HISTORY OF ROSSMOOR EPO
Heading 2
The EPO October Meeting will be
“Coffee with a Lotta Cops”
Held in the Fireside Room at Gateway
On Monday, October 5, 2026 at 10 am
Tom Cashion, the Rossmoor Director of Public Safety, will host the meeting with guests from the Walnut Creek Police Department for "Coffee with a Lotta Cops".
October is Pedestrian Safety Month which is the reason we are hosting “Coffee with a Lotta Cops” in October. Note that on the table in the lobby of the Fireside Room there will be copies of the Rossmoor Residents’ Guide to Pedestrian and Driver Safety.
In keeping with the meeting title, there will be free coffee (regular and decaf coffee, hot water and assorted tea bags) and assorted donuts. The Fireside Room will be set up with fifteen round tables where you can sit in comfort and talk to various representatives of the WCPD, Tom
Cashion or someone from the EPO leadership team on tables that don’t have someone from WCPD.
Lieutenant Mike Watson, the new Sector One Commander since January 2026, will provide an introduction of himself and the other WCPD presenters. Sector One includes all of Rossmoor along with a sizeable portion of southern Walnut Creek. Lieutenant Watson will be
accompanied with more than dozen other WCPD police force members from a range of different departments and assignments.
In addition to the round tables where Rossmoor residents can talk to individual officers, there will be a podium set up in the front of the room, and several rows of seats behind the round tables.
At the podium Tom Cashion, the Rossmoor Director of Public Safety, will introduce WCPD Sector One Commander, Lieutenant Watson, and Lieutenant Watson will introduce Crime Prevention Specialist Kira Raman, and Traffic & Outreach Supervisor Sergeant Gary Silva. We will also have two representatives from the City of Walnut Creek’s Traffic Engineering Team - Traffic Engineer Matt Redmond and Traffic Engineer Briana Byrne.
Before the individual presentations, each of the people at the podium will explain what their jobs entail. Specialist Raman will provide a brief status report of what has changed over recent years in Rossmoor and Walnut Creek.
Crime Prevention Specialist Raman will discuss some crime prevention tips and highlight Neighborhood Watch.
Sergeant Silva, Traffic & Outreach Supervisor, will provide a presentation on pedestrian safety.
