🚨 COPPER THIEVES CAUGHT WITH HELP FROM DFR 🚨

Last Monday at 10:07 PM, an alert security officer called our Communications Center after spotting two subjects trespassing and breaking into a building he was patrolling.

Our Drone as First Responder (DFR) quickly arrived overhead and located the two suspects moving back and forth between a building and a work truck. As officers arrived, in just 2 minutes and 45 seconds, the suspects attempted to hide underneath the trucks.
They didn’t stay hidden for long. 👀

Using the DFR’s aerial view, officers were directed to the suspects’ location and safely took both into custody. Officers also located multiple bags of stolen copper wire, burglary tools used to cut the wire, and narcotics.

The suspects, a 53-year-old San Jose resident and a 52-year-old Campbell resident, were booked into jail on charges including burglary, possession of burglary tools, a probation violation, and drug-related offenses.
This is exactly how quick reporting, technology, and good police work come together. Quick reporting by security, real-time information from DFR, and coordinated work by our officers resulted in two arrests, and it helped prevent additional businesses from potentially becoming victims.

Great teamwork from the air to the ground. 🚁👮‍♂️

⚽️👮‍♂️ Kick’n it with the Cops! 👮‍♀️⚽️

What a great day on the field! Last Thursday, our officers had a blast spending time with over 40 local kids during our 1st ever Kick’n it with the Cops soccer clinic. From practicing new skills and scoring goals to sharing plenty of laughs, it was a great opportunity to connect with the kids we proudly serve.

Events like these remind us that building strong relationships with our community starts early. 💙 We’re grateful to all the families who came out, played alongside us, and made the afternoon so much fun!

Thank you for letting us kick it with you!⚽️🙌

Last Wednesday, our officers had a wonderful time visiting Hands on Learning Center and spending the day with some of our youngest community members! 🧒👧

The kids learned when to call 9-1-1, what police officers do, and even got an up-close tour of our police vehicles. 🚔

For many children, meeting a police officer for the first time can be an exciting experience. Visits like these give our officers an opportunity to build positive relationships, answer questions, and show kids that they can always look to their local officers as people who are here to help.

A big thank you to the preschool staff and all the little ones for welcoming us! We had just as much fun as you did. 💙

Last Thursday, officers responded to the 300-Block of Turquoise Street after receiving reports that a subject had pointed a firearm at several people during a disturbance. The suspect was a family member of the victim’s ex-boyfriend.

Patrol officers quickly responded, secured the scene, and worked alongside detectives to identify the suspect. Through their investigation, detectives quickly obtained an arrest warrant for the suspect, a 22-year-old Sunnyvale resident, as well as a search warrant for the involved residence.

Shortly after obtaining the warrants, detectives saw the suspect leaving in a vehicle and safely took him into custody during the traffic stop. Officers also recovered what appeared to be a loaded firearm from the suspect’s vehicle, which was later determined to be a replica. A search of the suspect’s residence also uncovered a replica Glock-style handgun.

Because replica fi****ms are often virtually indistinguishable from real fi****ms, officers must treat these situations as though the weapon is real to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Thanks to the quick response by Patrol Officers and the follow-up work of our Detectives, the suspect was safely taken into custody before anyone was injured and booked into the Santa Clara County jail on felony assault charges and brandishing a firearm.

Great teamwork by everyone involved! 👏🚔

🚨 DUI & Driver’s License Checkpoint Results 🚨

Over the weekend, the Milpitas Police Department conducted a DUI & Driver’s License Checkpoint on E. Calaveras Blvd near Town Center as part of our ongoing commitment to keeping our roads safer.

During the operation, 1,117 vehicles passed through the checkpoint, with 314 drivers screened. There were no DUI arrests, and seven drivers were cited for being unlicensed.

While making arrests is sometimes necessary, zero DUI arrests is the outcome we hope for. It suggests more drivers are making responsible choices before getting behind the wheel, a positive trend we’ve continued to see at our recent checkpoints.

These operations are made possible through funding provided by the California Highway Patrol’s Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program, helping support ongoing efforts to improve traffic safety in our community.
Thank you to our Traffic Safety Unit, patrol officers, and professional staff for their dedication, and to everyone who planned ahead, designated a sober driver, or chose a safe ride home.

