Behind every case is a family, a story, and a team working with compassion and professionalism during some of life's most difficult moments. 💚

In 2025, the Humboldt County Coroner-Public Administrator's Office investigated 321 deaths, conducted 189 autopsies, and dedicated 3,964 volunteer hours serving our community.

Their work often happens behind the scenes, but their impact is felt by countless families navigating loss. Thank you to the dedicated staff and volunteers who provide care, support, and dignity when it matters most.

Great work, Deputy King! 🌟

A few weeks ago, McKinleyville Little League experienced a disappointing setback when our maintenance conex was broken into. The conex stores the equipment our volunteers use to keep our fields looking their best for our players and families. During the theft, two w**d eaters and fuel cans were taken.

Earlier this week, Deputy Taylor King located one of our missing gas cans. Not only did he return it, but he returned it completely full. We were incredibly grateful for that gesture alone.

Then, the very next day, Deputy King showed up again, this time with not one, but two NEW w**d eaters to replace the ones that had been stolen.
For a nonprofit, volunteer ran organization like ours, this kind of support means more than words can express.

Equipment like this is essential to maintaining our fields and keeping our league running for the hundreds of kids and families who call McKinleyville Little League home.

Taylor was a McKinleyville Little League player himself and humbly says he's just “being an alumni”. But to us, this is so much bigger than that. This is what community looks like. This is neighbors helping neighbors. This is someone stepping up to support the next generation of Little Leaguers.

Thank you, Deputy King, for your generosity, your kindness, and your commitment to our community. We are incredibly grateful.

This is what we love about McKinleyville Little League. ⚾️ 🥎

As we approach the Fourth of July, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office encourages residents to celebrate safely and responsibly.

Before purchasing fireworks, make sure they are permitted where you live. In California, approved consumer fireworks will have the State Fire Marshal “Safe and Sane” seal on the packaging along with safety instructions.

With dry summer conditions, fireworks can quickly become a fire risk. Whenever possible, consider attending a public fireworks display and leave it to the professionals.

Have a fun and safe Fourth of July, Humboldt County!

🎆 LEAVE IT TO THE PROS.

In seconds, dry grass becomes a wildfire.

In seconds, a firework becomes a life-altering injury.

Every year, fireworks spark preventable fires and send thousands of people to the emergency room.

Skip the risk. Attend a professional fireworks show and help keep your community safe this Fourth of July.
