Oakland Fire and Police Chaplain Jayson Landeza Speaks at Catholics@Work (1)

On July 6, 2009, Jayson was awarded the Oakland Police Department Medal of Merit by acting Chief of Police Howard Jordan. This was the first time in the department's history that the medal was presented to a non-sworn (non-police officer) member of the force. This was in recognition of his outstanding service as a chaplain to the Oakland Police Department.

The Oakland City Council declared July 21, 2009 as Father Jayson Landeza Day in the City of Oakland in honor of his years of dedicated and distinguished service as chaplain to the Oakland Police and Fire Departments, as well as Pastor of St. Columba. The Oakland City Council also cited Fr. Jayson's participation in the Crisis Emergency and Response Network of Catholic Charities of the East Bay and his service to Mayor Ron Dellums' Network of Interfaith Advisors.
