At Galt PD, looking out for each other is part of who we are. Sometimes that means noticing when someone isn’t quite themselves, checking in, or simply taking the time to have a conversation.

Take a minute to check in. Ask how someone is doing. And if you’re the one struggling, don’t be afraid to reach out.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. It’s available 24/7.

The Galt Police Department would like to remind businesses and employees that it is illegal to sell or furnish alcohol to anyone under 21 years of age.

As part of our efforts to prevent underage alcohol sales, Galt PD will be conducting minor decoy operations at local businesses in the future.

Remember to check identification, know the signs of fake or altered IDs, and make sure employees are trained on responsible alcohol sales. If you’re unsure, don’t make the sale.

Selling alcohol to a minor can result in criminal and administrative penalties and may impact a business’s alcoholic beverage license.

Thank you to our local businesses for helping us keep Galt safe.

🚨 SOBRIETY & DRIVER’S LICENSE CHECKPOINT 🚨

On Saturday, August 22nd, between 7:00pm and 4:00am, GPD officers will be conducting a checkpoint at a location within the City of Galt.

Advanced notice of these checkpoints are required by law, but more importantly, it serves as a reminder to the public about the dangers of impaired driving. By sharing this information, our goal is to encourage responsible choices and prevent tragedies before they occur.

Our officers are dedicated to protecting the community and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to arrive home safely. Thank you for doing your part.

Last night, a driver in a red pickup truck was doing donuts near Spaans Dr. and Moore Ct. when things went sideways. The driver lost control, hit a curb and a light pole, and completely disabled the truck.

The truck was impounded for 30 days, and the driver received a citation for exhibition of speed.

Thankfully, nobody was hurt. The truck, however, will be sitting this one out for the next 30 days.

Galt PD assisted an outside law enforcement agency with a search warrant served in Galt today. The operation is complete, and there is no threat or concern to the public.

We recognize this occurred on the first day of school, with our elementary schools back in session, and understand the concern it may have caused. We appreciate our community’s patience as the situation was safely resolved.

INVESTING IN OUR OWN — ON & OFF DUTY

At Galt PD, our people are our greatest asset. We’re proud to be the first law enforcement agency in California to make financial wellness a priority for our employees by partnering with The Millionaire Cop.

Investing in our employees goes beyond the job. Strong leadership means supporting our people throughout their careers and in their lives outside of work, too.

When our people are doing well, our department is stronger.

We’re grateful for an administration that supports the well-being and success of our employees both on and off duty. 👏

KIDNAPPING SUSPECT ARRESTED

Earlier this morning, August 7th, 2026, at approximately 3:45 a.m., the GPD Communications Center was contacted by an outside agency regarding a possible kidnapping suspect and victim believed to be within our city.

Utilizing Flock, officers located the suspect vehicle within five minutes of the initial call. The suspect was alone when officers located the vehicle. After a brief search of the area, officers located the victim and transported her to the Galt Police Department, where she was provided food and a safe place to remain.

The suspect was arrested on multiple charges related to kidnapping and narcotics offenses.

Due to the sensitive nature of this investigation, no further information will be released at this time.
