Patrol dogs in Yuba County provide an essential service to the citizens as well as deputies. The K-9s are an important deterrent to potentially violent situations. They are a valuable resource that provides a positive bridge between the community and the Sheriff's Department.

The financial impact of the dogs on the county is minimal when compared to the service they provide.

Local public health directives did not coordinate with local law enforcement prior to announcement.
F3:
The After-Action report was not comprehensive and reflective of the entire pandemic emergency.

There is a service request form on the Marysville Public Works’ website which residents can use to submit service requests for replacing burnt-out bulbs and other Public Works items.
