"San Carlos doesn't often make the news for crimes in the City of Good Living. But after two incidents landed the town in the headlines within three weeks of each other, the council wants to improve its communication with the sheriff's office, which provides police to the town. Mayor Pranita Venkatesh said at the Jan. 26 meeting she'd like more information about how the sheriff's office tells council members about incidents in town."
"Venkatesh didn't talk about the two headline-grabbing incidents, but on Dec. 23, Brian Weisl, 33, of South San Francisco, allegedly beat up a Good Samaritan who stood up for a stranger Weisl was harassing at the San Carlos Caltrain station. The second incident was on Jan. 9, when a man with a gun forced himself into a home on the 1400 block of Greenwood Ave., demanded money and valuables before fleeing on a bicycle. The sheriff's office has not arrested anyone in that case."
"Vice Mayor Adam Rak suggested picking two council members to work on building a relationship with the sheriff's office after Mark Myers was promoted to assistant sheriff on Jan. 16. Myers, who has worked for the sheriff's office since 2005, will now oversee patrol and investigations for cities that contract police services from the sheriff's office, including San Carlos. Myers, who had held the rank of captain, has been the police chief in San Carlos since 2023."
