Colusa County Sheriff's Office
Colusa County in the heart of the Sacramento River Valley is in the north Central Interior of California, bordered to the west by the Coastal Mountain Range and to our east the Sacramento River. Untouched by massive city development, farm and farm related industry make up 25 percent of total employment, the highest in the Sacramento Valley. Although the county is interested in attracting a range of industries, its fundamental strategy is to build on its growing agribusiness base.
Colusa County is located on Interstate-5 and State Highway 20, the main north/south & east/west thoroughfares running across her centerline. With our close proximity to the State Capitol, the Sacramento International Airport is approximately 30 minutes south of the county line.
The topography of Colusa County is varied. The 7,000-foot peak of Snow Mountain sits on the County's western edge in the Mendocino National Forest. Traveling down from the mountain, one passes the rangelands that cover much of the County's western third. About 10 miles west of Interstate-5, these foothills ease into the rich, fertile soils of the Sacramento Valley. The Sacramento River, with a watershed covering much of Upstate California’s interior, washes the county's eastern boundary.
The mission of the Colusa County Sheriff’s Office is to maintain the quality of life we enjoy and to ensure our county is a safe place to live, work and visit.
This will be accomplished by safeguarding our liberties, building community partnerships, crime prevention and educating our youth on drug awareness and resistance.
We are committed to this mission and conduct our responsibilities with the highest degree of integrity and dedication to our profession.
