Back the badge week in Yuba-sutter
Also: Sutter County looking for grand jury members
Support National Police Week
To kick off National Police Week, Yuba-sutter Back the Badge will be at Rolling Stone Pizza at New Earth Market (1475 Tharp Road) Monday – and every Monday in May – fundraising for its nonprofit that supports local law enforcement families and education and advocacy efforts. Rolling Stone owner Jim King will be donating 10 percent of profits to the nonprofit.
The Yuba City Police Department is hosting its annual Yuba-sutter Peace Officer Memorial on Wednesday, May 15, at 10 a.m. at the department (1545 Poole Boulevard). The memorial is open to the public and will represent all local agencies, including Beale Air Force Base. The event will honor eight officers from California who died in the line of duty last year, and 13 from over the years who have connections to the community.

Sutter County Grand Jury recruitment
Sutter County Superior Court is accepting applications for 2019-20 grand jury members.
Over the course of one year, jurors will investigate the operations of various officers, department and agencies of local government including city and county offices, school districts and special districts, according to a court press release. As an independent body that operates separate from the entities and officials it investigates, this watchdog agency has broad access to public officials, employees, records and information and promotes government accountability. The term begins July 1 and ends June 30 with a commitment that may require 4 to 10 hours per week. To be qualified, candidates must have lived in Sutter County for at least one year, be a U.S. citizen, be at least 18 years old, and have sufficient knowledge of English.
Those who are interested may submit an application, located online at: https://tinyurl.com/ y5ushklo. There will be an interview before final approval for the 17-person panel.
