SRO Gomez made a few stops today at Julien Elementary, Wakefield Elementary, Osborn Elementary, and Dutcher Middle School!

No presentations or special events planned. Just an opportunity to spend some time with students, hand out stickers, and get to know some of the younger faces in our community.

Judging by these photos, we’d say he made quite a few new friends today! 😂💙☺️

Our officers assisted the Modesto Police Department with the ex*****on of a search warrant here in Turlock as part of a larger investigation into drug trafficking.

Great work by Modesto PD and all agencies involved in bringing this investigation together!

The Modesto Police Department’s Narcotics Enforcement Team (MNET) has been investigating a drug trafficking organization operating in Modesto. On October 8, that long-term investigation culminated in the simultaneous ex*****on of search warrants at multiple locations.

The operation resulted in the seizure of more than 30 pounds of methamphetamine, approximately $90,000 in U.S. currency, and one fi***rm. The primary investigative target was arrested.

MNET quickly developed the investigative information and coordinated the resources needed to move forward on a compressed timeline. The Crime Reduction Team, Property Crimes Unit, Violent Crime Unit, and Field Operations stepped up to help address all three locations safely and simultaneously. The Turlock Police Department and FBI also provided valuable assistance.

This operation reflects the outstanding investigative work and teamwork of everyone involved in disrupting the trafficking of dangerous narcotics in our community.

Fatal Traffic Collision Under Investigation

On October 10, 2026, at around 5:30 p.m., the Turlock Police Department received a report of a collision involving a vehicle and a juvenile riding an electric motorcycle, commonly referred to as an “e-moto,” in the area of Tokay Avenue and Old Vineyard Road.

Officers arrived and located a 14-year-old boy who was not breathing. Officers immediately began CPR and continued lifesaving efforts until fire personnel arrived. Despite their efforts, the juvenile was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The driver of the vehicle remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. At this time, investigators do not believe drugs or alcohol were a factor in the collision.

The Turlock Police Department’s Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) was activated and has taken over the investigation. The circumstances leading up to the collision remain under investigation, and no further details are available at this time.

This tragedy is also an important reminder for parents and guardians about the very real risks associated with e-motos and similar high-powered electric vehicles.

We ask our community to keep everyone impacted by this collision in their thoughts and to give the family privacy during an incredibly difficult time.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or has information that may assist investigators is encouraged to contact Officer Allison at (209) 664-7398.
