Today was set aside to remember those who gave everything. Peace Officer Memorial Day brought our community together to honor every man and woman who fell in the line of duty in San Joaquin County. We joined Stockton Police Department for a countywide ceremony, held our own memorial service at the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, and closed the day with a visitation to honor our own. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

On June 1, 2025, what began as a critical incident quickly became a powerful example of courage, teamwork, and selfless service. Last month, Deputy Bergren was recognized by the Tracy Fire Department with a Heroism and Bravery Award for his life-saving actions during that incident. Arriving first on scene to an overturned vehicle in a drainage ditch, Deputy Bergren worked alongside courageous community members to rescue trapped occupants. When one victim was found unresponsive and not breathing in the water, Deputy Bergren helped bring him to safety and immediately began life-saving efforts alongside responding personnel. Because of their swift and decisive actions, the victim regained breathing. We are incredibly proud of Deputy Bergren and grateful for the teamwork shown alongside our partners and community members. This is what it means to serve.

Earlier this week, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office reached a major milestone with the opening of the Dorothy J. Heisler Detention and Programs Facility (DAP) in French Camp. This state of the art facility focuses on achieving real results through modern infrastructure. Key features include a dedicated 12 bed mental health unit and expanded classrooms for job skills training in fields like electrical work and construction. Our goal is to reduce recidivism by ensuring individuals return to the community better prepared for the future than when they arrived. We are grateful to our County leadership and partners for their support in making this vision a reality.

Today marks 44 years since we lost two of our own. Deputy Michael Coleman and his father, Floyd Coleman, on the same day, in the same tragedy. Michael joined the Sheriff’s Office as a cadet in 1972, sworn in by Sheriff Michael N. Canlis. When he was promoted to deputy, it was his proud father, Floyd, who pinned the gold star on his chest. That bond between father and son would define their legacy forever. Floyd was no stranger to service himself. A member of the Sheriff’s Auxiliary since 1954, he dedicated decades to this department as our range master. On the afternoon of March 25, 1982, Deputy Coleman was working with the Metropolitan Narcotics Task Force alongside Stockton Police Officer Larry Moore when they moved to serve a warrant in the 2400 block of East Acacia Street. As officers announced themselves at the door, a woman inside opened fire. Though stationed in the front yard without his ballistic vest, Michael moved forward when his fellow officers encountered trouble. Because that’s who he was. He was struck, but despite being mortally wounded, he returned fire, emptying all six rounds from his revolver before collapsing on the front lawn. Floyd was on duty at the department range when word came. Deputies rushed him to St. Joseph’s Hospital. He never made it inside. He suffered a fatal heart attack steps from the door, his heart giving out before he could reach his son. The physician who pronounced Floyd Coleman gone then walked into the next room and pronounced Michael Coleman gone. Five minutes later. They were buried side by side at St. John’s Catholic Cemetery in Escalon. Our firearms range bears their names, a permanent tribute to a father and son who gave everything to this community. We remember them both. Always.

After more than two decades of dedicated service, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office proudly congratulates Custody Public Information Officer Jennifer “Jenn Jenn” Kline on her retirement. Jenn began her career on July 31, 2000, as a Correctional Officer, working across all three jail facilities including Jail Core, South Jail, and the Honor Farm, on both day and night shifts. Early on, she became a Correctional Training Officer, helping train and mentor many new Correctional Officer Trainees. In 2004, she was selected by her peers to join the Peer Support Team, where she remained a trusted and active member throughout her career. From 2008 to 2013, Jenn served on the Transition Team and played a key role in securing an $80 million grant for a new jail facility, reflecting her commitment to improving operations for both staff and those in custody. In 2019, she stepped into her role as a full-time Custody Public Information Officer, where she truly made her mark. From covering incidents and events to coordinating the Citizens Academy, Jenn handled it all with professionalism and unmatched attention to detail. She also played a major role in the success of the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Ball, one of the agency’s largest fundraisers, ensuring it made a meaningful impact year after year. Within the PIO unit, Jenn was the core that kept everything running smoothly, always one step ahead and naturally filling the role of team mom. Her loyalty to the office was unmatched, and her presence will be deeply missed. Jenn dedicated her career to serving the people of San Joaquin County, often sacrificing time with her own family to care for her work family. We wish her a well-deserved and happy retirement.

After years of dedicated service to the people of San Joaquin County, Detective Sterni is retiring from the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office. Throughout his career, he served with professionalism, commitment, and pride. At the same time, his son, Deputy Sterni, has just completed the Field Training Officer (FTO) program and is beginning his career on patrol. It’s a special moment for the Sterni family and for our office…seeing one generation step away from the badge while another carries it forward.
