Today a local citizen was driving on Pine Street when a nearby resident pointed what appeared to be a gun at him. The victim did not know the suspect and had no idea why he would point a gun at him. Our Special Investigations Unit worked with the patrol division, and ultimately served a search warrant in the 500 block of Pine Street. The investigation culminated in the arrest of Gerardo Zurita Reyes for an unrelated vandalism case, resisting or delaying an officer, possession of a controlled substance and brandishing what turned out to be a replica handgun.

Due to the proximity of the house to nearby schools, we wanted to let the public know that school staff was notified in advance, and steps were taken to ensure the safety of the students.

One of the strengths of a team like the Special Investigations Unit, is its investigative flexibility, and capability of rapidly deploying to support patrol operations. Thank you to all of our officers and dispatchers for your fast, professional work.

🎉 Celebrating 30 Years of Service — Please join us in congratulating Dispatcher Joe Lopez on his well-deserved retirement! 🎉

Today, we celebrated Public Safety Dispatcher Joe Lopez and his 30 years of dedicated service to our department and community.

Throughout his career, Joe has demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and a genuine commitment to helping others. From working New Year’s Eve during the Y2K transition to assisting allied agencies with investigations, monitoring cameras and providing support to officers in the field, and going above and beyond to replace a walker stolen from an elderly woman, Joe has made a difference in countless ways. His kindness and willingness to help others have always extended beyond the dispatch console.

Joe’s strong work ethic, dependability, and dedication have been evident throughout his career. He has been someone his fellow officers and coworkers could count on, always taking pride in his work and doing his part to support the department.

After 30 years, Joe leaves behind a legacy of hard work, teamwork, and compassion for the people he served. His contributions to our department and community will not be forgotten.

👏 Thank you, Dispatcher Lopez, for 30 years of outstanding service and dedication! Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement. We wish you all the best as you begin this next chapter.

Happy retirement, Joe! 💙

It’s been talked about for so many years that some of us thought we’d see flying cars on Avenue 17 first. Elon even tried to beat them with his flying Roadster reveal last week, but neither made it to full production before opening day: the new casino officially opens this week!

While it took ages to get here, the traffic is going to arrive all at once. Expect heavy congestion and delays along the Avenue 17 corridor.

To prevent total gridlock at the Avenue 17 overpass, advisory detour routes and digital signage have been mapped out to help spread out the opening rush:
• Coming from the south: Take Highway 99 to the Avenue 12 exit, head west to Road 23, and take Road 23 north straight to the venue.
• Coming from the north: Utilize the Avenue 18 ½ off-ramp, following traffic flaggers positioned at key intersections.

The Madera Police Department will have dedicated officers along the Avenue 17 corridor daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM throughout the opening week to handle any emergencies.

If Avenue 17 or Road 23 is part of your daily commute, give yourself extra time, plan an alternate route, and pack a little extra patience. Let’s keep Madera moving safely!

Officers recently investigated a burglary at a business in the 500 block of W. Yosemite Avenue. During the investigation, officers obtained surveillance footage of the suspect.

Yesterday, Officer Diaz was on patrol when he recognized an individual matching the description of the suspect captured in the video. The individual, identified as Andres Ramos, a Madera resident in his 40s, was contacted. Through further investigation, Officer Diaz identified Ramos as the suspect in the burglary. Ramos was also wearing clothing consistent with that seen in the surveillance footage.

Ramos was arrested and booked into the Madera County Jail for burglary.

The Madera Police Department remains committed to protecting our community and holding those who commit crimes accountable. We encourage residents and business owners to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity to the Madera Police Department.
