Napa County Sheriff's Office

It's a good day, as we continue to add to our team. Help us welcome our newest deputy, Andy Gutierrez, who graduated from the academy last Friday. Today, Deputy Gutierrez was officially sworn in by Sheriff Ortiz. Deputy Gutierrez grew up Napa and served in the National Guard. He's looking forward to serving our community. Spread the word....We Are Hiring! https://www.napacounty.gov/1455/Recruitment

During today’s Knoxville OHV Patrol, our OHV Team came across a young family that had gotten their vehicle stuck deep in the mud. With no cell service and no assistance on the way, we were able to pull the vehicle out in no time and get the family back on their way. Know your vehicle’s capabilities and please remember to drive safe!

Each year, the Napa County Sheriff’s Office proudly joins law enforcement agencies across California in participating in the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run for the Special Olympics.

Today’s final leg of the run, in Napa County, was a 4.4-mile journey from the Napa County Sheriff’s Office to the American Canyon Police Department. And when you consider why we run, 4.4 miles is actually a short distance.

We run to support athletes who overcome challenges every single day with determination, courage, and heart. We run to help raise awareness and funds for the Special Olympics, an organization that changes lives and creates opportunities for so many incredible individuals in our community.

It’s an honor to stand alongside our fellow law enforcement partners in support of such an important cause. Events like this remind us that serving our community goes beyond the badge — it’s about showing up, giving back, and helping make a difference.

Thank you to everyone who supported and cheered us on today. Together, we continue to carry the flame of hope and inclusion for Special Olympics athletes everywhere. 💙🏃‍♂️🔥

Please help us give a big Napa County welcome to Deputy Brown and Deputy Aragon!
Both deputies have just wrapped up their Field Training Program and will now be serving our community on Valley Patrol. We’re excited to have them on the team and grateful for their dedication to keeping our county safe.

Today, members of our Valley Patrol paid their respects at the Veterans Home Cemetery in Yountville in honor of Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Surrounded by those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, we pause to remember the courage, dedication, and selflessness of the men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.

Their legacy lives on through the freedoms we enjoy every day. Napa County Sheriff’s Office is proud to honor and remember our fallen heroes this Memorial Day.

We also extend our gratitude to the families who carry the weight of that sacrifice. Your strength and resilience will never be forgotten.

We honor the fallen. We remember their service. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

The volunteer members of the Napa County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse had a wonderful time mingling with the cheerful BottleRock campers at Skyline Park.
We also met many new people who traveled quite a distance, and it was great to see familiar faces from past years.

Congratulations to Sheriff’s Citizen Academy #19, on completing your spring journey learning about your local Sheriff’s Office! Great group of attendees, appreciate all of them and looking forward to Class #20 next spring.
