• LGMSPD chief makes the case for expanding the force to police Saratoga (losgatan.com) — Los Gatos leaders are weighing a proposal for their police department to take over Saratoga's policing, a move that would add 16.5 positions and shift millions in costs while promising economies of scale. At a recent Town Council meeting, residents and students raised concerns about privacy and ALPR cameras, even as officials highlighted potential financial benefits and stronger regional public safety.
   

• Paly Boys Water Polo loses to Los Gatos 17-4 (vikingsportsmag.com) — Los Gatos High's boys water polo team dominated Palo Alto's Paly Vikings 17–4 in a recent matchup, with the article's captions spotlighting key plays and standout saves. While most images focus on Paly players, Los Gatos is repeatedly highlighted as the relentless attacking side that broke through the defense despite some impressive goalkeeping.
   

• A New Middle Ground in Prostate Cancer Treatment (sutterhealth.org) — Men in Los Gatos now have access to newer, less-invasive focal therapies for localized prostate cancer through Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group urologists practicing locally and nearby.
