MARYSVILLE, CA (MPG) - The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health has issued citations to the City of Marysville concerning the tragic incident that occurred earlier this year, which claimed the life of one of our police officers while serving in the line of duty. This devastating loss occurred during a multi-jurisdictional operation as part of an investigation into a drug trafficking network.

The City of Marysville continues to mourn the loss of our fallen officer and remains steadfastly committed to upholding the highest operational standards in all law enforcement activities. Our personnel undergo comprehensive training designed to maximize both operational effectiveness and officer safety in the performance of their duties.

The City of Marysville will appeal the citations. Because this is an ongoing litigation matter, we cannot discuss more at this time.
