2nd Fire at Quarry Lakes Today

Fremont Fire fighters are trying to access a grass fire in the area of Shinn and the Alameda Creek Trail and BART right now.  Earlier this morning they were over near the entrance to Quarry Lakes.  Sounds like an engine company has a line to the fire now.  The captain is requesting the BART line be shut down as the fire is right up to the third rail.

FPD Twitter

Reviewing one week's worth of tweets from Fremont PD I found exactly four tweets.  One was the weekly (should be daily) blotter,  another was about the motor unit competing in Fairfield.  And something about a 5K run.  And a retweet about animals in heat.  I mean animals out in the heat. Still no news about the Niles homicide.  No news about helping people during the heat wave.  Sadly, pretty much business as usual.  Again, we are on the edge of Silicon Valley and the PD is not using social media anywhere near its potential.

Fremont Police Department participated in the Fairfield Motor Competition this past weekend. Officer Ramsey took 1st and Officer Malcomson took 2nd in the BMW blue classification. Congratulations to all who participated and great job Officer Ramsey and Officer Malcomson.

Is Conservatorship The Answer to Clean Fremont Streets of Mentally Ill?

I've been pushing for some way to take the chronic mentally ill that can't care for themselves and act out in public off the streets.  Little did I know that San Francisco has been working on legislation to accomplish this for over a year now.  SB 1405 authorizes S.F, L.A. and San Diego to involuntarily remove individuals from the streets if they have been 5150d at least 8 times in the past year.  They would then be housed and treated for their problems.  Here is a story about it from KQED:

If successful, perhaps the authority will be granted statewide and then Fremont will have a legal means to remove these troubled people that have no business roaming the streets.  They need help- not jail.  The 5150 mental health 72 hour hold is not working for many of the problem people on our streets.  Something permanent is needed.

Man, it is hot outside.   At one point today I saw 103 reported!

AirBnB Gone Bad on Curtner

At a large  party at an AirBnB on Curtner last night a person said a man threaten to shoot somebody in the closet. A gun was not observed but about 15 people were in the house.  Numerous Fremont officers responded code 3. After arriving they pulled about 15 people out of the house with their hands up.  As of this writing it is unknown if any arrests were made.

Car Jack and Pursuit

Details are limited but a victim was robbed and car jacked around 12:30 this morning.  Suspect vehicle located in the neighborhood west of the Hub.  Suspect tried to ram police vehicle and pursuit started.  Pursuit ended near Mowry and Blacow.  At least one of four suspects arrested.
Update- looks like this occurred up Morrison Canyon where a guy was robbed of his house keys and car. Sounds like involved knew each other and met up there.  Drug deal gone bad?
