Four years ago the morning brought us a tragedy we hadn’t known. One of our own was taken from us. Today and always, we stand with our brothers and sisters in honoring and remembering Ty.

Never forgotten ⚫️🔵⚫️🇺🇸

It’s hard to believe it’s been four years since we think of you every single day, Ty.

On the morning of January 21, 2022, Officer Tyler “Ty” Lenehan was on duty riding his police motorcycle on southbound Highway 99, in Sacramento. An intoxicated driver, with a DUI record, was traveling in the wrong direction, on a divided section of the highway and struck Ty head on. The driver was taken into custody. Despite lifesaving efforts by emergency responders at the scene and staff at the University of California, Davis Medical Center, Ty succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

Before becoming a Police Officer, Ty served in the United States Air Force as an Aircraft Structural Maintenance Journeyman and worked side-by-side with his father as an electrician. He began working towards a career in law enforcement in 2012 attending the Sacramento Regional Public Safety Training Center (SRPSTC), American River College (ARC) Academy. That same year, Ty became a Reserve Police Officer with the Citrus Heights Police Department. In 2014, he was hired as a Police Officer by the Galt Police Department and transitioned into becoming a Motor Officer. Ty joined the Elk Grove Police Department in 2016 and again followed his passion to be a Motor Officer.

Ty will forever be missed but never forgotten.

📢 Important Announcement: End of Watch Crab Feed Cancellation

We regret to inform you that this year’s End of Watch Crab Feed has been canceled.
