April 12th - April 18th 2026 is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. This is a week where we show our appreciation to our CSO/Dispatchers (Telecommunicators). Did you know that all of our professional staff (CSO’s) are cross-trained to work in dispatch? Actually all of our CSO’s started their career as dispatchers. This includes our Code Enforcement Officer, Evidence Technician, Records Clerk, Investigations Assistant and Supervisor. We have five full time dispatchers who work twelve hour shifts and at times work solo dispatching both police & fire, answering 911 lines, text-to-911, business lines and lobby… We are so grateful to the amazing humans who work with us and are proud to serve the City of Chowchilla.

Thanks to the vigilance of our community, officers responded to reports of suspicious activity in the 300 block of South 8th Street.

With prior knowledge of a probationer residing in the area, night shift officers conducted a proactive probation check at the residence. During the contact, officers arrested Michael Jimenez of Chowchilla for possession with intent to sell and possession of paraphernalia.

Great work by our night shift team, and thank you to our community for speaking up. Your awareness helps keep our city safe.
