VIDEO. From the Half Moon Bay City Council meeting on March 7th, 2023 at 7:00pm as a their first in-person meeting in almost exactly 3 years. It was also a hybrid meeting so people could participate remotely.
PRESS RELEASE. From the City of the Half Moon Bay on March 8th, 2023.
At its March 7 meeting, the Half Moon Bay City Council honored the many first responders who were first on the scene to the January 23 mass shooting incident. This unimaginable event has left an indelible mark on our close-knit Coastside community, and our first responders are to thank for ensuring such a timely and effective response.
The City wants to personally thank all those that provided help and support during the January 23 event. First responders included personnel of the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, CAL FIRE – San Mateo Division, the San Mateo County Emergency Medical Services Agency, American Medical Response, and the San Mateo County Office of Emergency Communications.
“It is important that we as a Council and Community recognize the extreme sacrifices that our first responders make day in and day out. Putting their lives on the line to help protect our small, wonderful community. They risk their lives away from their families so that we can feel safe with ours. I am forever indebted to our first responders for helping us get through such a horrific crisis,” said Half Moon Bay Mayor Deborah Penrose.
First responders face incredible challenges every day to keep us safe. This past year and throughout the years it has been especially true as our public safety personnel continue to uphold their oath to protect and serve during catastrophic storms, a mass shooting, and a global pandemic. While we appreciate the work of these individuals each and every day, the City of Half Moon Bay wants to ensure we dedicate extra time to thank them for their selflessness and dedication.
Join us as we highlight the commitment and sacrifices made by those in emergency communications, the fire service, law enforcement, and emergency medical services (EMS), as well as the first responders across our nation who commit to maintaining and improving public safety each and every day.

La ciudad de Half Moon Bay reconoce a los socorristas costeros por sus esfuerzos durante el tiroteo masivo del 23 de enero
En su reunión del 7 de marzo, el Concejo Municipal de Half Moon Bay honró a los muchos socorristas que fueron los primeros en llegar a la escena del incidente del tiroteo masivo del 23 de enero. Este evento inimaginable ha dejado una marca indeleble en nuestra comunidad unida de Coastside, y nuestros socorristas deben agradecer por garantizar una respuesta tan oportuna y efectiva.
La Ciudad quiere agradecer personalmente a todos aquellos que brindaron ayuda y apoyo durante el evento del 23 de enero. Los primeros en responder incluyeron a los oficiales del Sheriff del Condado de San Mateo, CAL FIRE – División de San Mateo, la Agencia de Servicios Médicos de Emergencia del Condado de San Mateo, American Medical Response y la Oficina de Comunicaciones de Emergencia del Condado de San Mateo.
“Es importante que nosotros, como Consejo y Comunidad, reconozcamos los sacrificios extremos que nuestros socorristas hacen día tras día. Arriesgando sus vidas para ayudar a proteger nuestra pequeña y maravillosa comunidad. Arriesgan sus vidas lejos de sus familias para que podamos sentirnos seguros con las nuestras. Siempre estaré en deuda con nuestros socorristas por ayudarnos a superar una crisis tan horrible”, dijo la alcaldesa de Half Moon Bay, Deborah Penrose.
Los socorristas enfrentan desafíos increíbles todos los días para mantenernos a salvo. El año pasado y a lo largo de los años ha sido especialmente cierto ya que nuestro personal de seguridad pública continúa manteniendo su juramento de proteger y servir durante tormentas catastróficas, un tiroteo masivo y una pandemia global. Si bien apreciamos el trabajo de estas personas todos los días, la Ciudad de Half Moon Bay quiere asegurarse de dedicar tiempo adicional para agradecerles por su desinterés y dedicación.
Únase a nosotros para destacar el compromiso y los sacrificios realizados por aquellos en comunicaciones de emergencia, el servicio de bomberos, la policía y los servicios médicos de emergencia (EMS), así como los primeros en responder en toda nuestra nación que se comprometen a mantener y mejorar la seguridad pública todos los días.
