The bus was donated by Sims Metal Management, which operates a facility in Stockton, and was towed to the sheriff’s office in French Camp by Sam Berri Towing.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office won’t have to borrow a school bus to do true-to-life training scenarios anymore. They now have their own to use for a variety of training missions intended to build skills for a variety of teams that may be called on if a situation involving a bus were ever to arise.
