It was a great honor to have Sergeant J. Mitchell of our Eden Township Division invited to participate as a member of the honor guard at the Veterans of Foreign Wars 9/11 Memorial in Castro Valley this past weekend. The memorial included Taps and a 21-gun salute in remembrance of the lives lost 20-years ago on 9/11.

Sergeant Mitchell, who stepped up for our country and joined the United States Marine Corps on 9/11, also had the honor of meeting Mickey Ganitch, a disabled veteran who served 23-years in the United States Navy. Ganitch fought in WWII and is one of the few Pearl Harbor survivors remaining in America.

It’s Senior Sunday! Adoption fees are waived each Sunday for senior pets at our East County Animal Shelter! We’d like to introduce you this week to our two sweet senior kitties, Kai and Mercedes!

KAI is a black and white Domestic Shorthair. She is an 11 year old spayed female. Kai was surrendered to us in June when her previous owner moved out of the country.

MERCEDES is a black Domestic Shorthair. She is estimated to be around 10 years old, and is also a spayed female. Mercedes was surrendered to us in June when her previous owner passed away.

Both girls are friendly, lower energy kitties who are looking for caring new homes where they can spend their golden years in comfort. They’ve both been vaccinated, will be micro-chipped, and have had recent bloodwork done courtesy of our friends at the Tri Valley Animal Rescue.

Meet Kai and Mercedes at our East County Animal Shelter, located at 4595 Gleason Drive in Dublin, CA. Our shelter is open daily from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm. Face coverings are required. We can be reached by phone at 925-803-7040 with any questions.

Women Leaders in Law Enforcement

Congratulations, Lieutenant C. Carone, on being published in American Jails, The Magazine of the American Jails Association. Lieutenant Carone's article, 'The 80/20 Business Rule: How It Can Be Applied to Corrections' identifies how 80% of outcomes (or outputs) result from 20% of your input. She relates it to a custodial environment and identifies how she applies the 80/20 principle in various aspects of her leadership as a criminal justice manager at the Santa Rita Jail.

Eden Township Division (ETD) Deputy of the Month

Our ETD implemented a "Deputy of the Month Appreciation Program" in the month of August 2021. Deputy Sullivan, by consensus of his peers on A-Team, was nominated to receive the first award. Nominations from all four teams were reviewed. Deputy Sullivan was selected based on his outstanding work on a burglary case from July 2021.

You may recall our post on July 27, 2021, regarding Deputy Sullivan interrupting a burglary in progress at a Castro Valley Public Storage. Over $200,000 in stolen property was recovered, and two suspects were arrested on multiple charges as a result of Deputy Sullivan's proactive approach to policing. This all happened because Deputy Sullivan decided to conduct one more patrol check of the facility at the end of his shift due to an uptick in burglaries at Public Storage locations in our service area.

Congratulations, Deputy Sullivan! Your commitment to service and the diligence you put into the case resulted in the return of personal belongings to several community members of unincorporated Alameda County.

REUNITED

Deputy DeNardi, center left, worked at an after school daycare program prior to becoming a deputy. During his time at the daycare, he developed a bond with 9-year old Manvir Guleria. When Manvir learned that Deputy DeNardi planned to leave the daycare to pursue a career in law enforcement, Manvir became enthralled with law enforcement officers. When Deputy DeNardi was hired, he eventually lost contact with Manvir. They had not been in touch for about two years, until a mutual friend recently informed Deputy DeNardi that young Manvir was battling cancer.

Deputy DeNardi was saddened by the news and wanted to pay a visit to Manvir to brighten his day. He solicited help from fellow Eden Township Division deputies assigned to our Crime Prevention Unit and patrol to surprise Manvir with some ACSO swag and a personal video game system. The team definitely brightened Manvir’s and his parents' day. Manvir's admiration for law enforcement officers was evident by the bright smile on his face. Manvir has been courageous in his battle with cancer. He is our hero!!

Did you know that our East County Animal Shelter occasionally has outdoor, “barn” cats available to adopt? Barn or working cats are cats who are typically unsocialized to people, and are generally not accustomed to living indoors. They aren’t quite pets, but they do still need a safe place to call home where they will be provided with supervision, fresh water and food, and shelter from weather and predators. In exchange, they will help provide you with rodent control! If you have a ranch, workshop, or other property, preferably away from heavy traffic, and are interested in providing a home to a pair or trio of outdoor cats, please contact Animal Services Technician Ridad at 925-803-7040 for more information, and to be added to our waiting list.

We had a chance to catch up with our AC Transit Police Services deputies working the C-Team midnight shift last night. Saturday nights are generally quite busy with calls for service. Nonetheless, these deputies still found time to help a community member jump start her vehicle and hand out a few stickers along the way. Whether it’s a warm smile or helping someone across the street, it’s always nice to show up and see them representing the ACSO well.

