Sutter
County Sheriff Department
Communication Center
The
Sutter County Communications Division is a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). Our Center has the responsibility of answering incoming 911 calls
as well as non-emergency calls for service.
Our communications Division provides radio-dispatching services for the Sheriff's
Department as well as the Fire Department. At times we also assist and communicate
with Animal Control, Public Works, and sometimes Fish & Game field personnel.
Our center is manned twenty-four (24) hours, seven (7) days
a week, with a minimum of two dispatchers on duty at all times.
On July 1, 1999, the Sutter County Sheriff's Department began supplying EMD
(Emergency Medical Dispatching) in which pre-arrival medical assistance
and instructions are provided by the Dispatcher to the citizens of Sutter
County.
Important
Things You Should Know When Calling 911.
- The
Dispatcher will inquire: What Happened, Where are you, and When did the
incident occur.
- Remember
911 is used for life or death emergencies and crimes in progress.
- Keep
the non-emergency telephone number (530-822-7307) readily available near
your telephone.
- The
successful implementation and operation of 911 systems rely upon the people
who "make it work".
Note:
It is MISDEMEANOR under PENAL CODE SECTION 148.3 for any person to willfully
use the 911 system for any purpose other than reporting emergencies. It is
also a MISDEMEANOR under PENAL CODE SECTION 653x for any person who telephones
the 911 emergency line with the intent to annoy or harass another person.
