Yesterday San José Officers, one on his 7th day on the job, responded to assist @SJFD with a residential fire. They assisted with an unresponsive elderly female and immediately began giving her CPR.

SJPD Media Briefing for homicides #40 & #41

No surprise to see Officers Duran and Ruybal going above and beyond, helping our kids. Both officers have spent their entire careers, giving back just like this.

The recruits of San José Police Academy 38 had their midterm inspection this week. Command staff inspect the recruits appearance. But, it isn’t enough to just look good, recruits are also quizzed regarding laws, penal codes, and other departmental information.

Slowing the spread of COVID-19 takes community cooperation and self-compliance with health orders. It continues to be SJPD policy not to conduct enforcement stops based on shelter in place or other heath orders; however, that doesn't negate individuals' or businesses reasonability to comply with the state mandated curfew. The Department will respond to calls for service regarding gatherings and violations of the health order. Santa Clara County has set up a hotline and websi...te for reporting businesses, events, or other activities in violation of heath orders. 1-866-870-7725 https://aca-prod.accela.com/sccgoveh/Welcome.aspx
