From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Butte County Sheriff's Department, also known as the Butte County Sheriff's Office, is a local law enforcement agency that serves Butte County, California. It provides general-service law enforcement to unincorporated areas of Butte County, serving as the equivalent of the county police for unincorporated areas of the county as well as incorporated cities within the county who have contracted with the agency for law-enforcement services (known as "contract cities" in local jargon). It also holds primary jurisdiction over facilities operated by Butte County, such as local parks, marinas and government buildings; provides marshal service for the Superior Court of Butte County; operates the county jail system; and provides services such as laboratories and academy training to smaller law enforcement agencies within the county. The current sheriff is Perry Reniff.
