IMPACT TO SHERIFF’S OFFICE SERVICES IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19
Our community is important to us. Even in these difficult times we are all facing, the men and women of your Sheriff’s Office will continue to work diligently to prevent crime and protect our community. While we are working diligently with our partners to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not allow it to distract us from our mission of law enforcement.
Like you, your Sheriff’s Office has been reacting to the COVID-19 pandemic. To help reduce the unintended spread of the virus, we are reducing non-essential services. Please see below for cancellations that might affect you:
• In-person Interviews for new concealed weapon permits (CCWs) are cancelled. We are still accepting on-line applications and renewals, as well as renewal payments sent by mail.
• Live Scan appointments are cancelled.
• Property releases from our Evidence Unit are cancelled, except for firearms and transient property releases.
• The Community Awareness Academy is cancelled.
• All social contact visits at the Placer County Jails are suspended. Video visits and attorney visits are still permitted.
• Colfax station is closed.
• Loomis station is closed
• For the most current info on the status of Placer County Courts, go to: http://www.placer.courts.ca.gov/
What is unaffected:
• Our lobbies in Tahoe City, and the Main Office in Auburn are still open currently, but with reduced services. No report requests are being processed and our Civil Division is only processing restraining orders.
• All emergency and patrol services are still available and fully staffed.
