Major County Sheriffs of America

National Police Week is not just about the badge. It is about the lives behind it and the ones we have lost in service to others. 💙

This is National Police Week. Among the events is the Unity Tour. Hundreds of peace officers participated in a 300 mile bicycle ride in memory of the fallen. It was an honor to greet the @OCSheriff team as they finished their ride at the National Peace Officer Memorial in DC.

Thank you to @SpeakerJohnson for hosting a coffee for our nation’s law enforcement leaders during Police Week in Washington, D.C. It was an honor to spend time with officials from across the country discussing the challenges facing public safety and the continued importance of supporting those who serve and protect our communities every day. @sbcountysheriff @JayObernolte #policeweek

Proud to support the VICTIM Act. Thank you to @SenJohnKennedy, @SenBooker, @RepDwightEvans, and @RepDonBacon for your leadership.

Deputy Bradley Reckling gave his life serving the people of Michigan. He left behind a wife and four children, including a baby he never got to meet. This Police Week, we remember him. And we stand with the brave men and women of @OaklandSheriff who carry his memory forward.

Honored to represent the Major County Sheriffs of America at today’s congressional briefing in the Senate alongside fellow law enforcement leaders and Jim McDonnell of the Los Angeles Police Department to discuss the evolving role of technology in public safety. Technology continues to play a critical role in helping law enforcement solve crimes faster, improve officer safety, and better protect our communities. Thank you to the Senate Law Enforcement Caucus for bringing agencies together for these important conversations and collaborative efforts. @MCSheriffs @sbcountysheriff @LAPDPoliceChief

It’s my honor to join America in celebrating Police Week 2026 - where we honor the best men and women on earth who put the badge on every day to keep us safe. At this FBI under President Trump, we continue to crush violent crime and defend the homeland at record levels - largely thanks to these heroes who get it done on the front lines all across this country. And when it comes to standing with police, this FBI’s message is simple: if you touch a cop, we’ll put you down. Backing the Blue is here to stay.

Happy Birthday, @OHFCSO Sheriff Baldwin! We appreciate you, always.

"All law enforcement, we want to thank you. And thank you from the bottom of my heart." This police week, President Trump honors America's incredible police officers at the White House with a dinner in the Rose Garden. 🇺🇸🚔

What started as a planned weekend event at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway didn’t stay at the track. As crowds left sanctioned events, some attempted to take over intersections across the valley — putting drivers, spectators, and the community at risk. 🎥 In this video: A vehicle takes over an intersection at Tropical Parkway and Celebration Way around 12:30 a.m. on April 26, 2026, as a crowd gathers. Our air unit tracks the suspect vehicle from above… until the car crashes. Officers move in and take the suspects into custody. This is exactly what our enforcement operation was designed to stop. Over a three-day, zero-tolerance operation: ▪️ 77 arrests (66 adults, 11 juveniles) ▪️ 59 vehicles towed/impounded ▪️ 10+ attempted takeover locations disrupted ▪️ 19 out-of-state participants identified ▪️ 4 firearms recovered This was a coordinated effort: 🔹 North Las Vegas Police Department cleared reckless groups in their jurisdiction 🔹 Nevada State Police targeted I-15 corridors, stopping “rolling races” and dangerous high-speed activity Street takeovers aren’t entertainment — they’re dangerous, illegal, and put lives at risk. If you choose to participate, expect enforcement. Event: LLV260400099605

9 stolen cars were recovered, a gun seized, and 4 people arrested. It all happened recently during a detail w/ the HCSO's Auto Theft Task Force, Violent Offender Task Force, Emergency Services Unit, analysts and help from the Minneapolis PD. This gun was among the items recovered

Today we joined the family of Jail Master David Robinson for a solemn flag ceremony at his grave in Concord. 65 years ago this May, Jail Master Robinson was killed while trying to prevent an escape at the Middlesex Jail. We will never forget Jail Master Robinson & his service.

At our annual meeting with our 13 contract cities, we highlighted the latest technology advancements within the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department—tools that enhance public safety, accelerate crime-solving, and keep our deputies in the field where they’re needed most. Just as important, these efforts are built on the strong partnerships we share with each of our contract cities—working together to deliver the highest level of service and keep our communities safe. @sbcountysheriff @CityofBBL @HighlandPolice @AppleValleyCA @AppleVllyPolice @CityofHesperia @HesperiaPolice @VictorvillePD @cityofvv @CityofGT @CityOfLomaLinda @CityofAdelanto @cityof29palms @CityofYucaipa @MyYuccaValley @CityOfRC

Proud to support @SenCortezMasto's bill to protect our first responders and construction workers who face dangerous conditions while working roadside.

I was honored to be joined by LAPD Chief James McDonnell along with Mike Barragan and Chris Zine of the Los Angeles Police Revolver and Athletic Club who presented an award to the @sbcountysheriff. LAPRAAC, the driving force behind Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay, recognizes agencies and organizations that go above and beyond in supporting this incredible event. Grateful for the partnership and proud to stand alongside so many who contribute to making Baker to Vegas such a meaningful tradition. @LAPDHQOfficial @LAPRAAC

Today, @MCSheriffs, along with many of its law enforcement partners, is proud to release "Shared Principles of Agreement - Public Safety Leadership Convening." Law enforcement is stronger together and we are grateful to @TheIACP for putting this convening together.

From chaos to capture—fast. On March 23, 2026, around 7:30 a.m., LVMPD officers responded to a violent incident near the 4900 block of West Craig Road involving a vehicle crashing into a business, followed by a stabbing and reported shooting. When officers arrived, the suspect had already fled. Thanks to our drone unit, officers were able to quickly locate the suspect from above—leading to a swift arrest. Watch this video from overhead as it unfolded. What we know: • The incident stemmed from a domestic dispute • The suspect crashed into a business before attacking a woman • Another person shot at the suspect • The victim was transported to a hospital • The suspect was arrested; the shooter was detained This is another example of how our drone program is helping officers respond faster, track suspects more effectively, and protect lives in critical moments. This remains an ongoing investigation. Event: LLV260300091130

🐾 This Women’s History Month, we’re proud to highlight Deputy K. Simmons and Officer M. Lamb and their K9 partners.

Today, we stood alongside our brothers and sisters in law enforcement to honor fallen @LASDHQ Deputy Levi Vargas. Deputy Vargas tragically passed away after suffering a medical emergency while participating in the 2026 Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay over the weekend. As the procession moved through the valley, officers from across Southern Nevada paid their respects—standing united in remembrance, service, and sacrifice. Deputy Vargas, 30, served with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department since 2015. He began his career as a Custody Assistant before graduating from Academy Class 413 and serving in multiple assignments, most recently at San Dimas Station. He was known among his colleagues and friends for his professionalism, commitment, and compassion for the communities he served. Deputy Vargas is survived by his wife, parents, siblings, and extended family.
