We Are Roseville - June 23, 2026

4th of July Celebration
Start planning your 4th of July in Roseville! Join us for a day of patriotic fun featuring a 5K, downtown parade, family activities at Royer Park, and a spectacular fireworks show at @the Grounds. Don't forget to review road closures and parking information before heading out.
Plan your 4th of July

Celebrate responsibly this Fourth of July
Fourth of July is right around the corner. As you plan your holiday activities, be sure to check out the star-studded lineup of events above.

The sale of Safe and Sane Fireworks begins on Sunday, June 28 at noon, and only fireworks that carry the Safe and Sane seal from the State Fire Marshal can be used in Roseville. Possession or discharge of illegal fireworks can result in citations and significant fines.

New this year: the Roseville Fire Department is offering an opportunity for residents to safely surrender illegal fireworks with no questions asked. Visit any Roseville fire station and directly hand the fireworks to a firefighter so they can be safely received and stored.

Celebrate responsibly this holiday and keep it legal, keep it safe.

Safe and simple fireworks disposal
When the fireworks have faded from your Fourth of July celebration, it is important to handle the remnants safely. Proper fireworks disposal is about more than keeping your yard clean. It also helps prevent fires, protects sanitation workers, and reduces environmental impacts.
Follow these simple steps to safely dispose of used fireworks:
Soak thoroughly
Seal securely
Dispose properly
Taking a few extra minutes to dispose of fireworks correctly helps keep your home, neighborhood, and community safe.

How do scammers reach their victims?

By: The Roseville Police Department
 
 
Scammers are constantly finding new ways to reach potential victims—and most scams begin with a simple text, phone call, online ad, or social media message. If you own a phone or use social media, chances are you have encountered a scam attempt recently.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently published an article with information on how scammers are operating. 

Here is what the FTC wants everyone to know:
Text messages have become one of scammers’ preferred methods of contact.  In fact, more people reported being contacted by scammers through text messages than any other method last year. These messages often impersonate trusted businesses or government agencies, using fake alerts about package deliveries, loan applications, unpaid tolls, or account issues to trick people into responding.
Phone calls remain another common tactic. Scammers may claim you have won a prize, owe money, or must urgently move funds to “protect” your account. These schemes are designed to create fear, urgency, or excitement—often leading victims to share sensitive information or send money.
Social media scams resulted in some of the highest reported financial losses last year. Fraudsters frequently promote fake job opportunities, fraudulent investment schemes, and even romance scams to build trust before exploiting victims financially.

To help protect yourself:
Report and delete suspicious texts. Use your phone’s “Report Junk” feature or forward spam messages to 7726 (SPAM).  Then delete the message.
Report unwanted calls. If you didn’t lose any money but want to report a call, visit DoNotCall.gov. If you’ve lost money to a phone scam or have information about the scammer who called you, tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
Be cautious on social media. Treat unsolicited job offers, investment opportunities promising “guaranteed” returns, or unexpected online relationships with skepticism. Verify claims independently and watch for fake profiles designed to gain trust before committing fraud.

The bottom line, unexpected texts, calls, or social media messages should always be approached with caution. Scammers are skilled at appearing legitimate and often rely on urgency, emotional appeals, or promises of quick rewards to lower your guard.

Capturing water when it's available, saving it for when it's needed
Roseville’s water system draws from a mix of sources. Surface water is our primary supply, supported by a growing groundwater program and an expanding recycled water system. That strategic mix ensures reliable service. Over the past two decades, Roseville has invested in Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR), a method where water is injected into underground aquifers for storage and later use.

911 Newsletter - June 2026

Stop. Look. Lock.
Summer officially begins June 21, but the heat is already here and so is the danger of children being left in hot cars.
Every year, there are heartbreaking stories of children being seriously harmed or killed in vehicles that heat up in minutes. One tragedy is too many, and each one is preventable.
There is no safe amount of time to leave a child in a car. Not for a quick errand, not with the windows cracked, not even if the engine is running. If it means waking a sleeping child or changing your plans, do it.
Cars heat up fast. Even on a 70-degree day, the interior can reach 110 degrees within an hour. Cracking windows or parking in the shade offers little protection.
Children are especially vulnerable as their bodies heat up three to five times faster than adults, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Heatstroke can begin quickly, becoming life-threatening at 104 degrees and often fatal at 107 degrees.
Everyone can help prevent hot car deaths. Here are a few tips from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for parents and caregivers:
Make it a habit to check your entire vehicle, especially the back seat, before locking the doors and walking away. Over 50% of pediatric vehicular heatstroke deaths are a result of a parent or caregiver forgetting a child in a car. 
Ask your childcare provider to call if your child doesn’t show up for care as expected.
Place a personal item like a purse or briefcase in the back seat, as another reminder to look before you lock. Write a note or place a stuffed animal in the passenger's seat to remind you that a child is in the back seat.
Store car keys and fobs out of a child's reach and teach children that a vehicle is not a play area.
Tips for everyone:
Always lock your car when you aren't using it. Even if you don't have a child of your own, a child in your neighborhood could get into your unlocked vehicle. Over 230 children have died from vehicular heatstroke since 1998 because they gained access to a vehicle and became trapped.
As a community, we need to look out for others. If you see a child alone in a car, don’t assume it’s okay; take action. A quick check could save a life.

