Happy to be part of a newsroom serving residents from the place I grew up and still reside in.

As a parent with a child in WCCUSD, I’m so grateful.

Exclusive: A San Pablo police car driven by a civilian jailer seriously injured a woman in North Richmond on Dec. 1, 2024. It’s still unclear why he plowed into three cars and a person, or whether charges will be filed.

A San Pablo police car seriously injured a woman in Richmond. We're investigating
There are many unanswered questions, including why was a San Pablo jailer driving a police vehicle in Richmond? Will charges be filed?
