Fremont Streets Closing

As my loyal readers have noticed, I have not posted much at all this month.  I have not found the time nor interest to continue this blog, as much as it is needed in the community.  For my 100-150 loyal readers, I wish there was a place to point you to for Fremont crime news, but I know of none.  FPD is talking about bringing back the Patrol Blotter.  That really is key in informing the community of crime.  It is sad that neighboring police departments provide much more info on a daily basis to their citizens.  If you have Twitter, I am somewhat active there as @ScannerFremont.  The FPD Dispatch live feed via Broadcastify will continue for now, but technology changes may force it off the air by October. 
I will leave the blog intact for a week or so so everyone will have a chance to see this final post.  Stay safe everyone!

Update on Police Activity in Niles Last Week

From FPD :

Over the last several weeks, numerous convenience stores have been burglarized throughout the Bay Area.  The suspects have been targeting businesses for lottery tickets and cigarettes.  On July 5th, the suspects burglarized the Arco gas station located in the 35000 block of Fremont Bl.  The suspects stole several thousand dollars worth of cigarettes and approximately $3500 worth of lottery tickets.

Video surveillance of the suspects were recovered by Detectives who then developed potential leads on their identities. 

On July 8th, Patrol and Street Crimes Unit Officers responded to the 37000 block of 3rd St. in the Niles District for a report of two subjects arguing.  Officers arrived on scene and detained several subjects at an unoccupied residence.  Officers also located a stolen vehicle at the residence while they were searching the residence. 

While searching the interior of the residence with a K9 unit, Officers discovered that a subject was possibly hiding in the attic.  Officers provided multiple warnings to the subject in the attic, however he refused to surrender.  Officers delivered several pepperball rounds into the attic near the suspect’s location.  This caused the suspect to immediately surrender.  Pepperball rounds are small projectiles filled with a chemical agent irritant.

40 year old Jacy Meier (transient of Fremont) and 32 year old Jazzmin Barboza (transient of Fremont) were arrested for multiple felony counts of burglary.  Evidence from the search was recovered linking the pair to crimes throughout the region.  They were both booked at Fremont Jail and released with a September court date due to the zero bail guidelines. 

Meier is currently on probation for drug sales of a controlled substance.  He has numerous previous arrests for drug sales, drug possession, possession of firearms, possession of stolen vehicles, and possession of stolen property. 

Barboza has numerous previous arrests for drug possession, burglary, and various other theft related crimes. 

Detectives are coordinating additional cases with multiple outside agencies involving Meier and Barboza.

Police Activity in Niles

Just before 1 o'clock this afternoon several officers conducted a probation search on a home near the 3rd Street Park in Niles, according to radio traffic.  Several people were detained and a number of items that may be stolen property, including stolen mail,  were located, according to radio conversations.  A short time later a number of vehicle VIN numbers were run off of Shinn Street by the homeless enforcement sergeant.  I don't know if this was related to the probation search or not, but at least one stolen vehicle was located, either on Shinn or in Niles.  There was a lot of activity between patrol officers and detectives.

San Bruno Police Make Fireworks Arrests

You know if FPD made a few fireworks related arrests they would be bragging about it.  Little San Bruno PD was able to catch and cite 35 people!!  For FPD, this was just not a priority and we citizens paid for it with loss of sleep, fire suppression costs, etc.

Another Fire Reported Up On Vargas Road

Wildland fire crews are responding to Vargas Road for another vegetation fire.  Company on scene is unable to locate so far.  Could be west on Morrison Canyon.  Update- homeowners saw fireworks and smoke, but apparently no fire developed.  Crews are clearing.

Another Naked Female Call

In one of the parking lots at Mowry and Blacow is a white female in her 30s sans clothing.  She is touching cars and was last seen heading towards a laundromat.  Perhaps killing time while her clothes clean?

FPD Crime Map via CityProtect.com

This is a tool the PD has had for some time, but it does require a few minutes to get the Fremont info set up.  I don't think this should be a substitute for the Patrol Blotter that used to arrived daily in your email box.  From FPD Nixle:


Explore the community crime map with CityProtect.com

We understand it is always important to be informed and know when, where, and what types of reports we respond to in and around your neighborhood. We’d like to make all of our community members aware of CityProtect.com, previously known as CrimeReports.com. CityProtect.com offers a mobile-friendly website which allows users to explore a crime map of their community with up to 180 days of data. The Fremont Police Department participates in the public crime map feature which promotes transparency and advocates for crime prevention awareness. This tool provides automated mapping of incidents with frequent data updates.

City Protect is the only public portal the Fremont Police Department shares report information with. Police reports are generally updated within 72 hours, or less, but can sometimes take more time if the investigation is ongoing. Please understand that this is a representation of crime and is not all-inclusive. It is important to note that some police report types change as the circumstances of an investigation become known and the time listed, is the time of the report and not necessarily the time of the actual incident. This service does not reflect official crime index totals as reported to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting program however, that information is available on our website fremontpolice.gov/transparency. The number of crimes in tables and reports may not be fully reflected in the map due to address data not geocoding. Our goal in offering a community crime map option is to inspire a partnership and empower community members to help shape public safety and improve quality of life.

The Fremont Police Department is always looking for new ways to enhance our community engagement efforts. We feel it is important to give our community various ways to connect with us. We offer crime alerts in various forms which include but do not limit to; NIXLE, Facebook, Twitter, Nextdoor, Neighbors by Ring app, and Instagram. We have received positive feedback with these realms of communication and feel compelled to re-share information on how residents and businesses can stay up to date with crime by utilizing Cityprotect.com.
