A lifesaving mission on Mount Diablo🚁

When a seriously injured hiker became stranded on steep, inaccessible terrain, the crew of Eagle 8, our Rescue Line Technician, and public safety partners came together to execute a complex helicopter rescue—safely extracting the patient and getting them to medical care.

This rescue was more than a successful mission. It was the result of more than a year of training, preparation, innovation, and teamwork to build this lifesaving capability through our Human External Cargo program.

We are thankful for everyone who helped turn a vision into reality and grateful for the teamwork and commitment that continue to make our communities safer.

Protect. Serve. Preserve.

🚔 Talk about a bad case of tunnel vision… 👓🫶🏽

Yesterday, EBRPD officers responded to the Iron Horse Trail in Dublin for a fight in progress. Officers detained the suspect, who allegedly approached a runner near Amador Valley Blvd., got into a brief scuffle, and attempted to take the victim’s glasses. He also allegedly tried to collect glasses from other trail users.

The suspect was arrested and booked into Santa Rita Jail for Battery on Parklands (243.2) and Attempted Robbery (664/211).

Turns out, he had been released from jail just a few hours earlier.

👓 Friendly reminder: Please leave the trail users, and their glasses alone.🫡

PS - thanks to our friends at Dublin PD for the assist!

Today, we proudly celebrate National Women in Law Enforcement Day, also known as National Police Woman Day. 💙

This day recognizes the incredible women who serve throughout the law enforcement profession — from our sworn officers and dispatchers to professional and support staff who work behind the scenes every day to keep our agencies and communities moving forward.

We’re also proud that some of our ladies recently attended the RISE Conference in San Diego, where women in law enforcement came together to connect, learn, grow, and empower one another as leaders in this profession.

To all the women who answer the call, serve their communities, support their teams, and continue paving the way for those who will follow — today we celebrate you and thank you for everything you do. 👮‍♀️🎧💙

Happy National Women in Law Enforcement Day!

We Remember.

Today, the East Bay Regional Park District Police Department pauses to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

We honor the first responders who ran toward danger, the countless acts of courage and selflessness, and the families who carry the weight of that day with them still.

Twenty-five years later, their sacrifice remains with us—and so does the unity, service, and resolve shown in the days that followed.

May we never forget those we lost, those who answered the call, and those whose lives were forever changed.

September 11, 2001. Never forgotten.

Protect. Serve. Preserve.

🚨 Friendly reminder from your neighborhood park safety crew. Your weekly PSA from Dispatch has dropped:

Your car is NOT a storage unit, and your valuables are definitely NOT community property. 😂

Lock your doors. Hide your valuables. Better yet—take them with you. 🔒🎒🚗

We want you leaving the park with memories, muddy shoes, and great pictures… not a police report. 😏🌳

Stay safe. Stay smart. And don’t make it easy for the sticky-fingered folks. 😂

A rapid response made all the difference. 🚁
On August 9, EAGLE 8 staffed by Officer/Pilot Keefer and TFO Saunders responded to Mission Peak after a 7-year-old child suffered a heat-related medical emergency near the summit.
Working with Fremont Fire the crew quickly flew a paramedic to the child and assisted with her extraction and transport to a waiting ambulance.
Medical personnel credited the rapid response as critical to her care. We’re grateful to share that she has made a full recovery. Yesterday, personnel involved were formally recognized for this incident. ❤️
