With state mandates that could require the town to build 200 to 300 new housing units in the next decade, the council has also been weighing the concept of adding housing while also preserving Portola Valley s treasured rural character and not creating more wildfire risk in the process.

Juvenile crime rates in North Fair Oaks have fallen substantially in 2020, leading law enforcement officials to believe the pandemic has partly hindered illegal activity along with the departmentâs shift away from incarcerating children.Â
âWe just continue to think about ways to encourage our youth to strive for the best and know that they deserve everything they put their heart and soul into,â said Capt. Christina Corpus with the Sheriffâs Office during a virtual North Fair Oaks Community Council meeting Nov. 19.
Starting in 2016, youth crime rates in the North Fair Oaks were on the rise, doubling from eight different types of crimes committed in 2016 to 16 types of crimes in 2017, 26 in 2018 and 31 in 2019. Spanning 2020, Corpus said the community has seen a substantial dip in youth led crimes, falling 51% in 2020 when compared to 2019.Â
To be proactive and train deputies on better responses to specific mental health crisis situations, the San Mateo County Sheriffâs Office is launching a new Enhanced Crisis Intervention Team program, the first of its kind in the state.
The Sheriffâs Office hopes the team, or ECIT, will help it improve crisis response and communication in stressful mental health situations and to de-escalate. It also hopes to reduce violent outcomes between law enforcement and people who experience mental illness by training deputies and providing community resources. Once deputies complete the ECIT training, they will be part of the ECIT team. The Sheriffâs Office hopes to have all deputies complete the ECIT training in the future and be part of the team.
