For example, in 2020 officers made 6,274 total stops; however, only 3,713 were adjudicated with some form of a citation - 341 of which were courtesy citations.

In the first collision, the pedestrian was found to be the party at fault. The second collision resulted in misdemeanor vehicle manslaughter charges. The traffic team has adopted a more strategic approach to traffic enforcement focusing on when and where collisions and complaints are occurring. This is done through a balance of reviewing statistical collision data and being responsive to traffic complaints. Traffic officers have implemented a system to track the use of our radar trailers in order to maximize their deployment in the most effective areas and will be moving to full implementation of e-citations to streamline the processing of citations through the court Police Department process.

The Department continues to invest in serving the unhoused with two dedicated officers. In the past year, approximately 20 residents were placed into temporary or permanent housing. Some of the previously unhoused found shelter through the Safer Ground program in Livermore. Safer Ground closed on July 31 and while some of the residents were placed into longer-term housing solutions others will likely return to Pleasanton which will result in an increased presence, encampments and calls for service.