Employment scams
As layoffs continue to impact workers across the country, scammers are taking advantage of people searching for employment. U.S. employers laid off more than 1.17 million workers in 2025, and the challenging job market has carried into 2026. Unfortunately, fraudsters are using this uncertainty to target job seekers with convincing employment scams.
These scams often appear as legitimate job opportunities posted on social media, online marketplaces, and popular employment websites. Some criminals even impersonate real companies, recruiters, or employment agencies to gain victims’ trust. Their goal is to steal personal information, financial details, or money through fake application fees, background checks, or training costs.
Job seekers should remain cautious and watch for warning signs. Legitimate employers will never require payment in exchange for a job opportunity or interview. Be especially wary of positions promising unusually high pay for minimal work, particularly remote jobs that sound too good to be true.
Even trusted job platforms such as LinkedIn and Indeed can contain fraudulent postings. Before responding to a recruiter or submitting personal information, verify the company independently by visiting its official website and confirming the position exists. If contacted by a recruiter, make sure the individual is legitimately affiliated with the organization.
Experts also advise caution when posting résumés publicly online. Personal details such as phone numbers, addresses, work history, and educational background can be used by criminals to build convincing scams or steal identities.
Artificial intelligence has made employment scams even more sophisticated. Fraudsters now use AI-generated emails, fake websites, cloned voices, and realistic messages that can appear authentic and professional. As technology continues to evolve, these scams will become increasingly difficult to detect.
In today’s difficult economy, protecting your personal information is more important than ever. Take time to verify opportunities carefully, trust your instincts, and remember: if a company asks you to pay for a job or interview, it is almost certainly a scam.
Roseville residents scammed
Date: April 18
Beat: 7
Neighborhood: Sun City
On Saturday, April 18 at approximately 1 p.m., a victim with dementia received a phone call from an unknown suspect claiming money was owed to him. The suspect requested and obtained the victim’s Social Security number. A caregiver later identified an unauthorized charge of $206.52 labeled “Government Corp.” on the victim’s account. The victim could not recall all details of the interaction, raising concerns that additional personal or financial information may have been disclosed.
Prevention Tip: Protect vulnerable individuals. Caregivers should monitor financial activity closely and limit access to sensitive information for individuals who may be susceptible to scams.
 
Date: April 17
Beat: 5
Neighborhood: Harding
On Friday, April 17 at approximately 12:46 p.m., the victim received a phone call from an individual claiming to be an undercover bank fraud investigator. The suspect alleged fraudulent activity involving a bank teller and instructed the victim to withdraw her entire checking account balance as part of an investigation. The suspect further directed her to mail the funds to an address in Florida and threatened arrest if she did not comply. The victim withdrew $2,750 and sent the money via courier service before becoming suspicious and ceasing further compliance.
Prevention Tip: Question urgency and threats. Scammers often use fear and urgency to manipulate victims. Legitimate investigators will not threaten arrest or demand immediate financial actions.
 
Date: April 13
Beat: 4
Neighborhood: Junction West
On Monday, April 13 beginning at approximately 9:04 a.m., the victim received multiple calls from an unknown female claiming to be affiliated with the FBI. The suspect stated that $42,550 was being fraudulently transferred from the victim’s account and instructed him to withdraw funds to prevent the loss. Over several hours, the victim withdrew large sums from multiple bank locations totaling over $130,000 and, under the suspect’s direction, arranged for the money to be transported via rideshare services. The suspect maintained continuous contact, using intimidation and personal information, including the victim’s Social Security number, to gain compliance. The victim became suspicious during a final withdrawal attempt and was informed by bank staff that he was being defrauded.
Prevention Tip: Government agencies do not request cash transfers. Law enforcement or federal agencies will never instruct individuals to withdraw or transfer money to “secure” funds. Report such requests immediately.

If an investment sounds too good to be true, it probably is

By: The Roseville Police Department
 
 
California Attorney General Rob Bonta is warning Californians about a surge in fraudulent investment schemes circulating on Meta platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Scammers are using deceptive ads and deepfake technology to impersonate trusted figures and lure victims into high-risk schemes that can drain life savings.

According to Bonta, these scams often use photos of well-known or trusted people without their permission in order to create the necessary trust to get into consumers’ pockets.

Common Investment Scams
Pump-and-Dump Schemes
Scammers promote low-value stocks or volatile cryptocurrencies through fake endorsements and “insider” tips. Victims are urged to join private groups, often moved to encrypted apps, where hype drives prices up. Once inflated, scammers sell off their holdings, leaving victims with steep losses.

Confidence (Relationship) Scams
Fraudsters build trust over time, posing as advisors or mentors. Victims are directed to realistic-looking, but fake, trading platforms that show fabricated profits. As victims invest more, they are later blocked from withdrawing funds or told to pay additional “fees,” which are never returned.

