While the Folsom Police Department appreciates the unwavering support of the community, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the dangers in approaching or following a suspect involved in a crime. One can't be certain what other kinds of criminal activity that suspect might dabble in, and you never know how a suspect might react to the thought of being identified or caught by law enforcement. Please keep your safety in mind first, above all else.
