Michaela Garecht
Tremendous News today from the Hayward Police Department in announcing the arrest of the suspect in the Michaela Garecht Kidnapping and Murder Case. For 32 years, Hayward Police never stopped working for Michaela. Their commitment to Michaela and her family is commendable and unwavering. This gives great hope to other families of murdered and missing children. It also inspires us to continue on with the work we are doing on similar cases. We will never quit.
"The thin blue line actually stands for the line between justice and injustice and evil and righteousness," said Alameda County Sheriff Greg Ahern.

Who’s says you need a car to pick up contactless, free groceries at our @AC_DSAL Dig Deep Farms Food Hub? This guy rode his bike up Fairmont Dr. to get his loaded into his childless child seat. Have you seen that hill? Happening tomorrow, 1-3pm at 2700 Fairmont Dr., San Leandro.
Our various duty stations around the County have been very busy spreading cheer. Our Crime Prevention Unit’s Annual Toy Drive concluded with lots of smiles on the faces of the families in the communities we serve. Santa and his law enforcement helpers were determined to make this Christmas as bright and cheery as possible. We want to thank all of our community partners, citizens and staff who helped to make this event a success. #communitycapitalspolicing #acsocares #communitysupport #welovekids
Missing Juvenile
Our Santa Rita Jail Compliance Unit and their families prepared Christmas cards for a local senior center to spread some Christmas cheer for seniors who can’t be with their families this holiday season due to COVID-19. #KindnessMatters #wecare #community #ACSOCares
Many schools are closed during these tough times. Families who receive food support for breakfast and lunch through meal programs provided by the school district for their children are missing that support. Every month our school resources officers & the San Lorenzo Unified School District support families in the district in need of food and supplies in an effort to fill that void. In light of the holidays an extra drive thru giveaway was done to support the families in the community we serve. #communitystrong #communitycapitalspolicing #wecare #healthyliving #ACSOCares
After Three Decades of service we will be leaving the Peralta Community College District. Our staff greatly enjoyed this assignment and many of us had exceptional experiences and careers here. We hope someday they will realize they made a mistake in defunding their police services. We hope the students and faculty stay safe and get the protection and service they deserve. We are going to miss everyone and thank you to all past and present who worked this great assignment.

In two weeks, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office will no longer patrol the Peralta Colleges. Instead, unarmed guards from local firms will handle security at Laney College, Merritt College and College of Alameda. (The Berkeley City College already has an existing contract with a security firm). Journalists with The Peralta Citizen have uncovered issues with contracting, licensing and certification with some of the firms.
In 2010, in conjunction with our Deputy Sheriff’s Activities League we created Dig Deep Farms as a way of providing healthy food and jobs to people living in the community and those returning to society from the justice system through re-entry programs. ABC 7 highlights some of the program’s benefits and how the program has helped during the pandemic.

GOLF CART BANDIT
About 8am, this suspect was released from Santa Rita Jail after he was cited on a drug possession charge hours before.
Instead of just walking to the BART Station, he decided to steal the ground keepers golf cart with attached trailer and gardening tools. The cart was locked with no key in the ignition.
He abandoned the cart at a nearby shopping center and left on foot toward Dublin BART. We were able to locate and detain him for the theft.
We gave him a ride back to Santa Rita Jail in a police car. The cart was recovered. He will likely be released again due to the new bail schedule.
Some people are blaming us for this incident and saying it wasn’t his fault he stole the cart. That we created the opportunity for him to steal. That just doesn’t make sense.

For the past month we have been collecting new, unwrapped toys for our Crime Prevention Unit’s Annual Holiday Toy Drive. Many have answered the call to make this very unique holiday season special for the children in the communities we serve. In this line of work, not much surprises us. However, Brian Liang of Danville surprised us with this amazing donation of toys to help our cause. People like Brian make this world a little brighter.
Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Mr. Christopher Moss is the latest student to pass his GED as a participant of Five Keys at the Santa Rita Jail. When he began class in March 2020 he returned to school needing over 110 credits to graduate. In March when we were able to do assessment testing (pre-Covid-19), his scores reflected a seventh grade level. Over the prevailing months he worked diligently on completing work toward his high school diploma.
After he completed about 40 units, his work showed continued improvement and growth. Since the establishment of the Five Keys phone help line, Moss checked in with his teacher (Ms. Moreno; first photo) on a regular basis with homework questions and strategies. Based on the academic progress Moss made, the GED test was offered to him. The GED is a difficult test and many who take often have to retake sections. Moss was able to pass the test on his first try. Since enrolling in Five Keys, he has shown a high degree of commitment, focus and determination that is quite commendable. He plans to continue with school to earn his High School Diploma.

Pleasanton, CA – The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) has made a public comment via Facebook condemning a local news outlet’s reporting of an incident involving their deputies in the jail.
MISLEADING:
Very misleading reporting to the public by KTVU Fox 2 .This individual caused their own injuries due to erratic behavior. Our staff acted with compassion and care and was 100% professional. The investigation shows no wrongdoing at all!

Yesterday our @AC_DSAL Boxing Academy coaches passed out boxes of groceries w/complete Thanksgiving dinner fixings to 15 families in our service community. This was made possible by Coach Manny Villalon (1st photo, far left) who ran 100 miles in the “Running for Our Community” event between 11/16-11/22 to raise funds for families in need during these trying times. Coaches Vic Law and Sergeant Montigue assisted by preparing the boxes and handing them out to families. These coaches do more than teach fitness and boxing techniques. They really care about the families who participate in our Boxing Academy. #wecare #communitycapitalspolicing #runningforourcommunity
Sunday, 9:15pm, ACSO responded to Alarm at Wells Fargo ATM in Castro Valley. Upon arrival, a suspect was located inside the ATM room trying to steal the 💰. He refused to surrender multiple times. K9 was sent in and the suspect quickly jumped out and into arms of awaiting deputies. He’s in jail now.
Everyone’s getting involved in our toy drive. These deputies filled a couple of the donation boxes at our Eden Township Substation. There’s still time to get involved before the 12/11 deadline.

Here is a recap of last week’s first ever ACSO “Ice Cream with a Cop” event at Knudsen’s Ice Creamery in Castro Valley. Thank you to everyone who came out for this wonderful event. We look forward to doing it again.
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.

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.
