Today, we pause to honor and remember Deputy Jose "Joe" Cisneros, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty 41 years ago today.

Deputy Cisneros served the citizens of Solano County with unwavering dedication, courage, and integrity. His sacrifice and service will never be forgotten, and his legacy continues to inspire the men and women of the Solano County Sheriff's Office every day.

Our thoughts and prayers remain forever with the Cisneros family, his loved ones, and all who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

Gone, but never forgotten.

The suspect vehicle initially accelerated away before abruptly stopping in the 700 block of 5th St. Two unidentified occupants exited the vehicle and ran away. Unfortunately they were not apprehended. The driver and rear passenger remained in the vehicle and were detained.

Thank you to Markham Elementary for inviting the Solano County Sheriff’s Office and our public safety partners from Vacaville Police and Vacaville Fire to the Markham Elementary Backpack Giveaway & Family Resource Fair. Presented by Markham PTO.

As we prepare for the school year here are some tips.

BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY

Bus Safety: Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is getting ready to stop. Red flashing lights and an extended stop sign indicate the bus is stopped and kids are getting on or off.

Bike safety: remind your student to wear a helmet and to ride on the right in the same direction as traffic.

Use crosswalks: teach children to always use crosswalks and wait for signals before crossing the street.

Emergency contact info: ensure your child knows their home address, phone number, and who to contact in an emergency.
