Our hearts ache with sadness at the loss of this officer. We are sending prayers to the entire VVPD family, the Bowen family, the fire and hospital responders and our community. 💙💙🙏

It is with profound sadness that we are announcing the passing of our brother Matthew Bowen. Matt was conducting a traffic stop when another vehicle collided with him. Vacaville Fire Dept. along with medical staff from Kaiser valiantly fought to save Matt however he succumbed to his injuries and passed away. He is survived by his wife and two sons. On this day, time stood still for our Association and Department. Thank you all for sending prayers, officers from agencies through out the Bay Area and Sacramento regions assisting with the precession. CHP for all you have done. There are no words, from our hearts thank you. More details will be provided by in the coming days.

It's my annual reminder to refill those meds! I know most of you don't keep your dogs outside on nights like this. If you have to, please check and secure those fences now!

NOW is the time to secure fencing, make sure your gates latch, refill those anxiety medications, put a tag with info on the collar, ensure microchip information is up to date (or get one! $24 at SCAC) .

Don't wait until July 3rd, the fireworks are coming.

Throw it again! And again! And again!

What do you think would happen if you threw it again? Sometimes it seems like we enjoy playing fetch more than our dogs do. And this pup is definitely ready for a break!
