Everyone loves a smile and we think we'll caption this #SundaySmile Officers reunited a young boy with his family after he briefly lost his way. A quick stroll home with an officer to lead the way brought a smile to everyone involved

Yesterday, officers recovered firearms on two separate vehicle stops. The first vehicle stop was in the 9100 block of Elk Grove Florin Rd. where a probationer, who was prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition, was found to be in possession of a loaded, concealed firearm (pictured). Shortly after, a second vehicle stop was made in the area of Elk Grove Blvd and Harbour Point Dr., where a parolee, who was also prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunitions, was found to be in possession of a loaded, concealed firearm. Both subjects were arrested for various charges and then transported to the main jail. Rain or shine, we will continue to keep Elk Grove safe!

In accordance with the City holidays, our Service Center will be closed today, December 24th and tomorrow December 25th. We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season!

Hello 2021! Happy New Year's Day Elk Grove!

Elkie was pretty excited to get a truck his size while hanging out with our Community Service Officers ... he just takes a little longer to get to calls

Retired K-9 Vasco, thank you for your service. You will not be forgotten.

Yesterday, detectives from our Street Crimes Unit served a search warrant related to an active investigation. Located during the search were several firearms and ammunition. Bobby Moore, 23 year-old Elk Grove resident and validated gang member, was arrested for various charges and transported to the main jail.

A look back on 2020 with some of our favorite moments and most shared posts. As we close out 2020 we want to again say thank you to our wonderful community! Cheers to 2021, we wish you a safe, healthy and happy New Year!

Today, the Cosumnes Community Services District Fire Department donated six new Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) to the Elk Grove Police Department. Applied in a timely manner, an AED can shock a heart into a normal rhythm after it has gone into a life-threatening rhythm. The fire department secured an Emergency Medical Services grant from Walmart to partially fund the donation.... In 2017, the fire department began providing specialized training on High Performance CPR to first responders in the region, including Elk Grove Police Department personnel. Police officers are often the first to arrive on-scene to a sudden cardiac arrest. When they can immediately provide quality CPR compressions to the patient, it prolongs the opportunity for defibrillation by the arriving EMS personnel. With today’s donation, the police officers will be able to carry AEDs in their patrol vehicles. These defibrillators will give our first responders the best chance to save a life, Elk Grove Police Chief Tim Albright said. I want to thank the Cosumnes CSD Fire Department and Walmart for their generous donation. This important collaboration will go a long way in serving our Elk Grove community in a meaningful way. Our collaboration with the Elk Grove Police Department is invaluable in providing a seamless flow of emergency response, from the moment care is needed until the incident is resolved. Their use of High Performance CPR in combination with defibrillation will continue to save lives in our community, Cosumnes CSD Fire Chief Felipe Rodriguez said. Cosumnes Community Services District is a regional leader dedicated to providing superior emergency medical, fire protection, parks and recreation services to over 205,000 residents in a 157-square-mile area of south Sacramento County.

With the assistance of our community we positively identified the suspect (pictured) from last weeks Can you ID? Detectives from EGPD, with the assistance of the SWAT team served a search warrant at Elk Grove resident, Donald Weideman’s residence. Weideman was not located at that time, however, he later turned himself into EGPD detectives. Weideman was transported and booked into the main jail on charges related to the previously reported brandishing as well as additional charges related to an active and ongoing investigation.
