no name given)
▪️ Pavittar Singh
▪️ Gurtaj Singh
▪️ Manpreet Randhawa
▪️ Sarabjit Singh

Each suspect was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail on various felony charges, including:
• Kidnapping
• Torture
• False Imprisonment
• Conspiracy to Commit a Crime
• Preventing/Dissuading a Witness
• Assault with a Semiautomatic Firearm
• Threats to Terrorize
• Felony Gang Enhancement

Additional weapons-related charges included:
• Possession of a Machine Gun
• Illegal Possession of an Assault Weapon
• Manufacture/Sale of High-Capacity Magazines

Seized during the searches:

This takedown was part of the FBI’s Summer Heat initiative, a nationwide effort targeting violent offenders and gang members who terrorize our communities. Summer Heat reflects Director Patel’s commitment to the American people to crush crime and restore safety in neighborhoods across the country.

We extend our deepest thanks to all our partner agencies for their professionalism, precision, and continued collaboration in keeping our communities safe.
