In 1951, William Elam began his term as the elected Placer County Sheriff. He ran against four men, including the incumbent, E. J. Kenison, and won. Elam had served 19 years with the Roseville Police Department, including a time as Chief of Police, before being elected sheriff. Sheriff Elam was credited with the use of radio transmitters in sheriff’s office vehicles.
He died on October 1st, when his car went off the road near Tahoe City. He had gone to the Lake Tahoe area to serve civil papers and check with deputies. With no witnesses, it was never determined how Elam died. However, speculation was that his car skidded on the wet highway and went out of control. The vehicle plunged down a 100’ cliff at Dollar Hill and Sheriff Elam was killed. He was 46 years old and left behind a wife and two children.

One of our Placer County Deputies recently received news that no family deserves to hear…their 2-year old son Louie was diagnosed with leukemia.
In the coming weeks and months our Deputy will be away from work and supporting his son and family through the treatment process.
A GoFundMe donation link has been established and all the proceeds will go to the family to help offset the costs of treatment for little Louie.
We would greatly appreciate any donations to the Forneris family in this very difficult time.
❤️❤️❤️

Reposted from the Roseville Police Department:
Today we honor the 5-year anniversary of Roseville Police Officer Cameron “Cam” Landon’s passing.
The Roseville Police Department welcomed Cameron in 2015, where he became a beloved officer and member of our SWAT Team.
Cameron bravely served our country in the United States Marine Corps from 2005 to 2009, completing a tour in Iraq. He returned home to Grass Valley and began his law enforcement career as a Corrections Officer with the Nevada County Sheriff’s Department before becoming an Officer with the Grass Valley Police Department in 2013.
We continue to honor his service and passing on July 16, 2019. Officer Landon was 36 years old at the time of his passing and left behind his wife Angela, and sons Wyatt, Weston, and Walker. Angela and her sons came by the RPD today, getting to go inside the SWAT vehicle for the team Cameron proudly served on.
Throughout the day today, our officers are doing a special workout in honor of Cameron, with officers from every shift doing 3 rounds in honor of his 3 sons.
Cameron will forever be missed, and never be forgotten.
