An “active situation” had Roseville police urging people to steer clear of the intersection of Brentwood Road and Hickory Street on Friday morning. Officers asked residents and drivers to avoid the area for safety and to give police space to work, and said an update would be posted once the activity at the scene was over.
Police Post Urges 'Stay Out Of The Area'
The warning went out in a Facebook post from the City of Roseville Police Department, which told people to “stay out of the area” and promised an update when the police response wrapped up. The brief advisory did not share what kind of incident officers were dealing with or whether there were any arrests or injuries, and it did not immediately include further details.
How To Get Updates And Safety Info
For the all-clear and any follow-up safety instructions, residents are being directed to the department’s official communication channels. The city’s police webpage lists the department’s non-emergency phone line along with social media accounts used for public updates, according to the Roseville Police Department. Anyone already near Brentwood and Hickory is advised to steer away from the intersection and follow directions from officers on scene.
Past Advisories And Why They're Issued
Roseville police have put out similar “stay out” and shelter-in-place alerts during active searches and perimeter operations in the past. One 2021 incident, for example, led to a neighborhood shelter-in-place while officers served a warrant, as reported by The Sacramento Bee. Advisories like these are meant to keep the public at a safe distance and to avoid disrupting ongoing police work. We will update this story as officials release more information.
