On September 4, 2024, Deputy De’Angelo Powell reported for work as usual. While performing his duties, Deputy Powell began to feel ill. He left work and took himself to John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek to be evaluated. John Muir's staff performed a series of tests; he was then diagnosed with Bell's Palsy and Leukemia.

Please help us support our friend and colleague, Deputy Alex Bonee. Alex was notified the cancer had returned a third time and metastasized to the chest categorizing the cancer as stage 4.

Our law enforcement community has all felt the effects of short staffing and stress, so when Officer Yee began experiencing headaches that would not subside he chalked it up to stress. The headaches persisted, becoming worse, all the while he continued to report for duty. He sought medical attention but when the medical interventions did not provide relief, his wife took him to the Emergency Room. A mass was discovered in his brain. Surgery immediately followed but the entirety of the mass could not be removed due to the location in his brain. Biopsy results revealed stage four brain cancer.
