Sheriff - Public Awareness Announcement
The Del Norte County Sheriff's Office is currently transitioning to a new Dispatch, Corrections and Operations computer program. There will be roughly a 30 day window of time that all of our bookings and call logs will not be accessible via the internet. We understand this is an inconvenience however we are upgrading a 30 year old system that will take a bit of time. Please be patient and we will have the new program up and running as soon as possible.
When our new system is up and running there will be some changes. In addition to a new look and feel, due to recent court ruling, we will no longer be posting photographs or arrestees.

Grand Jury Report 2023-2024
California law requires Superior Court Judges in each California County to impanel a civil grand jury. Civil grand juries investigate local government activities. At the end of the year, grand juries publish reports about what they have found.
Grand jurors are bound by secrecy and confidentiality in grand jury service. Each member of the grand jury, under Penal Code section 911, swears an oath of office to not disclose any evidence brought before the grand jury, nor any discussions or deliberations that occur during a grand jury investigation. This oath ensures protection for those who come before the grand jury and maintains the independence and validity of the grand jury.
