Before most people start their day, K9 Bailey is already hard at work helping keep the Sutter County Jail safe.

Over the last several months, K9 Bailey has successfully alerted to multiple pieces of incoming mail containing substances that later tested positive for various narcotics, including he**in, fentanyl, and methamphetamine. Her keen nose and specialized training have helped prevent dangerous drugs from entering our facility.

The introduction of narcotics into correctional facilities presents significant safety risks, especially with the increasing presence of fentanyl. Thanks to K9 Bailey's dedication and the vigilance of our correctional staff, these substances were intercepted before they could reach their intended recipients.

Please join us in recognizing K9 Bailey for her outstanding work and continued commitment to keeping our facility safe. 🐾

As of 5 p.m., Pacific Gas & Electric has not initiated its planned Public Safety Power Shutoff in Sutter County, which was expected to impact residents living in and around the Sutter Buttes. However, it could occur at any point today or tomorrow, so we encourage residents to stay prepared!

In the meantime, we've received a lot of questions about why this is happening. We hope the attached graphic and information below help answer some of those questions.

--------

⚠️ WHAT IS A PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTOFF (PSPS)?
A Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) is a temporary power outage initiated by PG&E during periods of extreme fire weather to help reduce the risk of wildfires caused by electrical equipment.

A PSPS may be considered when conditions such as the following are present:
• Strong winds
• High temperatures
• Dry vegetation and low humidity
• Elevated wildfire risk

The decision to shut off power is made by PG&E based on weather forecasts, field observations, and wildfire risk assessments.

➡️Who decides when a PSPS occurs?
A PSPS is not ordered by Sutter County. The authority and requirements for utility wildfire mitigation programs are established by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates California’s investor-owned utilities, including PG&E. PG&E is responsible for determining when conditions warrant a PSPS and when power can be safely restored.

Sutter County cannot prevent, cancel, authorize, or direct a PSPS. Those decisions are made by PG&E under state regulatory requirements and wildfire safety protocols.

➡️What is Sutter County’s role?
While Sutter County does not control PSPS decisions, we work to:
• Share information with residents
• Coordinate with PG&E and partner agencies
• Coordinate with PG&E to establish Community Resource Centers when needed
• Connect residents with available resources and assistance
• Support preparedness and response efforts throughout the event
• Be ready to respond if an emergency occurs, including fire response, evacuations, and public safety coordination

➡️How can you prepare?
• Charge phones and electronic devices
• Plan for refrigerated medications and medical equipment
• Keep vehicle fuel tanks at least half full
• Have flashlights and extra batteries available
• Monitor trusted sources for updates

The Sutter County Board of Supervisors recently recognized Judge Fritzgerald A. Javellana for his leadership in organizing the Korematsu v. United States Reenactment & Community Program held at Sutter County Superior Court on May 12.

The Board also recognized the local students who participated in the reenactment, whose performances helped bring this important chapter of American history to life for the community.

The program provided an opportunity to reflect on the importance of civil liberties, justice, and civic engagement. Thank you to Judge Javellana, the participating students, and everyone involved in presenting this program to our community.
