Superb police work and mutual aid. Three suspects captured and all done so in a safe and professional manner.

Thank you Atherton PD and San Mateo Sheriff's Office.

PS. And watch how little publicity excellent police work gets.

It just did get publicity. You're responding to it. This is in case of an evasion that resulted in an arrest, with no violence alleged on the part of the perps. I'm not sure why any medals would be handed out over this one. It's supposed to be a routine part of their job.

Yep, a routine part of their job. It's nice to let the public know it happened. But they also let one of them escape.

Swift thorough and safely done. A park full of children and parents little leaguers being dropped off. It is part of their job, but kudos to them for doing it well. The police bashing is tired and absurd Thank you APD and all police for doing a thankless job and putting your lives on the line everyday.
