According to Sac Sheriff, these stings were held in response to ongoing complaints from the communities in these areas regarding illegal activity and acts of prostitution. The Sheriff’s POP team says without information from community members regarding ongoing illegal behavior, they would not be able to begin to enforce permanent results to these issues.
Sac Sheriff asks the public to continue to report crimes in progress through the Sheriff’s dispatch number of 916-874-5115. Ongoing neighborhood issues can be reported by contacting your local POP Officer or reaching out to patrol area commanders through Nextdoor.com.