Together, we’re making Milpitas roads safer, one responsible decision at a time. 🚔💙

🚨 Felony Theft Suspect Arrested After Injury Collision 🚨

This past Saturday, one of our officers saw a vehicle driving recklessly near the 160-Block of S. Main Street. As the officer activated their patrol vehicle’s emergency lights to initiate the traffic stop, the driver immediately accelerated away at a high rate of speed. The driver then ran the red light at S. Main Street and Serra Way, colliding with another vehicle that was lawfully entering the intersection.

The occupants of the victim vehicle initially suffered injuries that were believed to be potentially life-threatening and were immediately transported to a local hospital. Thankfully, their injuries were later determined to be non-life threatening, and we wish them all the best as they continue their recovery. We are also grateful for the Milpitas Fire Department for their quick response and professional care, ensuring the victims received the much-needed medical attention.

Inside the suspect vehicle, officers found a large quantity of new clothing with retail price tags still attached. Officers later determined that the merchandise had been stolen during a felony theft in Sunnyvale. The driver, a 20-year-old from Fresno, was arrested and booked into the Santa Clara County jail on charges including felony evasion causing serious injury, reckless driving, and several other-traffic related offenses. Additional theft-related charges are expected and will be handled by the neighboring agency.

This incident is a reminder that a decision to flee from law enforcement can put innocent lives at risk in an instant. We’re thankful the victims are expected to recover and appreciate the teamwork of everyone involved in bringing this incident to a conclusion.

Last week, we had the privilege of celebrating several well-deserved promotions within the Milpitas Police Department. Surrounded by family, friends, and coworkers, our newly promoted leaders took part in a special badge pinning ceremony, where their loved ones had the honor of pinning on their new badges that symbolize years of dedication, sacrifice, and hard work.

These ceremonies are especially meaningful because they recognize not only the achievements of the officers, but also their families who have supported them every step of the way. Their encouragement, patience, and sacrifices are an important part of every milestone.

While a new badge reflects a new rank, it also represents the trust placed in these individuals to continue leading with professionalism, integrity, and compassion.

Please join us in congratulating Assistant Chief Tyler Jamison, Captain Jason Speckenheuer, Lieutenant Casey Croucher, and Sergeant Jason Doll on their well-deserved promotions.

We are proud of all they have accomplished and look forward to the positive impact they will continue making in their new roles!💙🖤

**A Snapshot of Police Activity from This Weekend**

On Thursday, August 20, at 8:35 PM, officers responded to the 1600-Block of Delano St after receiving reports of a suspicious subject parked in the alleyway for several hours. Officers contacted the driver, a 43-year-old Milpitas resident, who did not live in the neighborhood, was under the influence of narcotics, and refused to leave the area. He was arrested and booked into jail for resisting arrest, possession of narcotics and being under the influence of a controlled substance.

On Friday, August 21, at 12:16 AM, midnight shift officers responded to a solo vehicle collision at S Main St and S Abel St. The driver, a 38-year-old Milpitas resident, displayed signs and symptoms of being under the influence of alcohol. He was arrested and booked into jail for DUI.

On Saturday, August 22 at 1:30 AM, a midnight shift officer stopped a vehicle for traffic violations in the area of Yosemite Dr and S Hillview Dr. The driver, a 32-year-old Redding resident, was arrested for possession of narcotics.

On Saturday, August 22 at 5:23 AM, officers responded to the 500-Block of E Calaveras Bl for a subject slurring his words and causing a disturbance. Upon contact, the 28-year-old from San Jose spat on officers and tried biting them. Fortunately, nobody was injured and he was arrested and booked into jail for public intoxication, a probation violation, assaulting an officer and committing a felony while out on bail for separate charges.

On Saturday, August 22 at 10:34 PM, officers responded to the 1000-Block of Jacklin Rd for a two-vehicle collision. It was determined that the drivers of each vehicle, a 20-year-old San Jose resident and 45-year-old San Jose resident, were both driving under the influence of alcohol and were more than double the legal limit of 0.08% BAC. They were both arrested and booked into jail for DUI.
