THE VALLEJO WEEKLY
MAYOR’S MESSAGE Dear Fellow Vallejoans, This week I want to express my gratitude to the Vallejo Police Department Detectives who have worked tirelessly to make two arrests in the murder of a young Vallejo resident last week. The VPD has also been making traction on curbing the sideshows with the help of some of our partnering agencies. Last Sunday, our partnering agencies responded with VPD to sideshow activity which led to eight arrests, eight impounded vehicles, and three citations being issued. There was also one agency assisted vehicle pursuit, leading to a foot chase and arrest in Berkeley. You can read VPD’s full press release by clicking here. Unfortunately, we are still talking about COVID this week. While I am sure we all wish that it would just pass already, it’s still very much with us. So I just want to make a gentle reminder to maintain your social distancing, wear a mask or face covering, wash your hands with soap and water often, and please, stay home if you feel sick. The only way we are going to beat this virus right now is by not spreading it.
