Community Corner

Neighborhood Meet and Greet

We are inviting you to come out and join us as we meet our new neighborhood policing officer, Rodney Brisner, and each other.  We are gathering to meet Officer Brisner, and to share in food and good conversation. Please bring a dish to share if you so choose.


As some of you may or may not know, Seargeant Paul Starsyk of the Martinez Police Department was killed in the line of duty on Sept. 6, 2008. The Martinez Police Officer's Association is actively seeking donations for the cost of appropriate signs for the " Paul Starsyk Memorial Crossing" to be put at the Pine Street Crossing. The estimated cost of this is $5,000.00. This is a wonderful way to honor Seargeant Starsyk, so there is going to be a donation jar at our meeting. Any amount you can contribute will be gratefully accepted. the jar will be turned over to Officer Brisner at the close of the our meeting.


We look forward to meeting all of you, the more we know our neighbors, the more we will continue to be a safe and thriving community.
