Muti-agency effort assists Alameda County Sheriff’s Office

By Hercules Police Department

Hercules Police Department officers recently assisted the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office with the arrest of two wanted suspects.

Upon locating the suspects in a vehicle at the Dylan Apartment Complex on John Muir Parkway, officers observed that both suspects were asleep and that one had a pistol resting on his lap.

Recognizing the potential for a dangerous and rapidly evolving situation, officers developed and implemented a tactical plan centered on time, distance, communication, and de-escalation. Through patience, coordination and sound police tactics, the situation was resolved safely, and both suspects were taken into custody without further incident.

This operation was a strong example of the importance of interagency cooperation and teamwork. We extend our sincere appreciation to our allied agency partners who assisted:

  • Vallejo Police Department — K-9
  • Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office
  • San Pablo Police Department — SWAT
  • Pinole Police Department
  • Pittsburg Police Department

The hard work, professionalism, and dedication of frontline law enforcement officers can never be overstated. Kudos to every officer and deputy who worked together to bring this incident to a safe resolution.

Efforts have been made to reach the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office and Hercules Police Department for more details, including the names of the suspects and what they were wanted for, as no police activity is shown on the department’s CitizenRims crime map for that location since August 1st, nor are addresses included in the list of arrests dating back to Aug. 28th. Please check back later for any updates.

      Exactly what I want to know. Why would you write something like this and leave everybody hanging us what they were wanted for or rested for?

    Exactly what I wanted to know. Why would you write an article this short? And yes kudos to cops. But tell us what the hell the guys were wanted for. That’s ridiculous that you didn’t
