The Sacramento Police Department was shocked and saddened by the events that took place in the Dallas area yesterday.  These senseless acts are incomprehensible and have impacted law enforcement around the nation, including here in Sacramento.

The Sacramento Police Department condemns all acts of violence and remains committed to keeping everyone safe in our community.  Locally, we have been working towards developing strong relationships with the community we serve and appreciate their support during this difficult time.   

Today, we mourn the lives of the 5 police officers who were killed while protecting the first amendment rights of the citizens in their community. Our deepest sympathies go out to the families of the victims who will be forever impacted by this tragedy. We hope for a speedy recovery for those injured during the attack and pray for the community of Dallas during this challenging time.
