Nevada County law enforcement officials and advocates for homeless people are applauding a training program designed to improve police officer’s interactions with the homeless.
Hospitality House, the county’s largest homeless shelter, introduced the Peace Officers and Standards Training (POST) curriculum to Nevada County earlier this year, in partnership with regional law enforcement entities. These partner agencies include the Grass Valley Police Department, the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office, and the Nevada City Police Department.
A woman who authorities believe is with an infant child was reported missing on Tuesday, according to the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office.
Kimberly Matlock, 36, was announced as missing around 8 p.m. Tuesday by Nevada County Child Protective Services. On Thursday, the agency contacted the Sheriff’s Office with information that Matlock is believed to be in possession of a newborn child that is only days old.
The child is believed to be Matlock’s, though this has not been confirmed, according to sheriff’s Lt. Sean Scales.
Authorities believe she is most likely somewhere in the general North San Juan area. A search for Matlock was conducted by sheriff’s deputies late Tuesday in both North San Juan and Camptonville, but searchers were unable to locate Matlock or the infant child. A medical team from Hospitality House assisted deputies in the search on Tuesday, according to Scales.
