Robert "Bob" Y. Russick (YCSO, Ret.) passed away on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, following a lengthy illness. He was 71 years old.

Bob was hired by the Yolo County Sheriff's Office as a "Sheriff's Service Technician," which was the precursor for what would become "Correctional Officer," in 1985. He transitioned into the new job title in 1986, and later promoted to Correctional Supervisor (Sergeant). Among his assignments was working on the Jail Planning Team.

In the late 1990s, he left the SO to work for Yolo County Mental Health Services. Bob retired from county employment in 2009.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring.

David H. Wallace (YCSO, Ret.) passed away unexpectedly in the early morning hours of Sunday, February 8, 2026. He was 88 years old.

Dave was hired as a deputy sheriff by Sheriff Jim Cameron in 1971, and was promoted to sergeant soon thereafter, and was assigned to administrative duties, including purchasing and procurement.

In 1978, Dave returned to civilian life where he remained at the helm of family owned and operated, Wallace Safe and Lock Co, until ill health prompted him to turn over the reins to other family members.

Dave became an active and valued member of the Yolo County Retired Peace Officers Association (YCRPOA), when it was established. The Association's goal of building and maintaining a memorial to the Yolo County Law Enforcement Officers killed in the line of duty, was a cause near and dear to his heart.

A memorial service and reception are tentatively scheduled for mid-April in Woodland. Additional information will be sent out at a later date.
