Gun Buyback Event
Faith Partners and Community (Faith PAC), the Matt Garcia Foundation in partnership with the City of Fairfield, and Solano County District Attorney’s Office is hosting an anonymous gun buyback event to prevent gun violence and to get unwanted firearms out of the community.
The gun buyback will take place Saturday, July 9, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Mount Calvary Baptist Church, 1735 Enterprise Drive, Building 3, in Fairfield. People can anonymously hand in unwanted guns and receive gift cards in return. No questions will be asked about who owns the guns or where they came from.
Drive-up only, firearms must be unloaded in the truck of your vehicle. You must remain in your car. Gift cards are limited to a first come, first served basis. Boxed ammo will be accepted. Explosives will not be accepted.
“Every gun received is one less gun available that could be used in a suicide or domestic violence, stolen in a burglary, or accidentally discharged by an unsuspecting child. Together as a community we can make an impact on reducing gun violence.” - Police Support Manager, Jeremy Profitt.

Joseph Francis Finnigan
Departments: San Francisco PD, Fairfield PD, Solano College PD & Solano County Sheriff’s Department
Rank: Police Officer
End of Watch: June 10, 2017
Cause: Long-Term Stress
Description: Joe believed working in the “spirit of the law” and was a strong proponent of community policing. He was a peace officer in the truest sense and always wanted to assist visitors and local San Franciscans in any way. He handed out clothing to local children, he would help people secure jobs, and he was a friend to all. He was a dedicated police officer and would always rise to the occasion when anyone needed his help. Joe’s loss is tragic, but we can take comfort in knowing he is reunited with his first-born son, Joey Finnigan Jr., who was taken from this earth far too soon.

Jose Antonio Diaz
Departments: Yolo County S.O.
Rank: Deputy Sheriff
End of Watch: June 15, 2008
Age: 37
Cause: Gunfire
Years of Service: 4
Description: On Sunday, June 15, 2008, at approximately 7:00 in the evening, the Davis Police Department put out a ‘be on the lookout’ for Marco Topete who was reported to be driving under the influence with a child in the vehicle. At approximately 9:30 that night, Deputy Jose Antonio Diaz located the vehicle and attempted to stop it, but it failed to yield. Deputy Diaz pursued the vehicle into the town of Dunnigan, where it stopped on County Road 5 near County Road 99W in Dunnigan. After the stop was made, Deputy Diaz called for emergency backup reporting he had been shot. Marco Antonio Topete, age 35 of Arbuckle, fled on foot. A short time later, backup deputies, fire units, and AMR arrived on scene.
Deputy Diaz was transported to Woodland Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 10:55 p.m. Sunday, June 15, 2008. Cause of death was a single gunshot wound of the left chest as determined by a forensic autopsy.
A massive search was conducted by the Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of numerous law enforcement agencies. At approximately 8:00 a.m. on June 18th, Topete was found by the Yolo County SWAT team near County Road 88 and County Road 4. He was arrested without incident and charged with first degree murder. Topete was convicted and sentenced to death for Tony Diaz’s murder.
Deputy Jose Antonio “Tony” Diaz, age 37, was sworn in as a Yolo County Deputy Sheriff on August 23, 2004. He had worked for the Yolo County Information Technology Department for several years prior to his appointment as Deputy Sheriff. Deputy Diaz was a Woodland resident and the father of three girls, ages two, four, and sixteen.
Five years after Deputy Diaz’s death, the Dunnigan rest area on Interstate 5 was dedicated to the slain Yolo County Sheriff’s Deputy. Two signs were put up renaming the rest area “Deputy Tony Diaz, Yolo County Sheriff’s Office, Memorial Rest Area.” The public and citizens of the Dunnigan area now have a memorial to remind them of the sacrifice that Deputy Diaz gave while doing something he loved – protecting the community.
