On Saturday, June 6, 2026, members of the Lamorinda Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) participated in a mock Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) exercise hosted by Lafayette Police Emergency Services. The hands-on training gave CERT volunteers the opportunity to practice critical disaster response skills, including search, triage, rescue, and communications techniques that may be needed following a major earthquake or other large-scale emergencies.
In a major disaster, professional responders may be overwhelmed, making trained community volunteers an essential part of the response. Exercises like this help strengthen our community's ability to work together, save lives, and support recovery efforts when disaster strikes.
This collaborative training was developed by Lafayette Police, Moraga-Orinda Fire District, and Lamorinda CERT, with valuable support from Cushman & Wakefield, who provided the training site, and the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff.

Tuesday (6/2) afternoon at about 2:13, Lafayette police officers responded to a business on the 3500 block of Mt. Diablo Blvd. for a report of two shoplifters who stole items and then fled in a silver-colored Honda.

On Pleasant Hill Road, the suspect vehicle drove past a Lafayette police officer who attempted to stop the car. The Honda fled leading the officer on a pursuit which the officer terminated and pulled over when the suspect vehicle drove north in the southbound lanes.

The officer later came upon a collision involving the Honda and another vehicle a short distance away. The suspects fled on foot.

Officers from the Orinda police department and deputy sheriffs from Valley Station responded to set up a perimeter and help search for the suspects. Helicopters from the California Highway Patrol and East Bay Regional Park District Police also provided assistance.

A Contra Costa Sheriff's Office police K-9 located one suspect who was taken into custody and booked into the Martinez Detention Facility. Another suspect remains outstanding. The two occupants in the car that was stuck by the suspect vehicle were taken to a local hospital as a precaution.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Lafayette Police Department at (925) 284-5010. Tips can be emailed to: [email protected].
