Special Olympics Torch Run

October 26, 2022 was the annual Special Olympics Law Enforcement torch run. Our cadet post assisted some of our officers in a leg of the relay. The cadets and officers enjoyed the beautiful weather in Carlsbad while running with Special Olympics athletes and Carlsbad Fire Fighters, and the FBI. Each year hundreds of Law Enforcement personnel gather to escort the Special Olympics Torch through their community and onto the next agency. This is an incredible opportunity to show support and fundraise for the Special Olympics and Special Olympic athletes. This year the So-Cal run kicked off with Chula Vista PD and ended at Camp Pendleton.

Trunk or Treat

On October 29, 2022 the police department hosted its second annual trunk or treat event. It was another awesome success, and this year our participant numbers definitely grew. These pictures speak for themselves with how much fun everyone had at the event.

Domestic Violence call

A co-worker of a woman called the police department because the woman’s husband had called them from the wife’s phone. The co-worker then heard arguing and hung up and called the police. When officers got to the house, the husband ran out of the house and out of the backyard. The wife told police that he had hit her, stolen her phone and would not let her leave the house. Officers asked ASTREA and San Diego Sheriff’s K9 to help. With the help of the husband’s cell phone and the sheriff’s units, the husband was found and arrested with no issues.
