CNOA - Region 1

With heavy hearts, CNOA Region 1 pays tribute to Vacaville Police Department Officer Matthew Bowen who made the ultimate sacrifice today while on a traffic stop.

Officer Bowen previously worked for the Concord Police Department, and our thoughts are also with former coworkers and colleagues of CPD.

We mourn with Vacaville PD, Officer Bowen’s family, and the entire Vacaville community. He leaves behind a wife, two sons, parents and brother.

Rest easy Officer Bowen, we have the watch from here.

We’ll see you in Fairfield, CA on Tuesday, June 25. This POST Certified class will delve into the intricacies of Asset Seizure and Forfeiture with expert guidance on this subject matter. Registration is open now!

$10 of each admission ticket purchased and 15% of concert wine sales will be donated to the CNOA Survivors Memorial Fund. West Coast Ci**rs will also donate 20% of their cigar sales. Tragically, each year, 10 to 20 California officers lose their lives in the line of duty. The Survivors Memorial Fund provides immediate assistance to families of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our brothers and sisters of the Oakland Police Department as they mourn the loss of Officer Jordan Wingate.

On August 13th, 2018, Officer Wingate was responding to a call for service when he was involved in a tragic traffic collision in the 19000 block of Middle Harbor Rd. Despite the valiant efforts of medical professionals, Officer Wingate remained in a coma and later in a vegetative state for over five years before peacefully passing away on April 20, 2024.

Officer Wingate, was a dedicated member of the Oakland Police Patrol Division, who followed in father’s footsteps joining OPD and graduating in the 176th Academy Class.

On behalf of Region 1, we extend our sincerest condolences to the family, friends, and former coworkers of Tobin Bolter at the Pleasant Hill Police Department.
