Latest Press Releases

Please be advised

As of 2020, UCPO makes every effort to remove press releases associated with arrests that eventually result in dismissal or acquittal of all charges against all defendants from its archives.  If you observe such a press release that we have missed in your review of our archives, please alert us by sending an email to UCPOmedia@ucpo.org.

To members of the press, kindly submit your inquiry via email to UCPOmedia@ucpo.org and we will endeavor to share as much information as we are able.  We appreciate the public service performed by journalists and rely on your journalistic ethics to keep the residents of this county informed about matters of public safety. Thank you for your work and your interest in the work of our Office.
