West Sac PD unveils new crime statistic tool
(FOX40.COM) — On Wednesday night, the West Sacramento Police Department unveiled a new transparency tool for residents called Commons. It gives the public direct access to criminal justice data in West Sacramento.
The Commons website shares relevant crime statistics and long-term trends in West Sacramento. WSPD is working with the national non-profit Measures for Justice and has been guided by a community advisory board. It's the first of its kind in Northern California, a resource WSPD hopes will build community trust.

'It allows us to come together in that commonality around that objective information and not demote somebody's personal experience, but be able to contextualize it within that data,' said WSPD Chief Robert Strange.
Here's how to access Commons:
Go to measuresforjustice.org
Click on What We Do
Then Click Commons
Scroll down and click on California, under Where Commons is helping communities today
Finally, click EXPLORE under West Sacramento, CA
The top of the Commons dashboard features three tabs, including policy goal, police data, and city information.
WSPD's policy goal is to 'Maintain or reduce the 10.9-minute call-to-arriving times for community-generated calls through March 2026, as commitment and staffing levels change.'
Chief Strange said that the goal is in response to community concerns: 'It's a reflection of the community saying, we appreciate our officers, but we want to make sure that there's enough of you to make sure you get to those emergencies in a time frame we want you to arrive.'
West Sacramento Police and Measure for Justice will continue to update Commons quarterly to be transparent and provide reliable information.
'There will be some, some gaps in what people see on that dashboard that represent some of the goals we have in the future for what will be able to provide,' said Chief Strange. 'I think this is a product that helps create a little bit of certainty. Even in those times where it seems like some of that's shaken.'

Report: Shedeur Sanders Pulled Over By Police Tuesday Morning
Report: Shedeur Sanders Pulled Over By Police Tuesday Morning originally appeared on The Spun. Shedeur Sanders, the Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback, was reportedly pulled over by police on Tuesday morning. Advertisement Sanders, who was taken in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, was reportedly pulled over for allegedly driving faster than 100 MPH. The former Colorado Buffaloes and Jackson State quarterback was pulled over shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning. He was allegedly driving 101 MPH, more than 40 MPH faster than the speed limit. The rookie quarterback was reportedly stopped on 71 North around 12:24 a.m. on June 17, according to FOX 8 in Cleveland. He was issued a citation and he can fight the ticket in court. Shedeur Sanders was speeding, according to According to FOX 8 in Ohio, speeding has become a major issue in the state. More than 3,000 people were pulled over for driving faster than 100 MPH last year. More than 83,000 people were pulled over for driving 20 MPH faster than the speed limit. Advertisement The Ohio Traffic Safety Office sent a clear warning: 'There is no excuse for extreme speeds.' The Cleveland Browns have yet to comment on Sanders getting pulled over. The son of NFL legend Deion Sanders has made it clear that he wants to put his head down and get to work. Shedeur Sanders has been praised by teammates for staying after practice to get extra work in. ESPN NFL insider Peter Schrager recently praised Sanders based on what he had heard from those inside of the Cleveland Browns facility. "I've heard he was outstanding in the building," Schrager said about Sanders in a Tuesday appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. Advertisement Getting pulled over by the police for driving 100 MPH doesn't negate any of that, but it's not a good thing, either. NFL teams don't want to have to deal with off-the-field issues, especially with players that are borderline in terms of making the roster. It'll be interesting to see if this impacts Sanders' chances of making the browns. Report: Shedeur Sanders Pulled Over By Police Tuesday Morning first appeared on The Spun on Jun 18, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jun 18, 2025, where it first appeared.

Bulls, White Sox owner to be deposed for lawsuit after fan was shot
Chicago White Sox and Chicago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf will be deposed in a lawsuit stemming from a shooting during a White Sox game at Guaranteed Rate Field in August 2023, a Cook County judge ordered Friday, per multiple reports. The shooting has been shrouded in mystery nearly two years later. A 42-year-old woman was shot in the leg and a 26-year-old woman suffered a graze wound to the abdomen and refused medical attention. The 42-year-old woman filed a lawsuit in 2024, accusing the team of "negligence and recklessness." Videos posted to X at the time showed some panicked patrons running away from the stadium. Others were awaiting a Vanilla Ice concert at the end of the game that ended up being canceled because of "technical issues," according to a message on the scoreboard. "Due to technical issues, tonight's postgame concert has been canceled," the message read in part. "We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding." It was unclear how a weapon was able to get into the stadium in the first place. The ballpark doesn't allow for any type of weapon to be brought into the facility. "Weapons of any type, including pepper spray. It is illegal for anyone to enter or attempt to enter the ballpark with a firearm, regardless of permit," according to the park's rules. A fan previously told FOX 32 Chicago he went through a metal detector to get into the stadium. The shooting didn't stop the game from carrying on, however, as the White Sox lost to the Athletics 12-4.
