Public discussion · Finding CITY-F1

The City of Vallejo’s failure to develop a plan after the Sheriff contract’s expiration of December 31, 2026, can jeopardize the citizens of Vallejo by extending response times. Even with the 7 potential new officers in various phases of training, it can take up to two years for those officers to be ready to fully do the job, with only 3 of those currently in field training.