Protect Yourself
Be cautious of any investment promoted on social media, especially those promising guaranteed or unusually high returns. Legitimate financial professionals rarely solicit clients this way.

Cryptocurrency transactions are often irreversible.  Always maintain records of all activity. Finally, avoid so-called “asset recovery” services demanding upfront fees; many are scams targeting victims a second time.

To avoid falling victim to predatory investment schemes on social media, people should take the following steps:

Watch for red flags
Be skeptical of guaranteed returns, urgent “act now” pressure, or celebrity endorsements, especially those created with AI. Treat requests involving cryptocurrency, moving conversations to encrypted apps, or handling other people’s money as major warning signs.

Verify before you invest
Research independently. Confirm credentials through FINRA’s BrokerCheck, check reviews, and verify email domains carefully; scammers often mimic legitimate addresses. Consult a trusted financial or legal advisor, and take seriously any warnings from your bank or advisor. If something feels off, don’t proceed.

Be cautious of deepfakes
Scammers increasingly use realistic fake videos to impersonate public figures. Look for subtle inconsistencies in audio or visuals, and search online to verify whether the content is authentic. Legitimate experts rarely promote investments through social media ads or obscure platforms.

Protect your information
Limit what you share on social media, keep profiles private, and confirm unusual messages, even from friends, through another method. Never share personal, financial, or login information, and do not grant remote access to your devices.

Anyone who believes they’ve been targeted or victimized should report it to local law enforcement and oag.ca.gov/report.

No Post Office on the west side - but 4 new drop boxes

From Scott Alvord, City Council Member...
Update on Post Office on the west side.
 
Our postmaster lives on the western half of Roseville so several years ago, I reached out to him to find out what it would take to get a new post office out here. He was very helpful, but he had no power to decide himself without the request coming from a federal office. But he explained what was needed.
 
Because postal service is a federal department, I had to start working with staff from Tom McClintock office, specifically Kim Pruett. She's good to work with. I asked what it would take to help get a PO and some blue drop-off boxes in western Roseville and she did some additional research. She got back to me explaining the details, so I talked to city staff, and they worked with Kim to draft a letter for our mayor to sign, formally requesting the new post office. Mayor Krista Bernasconi was all in to help. She signed it, sent it, and then we all waited.
We finally got word back that while our growth probably justified one, it would be very difficult to get one. But we were now on their radar.
But they could get us the blue drop-off boxes.
 
The Roseville Postmaster has received permission from the city and property owners to place new mailboxes throughout western Roseville at the below addresses.  They are also looking into placing more boxes as new developments throughout the city continue to expand.
 
Links to map locations:
1950 Blue Oaks
2310 Pleasant Grove
1771 Pleasant Grove
4080 Baseline
 
I haven't checked the locations to verify that they were installed but they were or will be soon.
Luckily, we have a UPS Store coming to the Plaza at Blue Oaks (by the new Raley's O-N-E).

Placer County Supportive Services Homes

From the City of Roseville, Planning Department...
 
The use of the home in question falls under the “supportive housing” model which is explicitly authorized by California State law. The same law also preempts local governments like Roseville from prohibiting such housing in their jurisdictions.  Supportive housing is defined as housing that is occupied by persons (including those with disabilities and families who are homeless) that are linked to onsite or offsite services that assist the residents in retaining housing, improving their health, and maximizing their ability to live.   This law requires the City’s zoning ordinance to allow supportive housing as a permitted use type in residentially-zoned areas.  The legislation has measures in place meant to regulate the operation of supportive housing to prevent negative impacts to neighborhoods.  While supportive housing is authorized from a zoning perspective, the City of Roseville can still regulate any negative conduct occurring on the property, including but not limited to criminal, nuisance, or building code violations, just as we will with any other property in that neighborhood, should such conduct ever arise.
 
One of the goals of Placer County’s Adult System of Care and Whole Person Care programs is to directly address the local need for affordable housing.  The program meets this goal by purchasing homes, providing supportive services and reducing homelessness. Residents share the home and work with case managers to set individual goals and be supported with life skills to aid their efforts to live independently within the community.  Only the most vulnerable homeless individuals are admitted to this Placer County program, including veterans, elderly, and those with multiple health problems. 
 
Placer County’s Whole Person Care refers clients to AMIH to be interviewed and hand-selected to participate in the program.  Please note that the persons occupying this supportive housing will all be Placer County residents.  Individuals with violent felonies within the last three years and registered sex offenders are prohibited from living in these homes.  Case managers work with the residents daily to address any problems they may be having, and will work closely with the tenants to modify any inappropriate behaviors that result in nuisances to neighbors.  AMIH has pledged to work diligently to be good neighbors and will modify the property as needed to provide more privacy for the tenants and surrounding neighbors. 
 
Please know that the City understands your concerns as a neighbor.  Feel free to contact me with further questions.  You may also contact Placer County’s Whole Person Care program at 530-889-7170 for programmatic questions as they are the Placer County Department running this program.
