On this day we honor the brave Americans who met the terror of September 11 with extraordinary acts of courage and sacrifice.
Thousands of Americans died in the events of that day and thousands more in the years to come as our country sought justice for the terrorists acts committed against our country.
On this day let us remember the sacrifice of our fellow Americans and honor their memory.

One of our Placer County Deputies recently received news that no family deserves to hear…their 2-year old son Louie was diagnosed with leukemia.
In the coming weeks and months our Deputy will be away from work and supporting his son and family through the treatment process.
A GoFundMe donation link has been established and all the proceeds will go to the family to help offset the costs of treatment for little Louie.
We would greatly appreciate any donations to the Forneris family in this very difficult time.
❤️❤️❤️
Our hearts go out to the men and women of the San Diego Police Department, and the family and friends of Officer Austin Machitar.
Officer Zachary Martinez is in our thoughts and prayers, as he battles to overcome his injuries.
Great work by our Detectives in bringing criminals to justice!
Shoutout to Impact Axe for hosting our members for a night of family fun and instruction on how to properly throw an axe!
Good times had by all!

Reposted from the Roseville Police Department:
Today we honor the 5-year anniversary of Roseville Police Officer Cameron “Cam” Landon’s passing.
The Roseville Police Department welcomed Cameron in 2015, where he became a beloved officer and member of our SWAT Team.
Cameron bravely served our country in the United States Marine Corps from 2005 to 2009, completing a tour in Iraq. He returned home to Grass Valley and began his law enforcement career as a Corrections Officer with the Nevada County Sheriff’s Department before becoming an Officer with the Grass Valley Police Department in 2013.
We continue to honor his service and passing on July 16, 2019. Officer Landon was 36 years old at the time of his passing and left behind his wife Angela, and sons Wyatt, Weston, and Walker. Angela and her sons came by the RPD today, getting to go inside the SWAT vehicle for the team Cameron proudly served on.
Throughout the day today, our officers are doing a special workout in honor of Cameron, with officers from every shift doing 3 rounds in honor of his 3 sons.
Cameron will forever be missed, and never be forgotten.

On this day in 1965, Deputy Arden Webster was tragically killed in the line of duty during an early morning traffic stop. Deputy Webster had made a traffic stop on Interstate 80 in Roseville when he was struck and killed by a pick-up truck.
Webster and his partner, Deputy Bud Murray, had been dispatched to the area after Sergeant Don Nunes and Roseville police officers stopped a taxicab they believed was associated with an armed robbery in Reno. When they determined it was not involved, they returned to their cars and Webster was hit by the truck being driven by a local Penryn man.
Webster was Auburn’s first official police officer in the 1930’s and served with the Lincoln Police Department. Webster had lived on Joeger Road in Auburn. He was survived by his wife, three sons, and two daughters and was buried in the New Auburn Cemetery. He was 58 years old.
We will never forget his sacrifice. 🕯
On this day in 1978, Deputy James Machado was shot and killed with his own service weapon during a struggle with an escaped mental patient in Auburn.
With the help of citizens who witnessed the shooting, officers from California Highway Patrol and the Auburn Police Department quickly located the suspect near Interstate 80 and Highway 49. When the suspect confronted the officers with Deputy Machado’s service weapon, the officers fired several shotgun rounds at the suspect. The suspect was killed. Law enforcement officers from throughout the state attended the funeral of Deputy Machado.
In 2008, Deputy Machado was posthumously awarded the Placer County Sheriff’s Purple Heart award.
James had served the Sheriff’s Office for 4 years. He was survived by his wife, Nancy, and three young children; Jim, 7; Joy, 3; and Jeanne, 1.
