The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office added two new full-time furry employees to the force this summer: therapy dogs Maverick and Teddy. They join Ben and Deputy Danielle Martinez, the first pup and handler in the department's Therapy K-9 program. The county sheriff’s office, like law enforcement agencies around the Bay Area, is finding therapy dog units to be a useful new tool to support their workforce, comfort crime victims and engage with the community. Ben and Martinez have dropped in on at least 150 local events and school visits in Redwood City and elsewhere in the county, according to the sheriff's office. Beyond community work, Ben also helps put victims at ease during difficult conversations with law enforcement. "He has done so much great work in the short time that we've had him," said Sheriff Christina Corpus. "He touches people's hearts." The department purchased Ben and the two new dogs from therapy dog breeder Cali Pals in Hollister for $5,000 each. ——— Video and photos by Magali Gauthier ——— #TherapyDog #ServiceDog #TherapyK9 #CourthouseDog #CourtroomDog #Sheriff #SheriffsOffice #SanMateoCountySheriff #SanMateoCountySheriffsOffice #RedwoodCity #SanMateoCA #SanMateoCounty #SiliconValley #BayArea #BayAreaNews #Community #CommunityNews #Local #LocalNews

In early September, Recology tested out a new hydrogen-fueled refuse truck in Redwood Shores, other parts of San Mateo County and San Francisco. The truck does not produce harmful tailpipe emissions. The pilot is part of Recology's effort to transition its fleet to zero-emission trucks by 2042 to comply with California's Advanced Clean Fleets law. But no purchases have been made yet. Recology’s CEO, Sal Coniglio said the high price of the hydrogen truck, between $700,000 to $1 million, will make the cost of doing business very expensive. Another obstacle in the widespread use of hydrogen trucks in North America is the lack of infrastructure to support their fueling. As of 2023, there are 59 open retail hydrogen stations in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Fifty more stations are planned or under construction. Most hydrogen stations are in California, with one in Hawaii and five planned for the northeastern states. ——— Story by Simmerdeep Kaur Video and photos by Magali Gauthier ——— #Garbagetruck #Hydrogenpower #Hydrogenpoweredtruck #Recology #RedwoodShores #PaloAlto #SanMateoCA #SanMateoCounty #SiliconValley #BayArea #BayAreaNews #Community #CommunityNews #Local #LocalNews
