Oak Contract Unit, and Evidence. The Sutter County Sheriff's Office patrol
responsibility covers approximately 600 square miles of unincorporated area and
approximately 4 square miles of unincorporated area. A Sheriff's primary
responsibility is to maintain the county jail and its prisoners. The Sheriff
also provides Coroner and Public Administrator functions for all areas in the
County of Sutter. Sutter County Sheriff's Office also provides law enforcement
services to the citizens who live in the unincorporated areas. Incorporated

Live Oak and a portion of the City of Yuba City."