HAPPY 95th BIRTHDAY It was our honor to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Ben Roman, a WWII veteran. Mr. Roman is also the father of Deputy Marci Liskey. Enjoy your special day !

ACSO Deputies have worked 5000 mutual aid hours in Santa Cruz. Sometimes we have to grab the firehose ourselves to save a home. We have helped coordinate mutual aid for 6 Bay Area counties.

Happy 5th Birthday to Phoenix. Thank you for the invite to your party. You’ll always remember this one. See you next year for a real party.

OAKLAND INTERNATIONAL- About 8:45 am, the pictured suspect, Fabian Rocha-Ruiz (27), approached parked ACSO vehicles armed with a knife. The vehicles were not occupied because deputies were patrolling Terminal 1 on foot. Deputies were alerted to Ruiz where they saw him armed with a folding knife. When confronted, he initially dropped the knife but became uncooperative and picked it back up. He began to walk toward the female deputy with the knife as she had her firearm withdrawn from a safe distance. He then turned and walked away from her toward the patrol cars. Additional deputies arrived on scene and after several tense moments were able to de-escalate the situation and get Ruiz into custody without incident. He later told deputies he had come to the airport to kill one of them and believed they would likely kill him in return. We are very thankful this ended peacefully. Our deputy and her partners did an outstanding job de-escalating this potentially deadly situation. Ruiz has been placed under arrest for several charges including brandishing a weapon and criminal threats. Sgt. Ray Kelly Public Information Officer

OFF COURSE HOLIDAY TRAVELER We found this little seal this morning headed into the Oakland Airport. We are not exactly sure where he was headed but a flight to Hawaii is suspected. Deputies were able to coax him back into the bay where he is safe.

FUTURE CHAMPS These little guys are part of our DSAL Boxing Academy. They are the future of our community, so it is a tremendous honor that their families have allowed us to teach and mentor them. When we invest in our community we create opportunities, improve trust and change lives. This is all part of our community capital policing strategy. When kids are training and exercising they are not falling prey to the negative elements in the community. Thank you to our coaches and volunteers. You’re changing lives.

Congratulations to the new graduates of the 162nd ACSO basic academy. Graduates are from: ACSO, Alameda PD, Antioch PD, BART Police, Berkeley PD, Fremont PD, Newark PD, Piedmont PD, Redding PD, San Mateo County Sheriff, Santa Clara PD, Sunnyvale DPS, Union City PD.

A LIFE GOAL ACCOMPLISHED FOR A FALLEN FRIEND: This is ACSO Deputy Jim Del Rio touching the Atlantic Ocean in Yorktown, Virginia today! On May 24th, Jim departed the Presidio of San Francisco on his bicycle to journey across the continental USA. With himself, bicycle and equipment he weighed in about 295 lbs. On December 12, 1998, Jim’s friend and partner, Deputy John Monego was murdered when he responded to a take over robbery at a restaurant in Dublin, CA. Jim responded to that call and chased down the murder suspect who was arrested and sentenced to life in prison. Jim has never forgotten that day and said to himself, “One day i’m going to do something amazing to honor John’s sacrifice”. With John’s strength and memory in his heart, Jim set out on the grueling journey. He fought traffic, weather, exhaustion, dehydration and isolation one crank of the pedal at a time. He slept on the side of the road and in hostile terrain with one goal in mind, John Monego. He felt his personal pain paled in comparison to the suffering the Monego Family has endured the past 20 years. During 68 days of riding, Jim covered about 3,500 Miles. He had plenty of time to think about John, his family and his own 29 year career at ACSO. So today, we congratulate Jim on completing his journey and we shall never forget the sacrifice of our friend Deputy John Paul Monego. Jim is going to take a few well deserved days off on the East Coast and then make the journey home in an airplane! Congrats Jim! We are very proud of you. #Strength #Love #Perseverance #NeverForget #JohnMonego

Are you a fun person or family who is looking for a fun new dog? Meet Eli! Eli is a five year old (approximately) neutered male Husky, who was found as a stray with extensive burn injuries to his back. We don't know exactly how this happened to him, but he’s been recovering at our shelter for the past six weeks, receiving lots of love and care from our staff. He still has a little bit of healing to go, but he’s done with his treatments, and is ready to start looking for a new forever home! Eli is a happy, fun loving guy who loves belly rubs (his very favorite thing!), going for walks, playing with toys, and may even enjoy swimming too! He already knows some basic skills, such as "sit," and “down," and he walks pretty well on leash. He can be a bit selective about which dogs he enjoys hanging out with. If you already have another dog, the shelter staff will do a dog introduction to see if they could possibly be friends. He’d also be more than happy to be your one and only! Eli is currently still being housed in a non-public area of the shelter while he continues to heal, and may not up for public viewing at this time. If you are interested in giving Eli a home, please email Lindsey at [email protected] in order to arrange for a visit. Eli is available for adoption in conjunction with the Tri-Valley Animal Rescue, and interested parties will be asked to fill out a dog adoption application.
