Sonora, CA…Yesterday afternoon the governor issued a limited stay at home order. We understand the order and respect the authority of executive orders; however, this executive order will not change any aspect of how the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office provides safety and security to our community.

Throughout the pandemic, the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Office and Public Health has taken an education first approach with regard to the public health orders. We will continue to educate and encourage everyone to make the best decisions to keep themselves and their families safe.

Deputies will not be responding to requests for face-coverings, social gatherings, or pandemic related curfews. We will be focusing on patrol operations to prevent criminal activity and preserve the safety of our community.

-Sheriff Bill Pooley
