The California Department of Public Health and the Marin County Department of Health and Human Services are now recommending that everyone involved in providing essential services cover their nose and mouth while outside and within their essential services buildings.

The men and women of the Sausalito Police Department are committed to providing all vital services to our community in the days and weeks ahead during the recently extended County Public Health Order. Each day brings a new challenge and we are continuously working to ensure the safety of our citizens, while at the same time safeguarding our staff. Crucial to accomplishing this mandate is Personal Protective Equipment or PPE. PPE is masks, eye protection, gloves, etc.

We need your help. We have a limited amount of PPE and our supplies are dwindling quickly and even more so due to the extended Public Health Order and the dramatic increase use of PPE to comply with the health and safety recommendations. We have requested more PPE but there is a nationwide shortage. That’s why we are reaching out to you now. You may have masks or other supplies that you’ve bought for painting or DIY home projects, smoke inhalation, or your home emergency kit. Perhaps you have a construction or other type of business that uses safety equipment and could spare some right now. We are looking for the following:

• N95 or any type of surgical mask
• Clear protective eye gear or goggles
• Latex gloves
• Disinfecting wipes
• Hand sanitizer

Please check your supplies and if you have items to donate you can call the Sausalito Police Department at 415-289-4170 to arrange for a non-contact drop-off at our station or pick-up of your donated items.

Thank you for your continuing support and stay safe and stay informed. We are here for you and we’ll get through this together.
