The primary focus of the Sacramento Police Department is to ensure the safety of officers, professional staff and the entire community. Below are some updates in response to questions and concerns that we have received from our community:

Concerns Regarding Enforcement of the Sacramento County Stay at Home Order:

- You will not be stopped by the Sacramento Police Department solely to inquire the purpose of your travel. 

- Rumors stating that a curfew is in effect are false.  Please continue to adhere to the guidelines in the Stay at Home Order and limit outside contact to essential business.

- Please maintain social distancing and refrain from gathering in groups.

- The California Army National Guard has been activated to assist with humanitarian aid and will not be assisting with law enforcement functions. They will be assisting local food shelters with the distribution of food to boost volunteer numbers.  If additional COVID 19 testing sites are set up, the National Guard would assist at those sites as well.

- Sacramento County has set up a page with information on the Stay at Home Order, FAQs, and contact numbers if you have any other questions.  Below is the link to that page:
