Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact on the General Fund. The Sheriff’s Office is receiving all donation monies from STARS. STARS is a non-profit public benefit corporation and is not funded by the General Fund.
Background Information:
This donation has come from STARS. Upfitting a vehicle means to customize, or augment based on the needs of the vehicle’s use. In this case, the STARS vehicles need to be upfitted with lights, sirens and communication equipment. The two new STARS Mavericks were approved by the Board of Supervisors on 12/3/2024.
The STARS Division encourages neighborhoods to form neighborhood watch groups to communicate with neighbors and citizens to become the eyes and ears of law enforcement. STARS provides seminars and talks on crime prevention techniques, provides extra patrol and house watches for vacationing homeowners and can offer rewards for crime information in Tehama County. It was the first organization of its type to file in California in December 1993.
