The Regular City Council Meeting for the City of Lincoln took place on September 10, 2025, with a focus on community safety and recognition of local law enforcement efforts.
The meeting commenced with a heartfelt acknowledgment of Officer Matsui, who was present to receive thanks for his recent actions that positively impacted a local youth. During a public safety Sunday service at Summit Church, Officer Matsui was recognized for his compassionate response to a juvenile in distress. The young boy had reported that his electric bicycle had been stolen.
Officer Matsui took the initiative to engage with the boy, gathering information that led to a grand theft investigation. His efforts included reviewing safety camera footage, identifying the suspects, and coordinating with a local construction company to apprehend them. As a result, all three suspects were arrested and the stolen bicycle was recovered and returned to the young victim.
The council expressed gratitude for Officer Matsui's dedication, highlighting that his actions exemplify the commitment of the Lincoln Police Department to community safety. The meeting concluded with a round of applause for Officer Matsui and the officers involved in the case, reinforcing the city’s pride in being recognized as one of the safest cities in Northern California.
The council also indicated that there would be further presentations in the meeting, suggesting ongoing discussions about community engagement and safety initiatives.
