Today at around 07:25 am, EDSO responded to a residence on Mountain View Drive in Camino. A PG&E crew reported that they were shot at, with one employee injured. While EDSO was at the scene, an Officer Involved Shooting (OIS) occurred. Two deputies and the suspect were shot. They were all transported by medics to area hospitals. This is still an active scene and ongoing investigation. Law enforcement will remain in the area. Further information will be released once it is available.

It is with deep sorrow that the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office announces the passing of Sergeant Jason Whelen, who suffered a medical emergency while on duty on Tuesday, February 24th.

Despite the immediate response and extensive life-saving efforts by fellow deputies and medical personnel, Sergeant Whelen tragically passed away.

Sergeant Whelen began his career with the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office on October 15, 2007. Through his dedication, professionalism, and commitment to service, he was promoted to Sergeant on February 25, 2013. Throughout his career, he served this community with honor, integrity, and compassion.

Sergeant Whelen was a proud husband and devoted father of four. He was known within the Sheriff’s Office for his kindness, steady leadership, love of Jesus Christ, and infectious smile. He brought positivity to those around him and was someone who could always be counted on.

Our thoughts are with Sergeant Whelen’s family, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time. The Sheriff’s Office mourns the loss of a respected leader, a valued partner, and a cherished member of our law enforcement family.

We ask the community to keep his loved ones and our Sheriff’s Office family in your thoughts.
