BRENTWOOD POLICE PARTNER WITH SUTTER HEALTH TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
|

In partnership with Sutter Delta Medical Center and the Family Justice Center, the Brentwood Police Department participated in a new community initiative focused on improving emergency preparedness throughout East Contra Costa County. Earlier this summer, officers joined Sutter Delta nurses and technicians to co-host a free public safety education event featuring CPR instruction, “Stop the Bleed” training, and hands-on demonstrations designed to empower residents with life-saving skills.
This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to strengthening community resilience. By working together across public safety and healthcare, the partnership aims to build trust, expand awareness, and ensure residents are better prepared to respond in times of crisis.

ADOPT-A-SENIOR AND TURKEY RAFFLE PROGRAMS HELP SPREAD SOME HOLIDAY CHEER
|
|
|
|
|
The Turkey Raffle is open now through November 8 for Brentwood residents ages 55 and older. One entry per household.

Spread holiday cheer by taking part in Brentwood’s 5th annual Adopt-A-Senior program. Each year, community members sign up to “adopt” a local senior by providing gifts and a grocery card to brighten their holiday season. Seniors in the program are homebound, on limited incomes, or without nearby family, and your support makes a big difference.
Wish lists will be available in early November, and gifts will be due in early December. Sign-ups are open now for anyone who would like to participate.
Applications to participate in either program are available now at the Brentwood Senior Activity Center. For more information, call (925) 516-5380.
