Chief of Police for 10th largest city in the US. Proud to serve and lead the Officers of the San Jose Police Department. Twitter account is not monitored 24/7.

































Last night, two of our beloved SJPD Community Service Officers were struck by a vehicle and critically injured while conducting traffic control for an unrelated incident on Monterey Road. One of the two CSO's has tragically succumbed to his injuries. Our entire police family is heartbroken by this line of duty death, and our collective arms are around his family, friends, and teammates as we all cope with this painful incident. We are also praying for our other CSO who suffered major injuries during the traffic collision and is still hospitalized. May she have a speedy recovery. The driver who struck our fallen brother has been arrested and is suspected of driving under the influence. We are still actively investigating, and Acting Chief Paul Joseph will be providing more information on our fallen CSO and the investigation at a press conference tomorrow. This is the first CSO line-of-duty death in SJPD history. We pray it will be the last.
