April is #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth and in support of sexual assault victims around the world, we are participating in & encourage your participation this Wednesday, April 25th in the 2018 #DenimDay campaign.
The first Denim Day event in Southern CA was held in 1999 in response to an international protest of an overturned Italian court decision, Peace Over Violence has developed this campaign “as a symbol of protest against erroneous & destructive attitudes about sexual assault.”
The original case occurred in Italy in the 1990’s, and saw a rape conviction overturned by an Italian court decision because the victim was wearing jeans. The Italian court deemed it would have been impossible to remove the jeans without the assistance of the victim.
We hope you’ll join us in this opportunity to show your support through wearing denim.

Our most heartfelt condolences are sent to the Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office after the horrific #lineofduty assassination shootings of Sgt Noel Ramirez and Deputy Taylor Lindsey as they were on their lunch break in a restaurant in Trenton, Florida.

Sergeant Noel Ramirez, age 30 and Deputy Sheriff Taylor Lindsey, age 25 were shot and killed from ambush yesterday, April 19th at 3:00 pm when a male subject opened fire on them from just inside of the restaurant they had taken their lunch break at. There was no prior disturbance or incident when the shooting occurred – the deputies were there on-duty for their lunch break. The shooter was located deceased near the scene by responding deputies from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Sergeant Ramirez had served with the Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office for seven years. He is survived by his wife and two young children. Deputy Lindsey had been with GCSO for over three years. He is survived by his girlfriend and extended family.

In speaking of his fallen officers, Sheriff Bobby Schultz called the two deputies "the best of the best," adding, "They're men of integrity, they're men of loyalty. They're God-fearing, and they loved what they did. And we're very proud of them."

Rest in Peace to our young brothers dedicated to the public they served.

Officer Involved Shooting (OIS) suspect from Tuesday, Jarod Fisher, has been charged with Assault with a Deady Weapon on a Peace Officer, as well as robbery and multiple enhancements due to prior serious and violent convictions. He had committed a robbery two days before the OIS, which is likely why he ran.

The Anaheim Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Drivers’ License #Checkpoint tonight, April 20, 2018, on Euclid and La Palma Ave between 8:00 P.M. and 3:00 A.M.

The deterrent and preventive effects of DUI checkpoints make them a proven resource in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug involved crashes. Law Enforcement emphasizes the preventable nature of drunk driving, reminding everyone that all it takes is a little planning ahead. #PlanAhead. Designate a #SoberDriver.
