The city of Vallejo, in an urgent plea, asked the Solano County Sheriff's Office to help it address a critical police staffing shortage. As of Tuesday, the ball remains in Solano County's court to make a final decision on approval.

Tuesday, the county Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 to delay the decision to next month at their regular July 22 meeting.

It comes as last week the Vallejo city council unanimously voted to approve an $11.2 million contract with the Solano County Sheriff's Office that would allow 17 full-time Solano County Sheriff's deputies and staff members to respond to about half of Vallejo's city limits from noon to midnight, seven days a week spanning the entire calendar year of 2026.
