          One arrest so far at Deltopia, and it’s just about noon as Soltopia events are getting underway. This is a noticeably different start compared to past years. Deputies are out and about, and we’re hoping this sets the tone for a safe and fun weekend. Make good decisions, look out for each other, and help us keep things moving in the right direction.

          The work of the Bomb Squad is painstaking and methodical, requiring extreme patience, specialized training, and attention to detail. These deputies are called when situations are at their most dangerous, and their careful, deliberate approach is what keeps everyone safe.

          Out in Cuyama, things look a little different. πŸŒ„
          Our Cuyama substation is staffed by resident deputies β€” meaning they don’t just patrol this community, they live here. They know the backroads, the ranches, the families, and the history.
          In a rural area where backup can be miles away, relationships matter. And in Cuyama, those relationships run deep. 🀝
          Small station. Big commitment.
