🐾 Teamwork Makes the Dream Work! 🐾

In the early morning hours of June 1st, the Brisbane Police Department teamed up with the South San Francisco Police Department to put a wrench in a catalytic converter theft that just occurred. SSFPD notified Brisbane that their suspect had fled from their city and into ours.

Our officers quickly searched the area, and Corporal Valencia located the suspect vehicle abandoned in the parking lot of a condominium complex. A sharp-eyed resident called in to report seeing three suspects flee from the car moments earlier.

With a perimeter established, Corporal Valencia with K9 Ringo, along with SSFPD Officers, immediately conducted a search of the area. K9 Ringo quickly alerted to someone hiding on a nearby walking trail. Two suspects were safely taken into custody by SSFPD. Unfortunately, the third suspect was not located.

A huge thank you to our observant resident. Your quick call helped narrow down where to search, allowing our teams to move in quickly and apprehend the suspects. This is a prime example of the community and police working together to keep our neighborhood safe.

We are proud of Corporal Valencia, K9 Ringo, and our night shift crew for their diligent work, and we deeply value our strong regional partnership with SSFPD. When neighboring agencies and the community look out for one another, criminals don’t stand a chance!

Earlier today, Brisbane Police Department personnel assisted in the rescue of a young California sea lion found wandering near Sierra Point Parkway by the DoubleTree Hotel.
 
The seal was initially spotted by an off-duty Brisbane Police Officer on his way to work after he observed the animal crossing the roadway and heading toward the northbound Highway 101 on-ramp. Concerned for the safety of both the seal and motorists, the officer used his personal vehicle to help slow traffic and contacted Brisbane Police Department personnel for assistance.
 
Brisbane Police Department officers quickly responded to the area, secured traffic, and worked to safely contain the seal while awaiting the arrival of personnel from The Marine Mammal Center. Using specialized animal control equipment, officers were able to safely keep the seal from wandering into traffic or onto the freeway.
 
Rescue personnel later advised that they had been attempting to locate this seal for the past several days after sightings near Coyote Point and surrounding shoreline areas. The young seal was determined to be malnourished and in need of urgent care. The Marine Mammal Center transported the animal to their veterinary hospital where it will receive treatment and rehabilitation, with the goal of being released back into its natural environment.
 
This incident also serves as an important reminder to the public: if you encounter marine wildlife in distress, please do not attempt to handle, feed, move, or approach the animal yourself. Wild marine mammals can become stressed, injured, or unpredictable when approached by the public – causing safety concerns for both the animal and humans. Instead, maintain a safe distance of at least 50 yards and contact trained professionals at The Marine Mammal Center at 415-289-SEAL (7325).
 
We are grateful for the teamwork displayed today between Brisbane Police Department personnel and The Marine Mammal Center in helping ensure Sierra received the care she needed safely and successfully.

Special delivery… of justice! ⚖️📦

On March 10, two package thefts occurred in our city. The items were stolen right from the owner’s porch. After it was reported to the officers, our team immediately went to work to identify the person responsible. Using a combination of citizen reports and our Flock cameras, we quickly identified the vehicle involved.

On Friday, March 13, Sgt. Hunt and Cpl. Miller spotted the suspect vehicle on Geneva Ave. One traffic stop and one arrest later, we were able to get the stolen property back and return them back to the victims!

Excellent proactive patrol work by our officers and a huge “thank you” to our community for the assist. 👮‍♂️🚓
