PLEASANTON — Foster City police Chief Tracy Avelar is leaving the Peninsula to become Pleasanton’s new top cop, officials announced this week. Avelar, who joined the Foster City Police Department in 2002, will begin her new job in the Tri-Valley on Dec. 9. She will be the first woman in Pleasanton’s history to serve as a permanent chief. “Pleasanton holds a special place in my heart, and I am truly honored to step into the role of police chief for the city,” Avelar said in a statement. “I have so much respect for the men and women of this department and look forward to working alongside them to continue building strong community partnerships, ensuring public safety and fostering trust and transparency”. Avelar is the current president of the California Police Chiefs Association, with prior experience on the San Mateo County Police Chiefs and Sheriff Executive Board. She received a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice management and a master’s degree in homeland security from the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security. She is also an alumna of the Sherman Block Leadership Institute and the LAPD Leadership Academy, the release said. She replaces former Chief David Swing, who after 30 years in law enforcement retired in April to become executive director of the East Bay Regional Communications System Authority. Interim Chief Gina Anderson held the position temporarily after Swing left. In Foster City, Avelar oversaw the police department’s field training, SWAT and traffic enforcement divisions. She was also in charge of dispatch, records, investigations and budget preparation, city officials said. “Chief Avelar has a proven track record of leadership and innovation in law enforcement, and we are excited to welcome her to Pleasanton,” City Manager Gerry Beaudin said in a statement. “Her dedication to community engagement, public safety and operational excellence will be a great asset to our city.” Pleasanton is the second Tri-Valley city to hire a new police chief this year. In October, Dublin appointed former Alameda County Sheriff’s Commander Victor Fox, an FBI National Academy alumnus, to take over after Chief Nate Schmidt retired.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The United Nations raised the death toll of a recent massacre in which dozens of older people and Vodou religious leaders were killed by a gang in Haiti, and called on officials to bring the perpetrators to justice. The U.N. Integrated Office in Haiti said in a report published on Monday that between Dec. 6 and 11 more than 207 people were killed by the Wharf Jeremie gang. The gang took people from their homes and from a place of worship, interrogated them and then executed them with bullets and machetes. Earlier this month, human rights groups in Haiti had estimated that more than 100 people were killed in the massacre, but the new U.N. investigation doubles the number of victims. “We cannot pretend that nothing happened” said María Isabel Salvador, the U.N. secretary-general’s special representative in Haiti. “I call on the Haitian justice system to thoroughly investigate these horrific crimes and arrest and punish the perpetrators, as well as those who support them,” she said in a statement. Human rights groups in Haiti said the massacre began after the son of Micanor Altès, the leader of the Wharf Jeremie gang, died from an illness. The Cooperative for Peace and Development, a human rights group, said that according to information circulating in the community, Altès accused people in the neighborhood of causing his son’s illness. “He decided to cruelly punish all elderly people and (Vodou) practitioners who, in his imagination, would be capable of casting a bad spell on his son,” the group said in a statement released shortly after news of the massacre emerged. In Monday’s report, the United Nations said that people were tracked down in their homes and in a place of worship by Altès’ gang, where they were first interrogated and then taken to an execution site. The United Nations said that the gang tried to erase evidence of the killings by burning bodies, or by dismembering them and throwing them into the sea. The massacre is the latest humanitarian tragedy in Haiti, where gang violence has intensified since the nation’s president was killed in a 2021 coup attempt. Haiti has struggled to organize an election that will fill the power vacuum and restore democratic rule. The Caribbean nation is currently governed by a transitional council that includes representatives from the business community, civil society and political parties, but its government has no control over many areas of the capital city, and gangs are constantly fighting over ports, highways and neighborhoods. According to the United Nations, more than 5,350 people have been killed in Haiti’s gang wars this year. The Haitian government acknowledged the massacre against older people in a statement issued earlier this month, and promised to persecute those responsible for this act of “unspeakable carnage.”Police have charged two people following a break-and-enter investigation. On Saturday, Grey Bruce OPP were called to check on an empty home on Dawson Street in South Bruce Peninsula. When police arrived, six people were removed from the building. On Sunday, just before 5 p.m., police did a property check at the same home. Two people, who were previously trespassed, were found inside. A 22-year-old of no fixed address and a 43-year-old of Georgian Bluffs are both facing charges for break-and-enter a place with intent to commit an indictable offence.
