Citygate completed a comprehensive services delivery and staffing review of the Yuba County Sheriff’s Department to examine the current delivery of services and provide recommendations of alternatives needed to meet current best practices concerning appropriate staffing levels. The work plan addressed all facets of field, command, and support operations, including, but not limited to: the Operations Division, the Patrol Division, Investigations, Communications and Records, the Support Services Division, and Crime Analysis, as well as the Reserve and Volunteer programs. Animal Care Services and Corrections were excluded from this study.

Citygate assessed the feasibility for shared fire services amongst the fire agencies of the valley floor of Yuba County. This multi-phase review assessed the possibility for operational and administrative consolidations, cooperative agreements, Joint Powers Authorities, contracts-for-service, or other viable options for consolidation.
