MILESTONES

I have just completed my first full year as Chief of Police in Hughson. This

year has included some great memories as the community has welcomed and

embraced law enforcement and our deputies assigned to this city.

We have experienced some transfer of deputies out of Hughson as they went

on to gain other experience in the Sheriff’s Department and advance their

careers in law enforcement. Each one of them brought their own personality

to the community and their experience will be missed. But as we usher them

out, we welcome a fresh crew of dedicated deputies.

Many of these deputies are fairly new to our department, but they bring a

wealth of life experiences with them. A couple of the newly assigned deputies

bring several years of experience from our Armed Services. One of the

deputies is still active in one branch of the military. Our Community Resource

Deputy has a couple years of experience in Hughson. He brings a great deal of

continuity to our team from his knowledge of the community.

We have a newly assigned sergeant to Hughson Police Services. He is not new

to the Sheriff’s Department. He is the most senior sergeant we have. He has

extensive experience which includes detectives, contract city patrol, K-9 and

range master. I am sure he will bring our team together to ensure proactive

crime prevention and response while maintaining the highest degree of

professionalism.

On November 13, 2016 our own Deputy Dennis Wallace was killed in the line

of duty. This day will not be forgotten by our department or by the

community he served and lived in. Dennis touched so many lives through his

service and his personal dedication to this community. We will strive to

continue his legacy and commitment to the community of Hughson.

Our staff at Hughson Police Services continues to be dedicated to your

community. We attend several community events such as; Love Hughson,

Trunk or Treat, Hughson Fruit and Nut Festival and the Christmas Parade.

Hughson Police Services will continue hands on correspondence with all City,

4

State, County and Federal Departments as well as with the Hughson

Community.

Hughson Police Services has presence on “Face Book” and “Next Door”.

Social media is a useful tool to keep the citizens of Hughson aware of what is

happening in their community. It is also a means for the citizens of Hughson

to provide constructive feedback and neighborhood concerns. Our

Community Resource Deputy monitors both “Facebook” and “Next Door”

sites.
