Sheriff's lieutenant reports stable call volumes, flags QR‑code banking scam
Summary
Loomis had 415 calls for service in the month reported, including 11 arrests; Lieutenant Jason Doolittle warned residents about a QR‑code scam that cost one local about $1,400 and said investigations have leads. The sheriff's office secured OTS and CHP grants that will expand traffic and impaired‑driving enforcement.
Lieutenant Jason Doolittle of the Placer County Sheriff's Office summarized public safety data and an emerging fraud pattern in Loomis during the council meeting.
"Calls for service this month in Loomis, the township was 415," Doolittle said, and added that the month included 11 arrests and 11 accidents (six formal reports). He described a recent QR‑code scam in which a resident lost about $1,400 after scanning a code and said investigators have promising leads.
Doolittle also noted grant support for enforcement: an OTS grant split 50/50 between Loomis and Colfax and a countywide CHP cannabis grant for impaired‑driving enforcement; he said the office expects enhanced enforcement and education in the near term. The sheriff's office also changed trespass‑letter procedures to a notarized hybrid electronic form to improve mapping and deputy response times.
