The Sacramento Police Department is grieving the loss of Marysville PD Officer Rodarte, who was senselessly killed in the line of duty this morning.

Officer Rodarte graduated from the Sacramento Police Academy Class 22BR-1. Our hearts are with Officer Rodarte’s family, friends, co-workers, as well as his academy staff & classmates.

Officer Rodarte’s bravery, commitment, and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace Officer Rodarte.

Hope the votes hold when I wake up in the morning

❤️ all the comments @TheCityofSac Council Meeting that understand how important investing in Police services is for all of us & for the future of this City. You can’t grow revenue to fund programs if people don’t feel SAFE living and enjoying events in the City!

[Norm Leong @NormLeong]

This video is reflective of other police agencies w/ staffing issues. Police Dept are down in staffing, officers are working harder only to have people ask why can’t we cut your vacancies? Not a safe question to ask for officers or for community #overworked #suppyanddemand

[San Francisco POA @SanFranciscoPOA]

We got problems. Big problems. If major action is not taken soon, we fear the damage to SFPD may be permanent.

We’re not sure if those who should know—know how bad things are or if they’re too afraid to look. SFPD delivered its 4th major staffing report since last October. We’re not sure if anyone noticed. What we are sure of is that we’ve seen a lot of charts but no bottom line on the current state of affairs.

Well, in this video, we do just that. We explain where we are at, where things are going and why you should close your eyes and grab the oh sh!t handle above the passenger seat.

@BobNEastSac Hello sir, I’ve retired but I also follow PD on X and still see post updates. PD also uses Facebook and Instagram for more stories and I would suggest following those too

@tclift @PhillipHReese @katie4council @phil4sacramento She would have lost just as bad if Land Park was still in her district. I live in downtown and didn’t vote for her so maybe add one yellow dot please.

[Norm Leong @NormLeong]

Remember to VOTE! As a long time city resident, I support a City that provides basic services like police, fire, sanitation and clean streets. Look at our streets…it’s only gotten worse in just a few years. I voted for Phil Pluckebaum!

[Norm Leong @NormLeong]

Vote Sac Town! We fail by electing those who want to save the world but not our city, care more about anti-police than law & order, prioritize personal beliefs over neighborhoods, who listen to the 10 people yelling at council over hard working people who can’t make it to the mtg

[Sacramento Police Department @SacPolice]

We are celebrating 175 years of the Sacramento Police Department! Service, Protection, and Dedication since 1849.

We have faced various challenges but have always remained committed to serving and protecting our City. We have expanded our capabilities, incorporated new technologies, and refined our approach.

SPD Violent Crime Reduction Strategy Update and Announcing of OVP Grant Awards

In June of 2022, The Sacramento Police Department announced our Violent Crime Reduction Strategy, to address violent crime in our community. In 2022 we also applied for and were one of six cities selected by the U.S. Department of Justice, to be a Public Safety Partnership location. We were awarded that grant last October.

As a result, we have seen a drop in violent crime this year. In January 2023 through September 2023, our robberies are down 6.1%, our aggravated assault cases are down 21.1%, our rape cases are down 40.1%, and our homicide total is down 40.0%, compared to the same timeframe as last year. In total, these violent crime numbers are 18.2% lower, when compared to the same 10-month stretch in 2022.

This reduction in crime is in part due to reallocating of resources within the Police Department, focusing on intelligence led policing strategies, and collaboration with law enforcement partners and the community.
Today we are also announcing the grant awards for some of our Community Based Organizations. We are happy to announce that five local groups have been awarded grant opportunities to support the Evidence-Based Community Violence, Interruption, Disruption, and Suppression program (EBCVIDS). We are also awarding nine organizations grants to further the Gang Prevention and Intervention Taskforce (GPIT) goals.

Kathy Lester, Chief of the Sacramento Police Department, would like to thank the officers and community partners who have worked tirelessly to reduce violent crime in our city.

We would also like to acknowledge several organizations who have played a vital role in our violent crime reduction efforts. These partners include Sutter Health, Sacramento County Office of Education, DEA, FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshalls, and U.S. Attorney’s Office, Office of Violence Prevention, and Community-Based Organizations.

We remain committed to zero tolerance and will continue to conduct maximum enforcement on both participants and spectators of these illegal and dangerous events. Individuals participating in or spectating these events could be subject to arrest, have their vehicle towed, receive a citation, or face fines.

We encourage members of the community to continue reporting these dangerous and reckless sideshows by calling our dispatch center at [phone] or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-HELP (4357). Anonymous tips can also be submitted using the free “P3 Tips” smartphone app.

In the month of June 2023, Sacramento Police Department patrol officers responded to three separate robberies that occurred in the south Sacramento area. Detectives from our Neighborhood Crimes Unit (SOUTH) quickly initiated investigations into these robberies and found that they appeared to be related. During the investigation, detectives identified the suspect as 31-year-old, Terrance Boxley of Sacramento. On 6/27/23, our Neighborhood Crimes Unit, Problem Oriented Policing Team, and K9 officers located and arrested Boxley. During a search of his residence, officers located evidence from the associated robberies. Boxley was booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail for Robbery related charges.

The investigation into these robberies is still ongoing, and detectives are still seeking information regarding any incidents that may be related.

The Sacramento Police Department encourages anybody with information regarding these investigations, or any businesses who have had incidents involving a similar suspect, to contact the dispatch center at [phone] or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-HELP (4357).
