Good morning, Stockton.
A sudden loss like this is more than a headline. It’s a family grieving and a department adjusting to an empty chair.
A San Joaquin County sheriff’s sergeant died Tuesday after an on-duty medical emergency. Vince Medina reports that officials remembered Sgt. Jason Whelen for nearly two decades of service and described him as a proud husband and father of four.
We’re also following continued changes at RTD, where two longtime board directors have resigned, an arrest in a December homicide case in Stockton and calls from councilmembers and residents urging the city to offer Police Chief Stanley McFadden a contract.
Thank you for starting your morning with us. We’ll keep covering the stories that matter to Stockton and the people who call it home.
