Vallejo officials asks for federal help to improve police-community relations

Vallejo City Manager Greg Nyhoff has formally invited the U.S. Department of Justice’s Community Relations Service to help the city “improve community and police relations.”

“Having strength is knowing when to ask for help, and that time is now,” Vallejo Mayor Bob Sampayan said in a statement. “I welcome the wisdom and insights of the DOJ Community Relations Service to improve our police department and assist with elevating the level of community engagement with our residents.”
