Update from Susan Peter's regarding prostitution sting

You are subscribed to updates from District 3 - Susan Peters for Sacramento County. 

Dear Friends,

Please join me is congratulating the Sacramento County Sheriff’s North and South Divisions’ Problem Oriented Policing (POP) teams who in conjunction with North Division’s Patrol Deputies conducted an undercover “John Sting” prostitution operation within the 4600 block of Watt Avenue in North Highlands last week on Thursday, April 23.

Thanks to that operation, the Sheriff’s Department arrested 22 adults for prostitution related charges plus 3 additional arrests for a variety of unrelated criminal charges and outstanding arrest warrants.

The Sheriff’s Department’s POP teams conduct operations like this in response to community complaints and reports of ongoing neighborhood problems and quality of life issues. When releasing the results of the sting, theSheriff’s Department expressed thanks to community members for keeping them informed about those issues and being proactive in their neighborhoods by facilitating information about ongoing issues through attendance at community meetings, phone calls, emails and tips.

I want to reiterate the Sheriff’s Department’s desire and support for an open line of communication with residents of the unincorporated area about criminal activity occurring in our neighborhoods. If you are involved in Neighborhood Watch and/or participate via the Sheriff’s Community Meetings, thank you. If not, please consider becoming involved. Next month a series of Sheriff’s Community Meetings will be held and I hope you will consider attending. For information on dates and locations, please visit the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department website.

Thank you for caring about your neighborhood.
