SUTTER COUNTY, CA (MPG) - The Sutter County Sheriff's Office is proud to announce the official launch of the Blue Envelope Program. The Blue Envelope Program is designed to promote inclusivity and serve as an enhanced communication awareness tool between law enforcement and community members diagnosed with a condition or disability, such as, autism spectrum disorder, dementia, anxiety, or other conditions that might require additional accommodation or awareness during a law enforcement interaction. Adopted by numerous law enforcement agencies across the country, the Blue Envelope Program is part of our continued commitment to fostering trust and understanding for the people we serve. 

The Blue Envelope Program works by allowing an individual to readily display the Blue Envelope logo or present a Blue Envelope upon contact with law enforcement, or other community service personnel. The Blue Envelope can contain the individual's identification, contact information, or pertinent vehicle operating documents, such as, the vehicle registration and proof of insurance. The Blue Envelope Program does not have a registry component; therefore, the program is voluntary and self-implemented. 

The following items are available for free at the Sutter County Sheriff's Office and the Live Oak Substation. Blue Envelope, lanyards, seatbelt covers, buttons, key chains, wristbands and stickers
