UPDATE: MISSING PERSON THOMAS UMBLE HAS BEEN LOCATED AND IS OKAY. SEARCH AND RESCUE CREWS ARE TRANSPORTING HIM OUT OF THE SNOW TO BE REUNITED WITH FAMILY. WE ARE THANKFUL FOR A POSITIVE OUTCOME! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ASSISTED WITH THE SEARCH.

BCSO and BCSO Search and Rescue, with the assistance of CHP, are currently searching for missing person Thomas Umble. Thomas is 75 years old and was last seen wearing blue jeans, a blue plaid shirt and a blue jacket. Thomas left his residence yesterday afternoon to drive to the snow above Inskip, and has not returned home. Thomas was driving a White Isuzu Trooper. Search and Rescue members searched through the night last night and are continuing to search today. Snowmobiles, the Snow Cat, multiple 4 wheel drive vehicles, and the CHP Helicopter are being used. Anyone with information is encouraged to call BCSO at 538-7322.

Day 4 of National Telecommunicators Week: BCSO Dispatch is a very busy place, in 2017 BCSO Dispatchers handled 206,383 phone calls! Don't forget all the radio traffic they listen and respond to as they handle all those phone calls! Great job BCSO Dispatch!

Today, we took a big step forward in the Butte County Sheriff’s Office Jail Expansion and Evidence/Morgue Project:
A prequalification briefing was held at BCSO, for contractors, sub-contractors and consultants to review the steps to qualify to participate in these construction projects.
We are excited to see this process moving forward.
