(Sacramento County, CA) — Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper expresses gratitude to Safeway and the California Grocers Association for their efforts against retail theft. Safeway collaborated with the sheriff’s department to address ongoing theft issues at various locations.

Detectives conducted a shoplifting operation, resulting in several arrests and trespass notices.

In contrast, Sheriff Cooper criticized Walgreens and Target earlier in the week, claiming corporate offices hindered law enforcement by instructing deputies to avoid arrests inside their stores.
