San Mateo Police Town Hall To Address Field Operations

SAN MATEO, CA — San Mateo police in a virtual town hall later this month will provide the public with information about its Field Operations Unit and give a brief status update.

Chief Ed Barberini, Patrol Capt. Dave Peruzzaro, along with Area Lieutenants Ryan Monaghan, Art Sanchez and Matt Earnshaw will provide information about the units that comprise the SMPD’s Patrol during a presentation that will be followed by a Q&A.

The “Real Talk San Mateo - Patrol Bureau Question & Answer Forum” will be held Feb. 24 at 6 p.m. It is expected to run an hour and a half.

The meeting will be held on Zoom and can also be viewed on the SMPD’s Facebook live feed.

Questions can also be submitted in advance of the meeting by email to PDPIO@cityofsanmateo.org.

“By sharing the inner workings of our department with our community, we hope you’ll find it beneficial to better understand the nuances of law enforcement and how these units work independently and collectively to keep San Mateo a safe place to live, work and play,” the SMPD said in a statement.
