I was out in the field yesterday in Simi Valley with the incredible teams from Simi Valley Police Department, Ventura County Sheriff's Office, Ventura County Behavioral Health, and Ventura County Public Health to see Backpack Medicine in action.
This program regularly brings medical care, behavioral health services, and outreach directly to people experiencing homelessness, meeting them where they are with compassion and respect.
I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with several members of our unhoused community and hear their stories firsthand. What stood out most was the genuine care and patience shown by the officers, doctors, and outreach teams. They’re not only providing immediate medical attention, but also helping connect individuals to long-term resources and programs available throughout Ventura County that can help them move toward stability and support.
Programs like this remind us that solving complex challenges requires collaboration, compassion, and meeting people where they are.
Grateful to the dedicated teams who show up day after day to serve our community. 🤝💙

Who handles law enforcement in your area? 🚔
In today’s County 101 we break down the difference between city police departments and the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, and why it depends on where you live.
Cities have their own police departments. The Sheriff’s Office serves unincorporated areas and contracts with some cities for law enforcement services.
Understanding the structure helps you know exactly who to contact when you need assistance.

We gathered at Ventura County Fire Department Station 45 to honor the life and legacy of Thomas “Tommy” James Minadeo on the one-year anniversary of his passing. ❤️🚒
Family, friends, and colleagues came together for a pancake breakfast and the unveiling of a memorial at his final duty station in Simi Valley. Tommy’s service and sacrifice to the people of Ventura County will never be forgotten.

Celebrating an incredible career and an even better person. 🤠🌅
Last Friday, Jose Rivera, Assistant Sheriff with the Ventura County Sheriff`s Office, officially begins “riding into the sunset” after more than 35 years of service. It was wonderful to see so many colleagues, friends, and family come together to celebrate. Hearing heartfelt stories from his fellow officers, and especially from his son, showed the respect and admiration Jose earned throughout his career.
Congratulations, Jose, and thank you for your decades of dedication to keeping our communities safe. Wishing you the very best in retirement! 👏
