Officer Sam Sanchez

SANCHEZ WINS GOLD

Congratulations to Sac State Police Officer Sam Sanchez, pictured wearing three gold medals won at the Western States Police and Fire Games in Southern California this summer. Sanchez joined the University police force two years ago after serving with the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department for 21 years. He is most proud of his 400-meter finish of 56.61 seconds, which broke a 19-year record of 56.62 seconds. “This was a shot in the arm for the department - that Sam Sanchez trained as hard as he did and won gold medals in these high-profile events. He represented Sacramento State well in this competition,” says Sac State's new Police Chief Dan Davis. For the full story, click here.
