Vacaville Police Officers' Association

The Vacaville Police Officers’ Association is proud to serve the citizens of Vacaville each and every day. Our organization prides itself on delivering a high level of customer service; a service we feel is not only a privilege but an expectation by our community.

For the past several years, Vacaville has faced a shortage of Police Officers and Dispatchers. Despite these shortages, our association has maintained to provide high-level of service to the Vacaville community and held high standards for our members, understanding the importance of having respectful, courageous and overall well-rounded dispatchers and officers.

Recently, the decision was made to shutter one of our specialty units whose responsibilities included addressing quality of life issues, and diligently working to provide housing assistance to the homeless in our city. This decision wasn’t made lightly; however, staffing shortages were resulting in high overtime costs associated with ensuring enough officers were available for emergency response throughout the day.

In addition to this, the costs of our equipment - the equipment we need for the safety of the public and our members and to address the many unknowns we are called to, continues to rise. The cost of radios, vehicle safety equipment, and police vehicles - have significantly increased. New state laws require additional equipment, additional training and additional considerations - but don’t provide the funding to help meet these requirements.

We understand the apprehension toward increasing taxes, and trust us when we say many of our members feel the same. However, we also understand the significant increase in costs to providing necessary services to our community. These costs keep Vacaville safe and maintain the level of service that has kept many of you - and many of us, living here in our city.

The Vacaville Police Officers’ Association supports Measure V so that Vacaville has the resources it needs to have enough Officers present, to keep emergency-response times low, and keep our community safe. We believe Measure V will ensure emergency-services are prepared and ready when you need us.

Today, law enforcement officers from across the state joined forces with our fire partners to march at the Capitol in Sacramento in support of AB 1383. AB 1383 has passed through California’s Congress and is headed to Governor Newsom’s desk for signature. Please join us in urging Gov. Newsom to sign AB 1383 ✍️🆎1️⃣3️⃣8️⃣3️⃣

What is AB 1383?
AB 1383 will make much needed changes to retirement benefits through the safety formula of PEPRA. This will allow state and local agencies to negotiate with bargaining units for a 3% at 55 formula. This change can have an immense effect on public safety retention and recruitment - as Officers/Firefighters currently have to work until 57 in order to retire. In public safety roles, the wear and tear on our minds and bodies simply should not have to go on that long. We are asking Governor Newsom to keep Californian’s safe - and sign AB 1383 into law.

Two years since you were taken from this world. Two years that your family has been without you. Two years since you last hugged your boys, or kissed your wife. Two years that you shouldn’t have missed. Two years you would’ve embraced. Two years..

Two years ago, our member and brother Matthew Bowen was killed in the line of duty. Matt was more than just an Officer. He was a father, a husband, a son, a brother, and a friend to so many. 7.11.24 is etched in our memory forever. Not just because it’s the date you were taken from us, because it is the day that we will always pause and remember you for the man you were to us all, the impact you made, the kind smile you showed.

We miss you brother. M3, 854, Matthew Bowen 🇺🇸🕊️ EOW 7.11.24
