Sheriff Blocks Auburn PD Data Access | Sacramento News

A new Placer County Civil Grand Jury report reveals deep tensions between the Sheriff’s Office and Auburn Police Department, exposing how blocked access to critical tech and poor inter-agency cooperation have endangered public safety. For two years, the Sheriff’s Office deliberately withheld automated license plate reader data from Auburn PD, crippling their ability to track stolen vehicles proactively. Compounding the issue, deputies often sit idle during calls for backup or follow Auburn officers on personal errands — not helping, just watching. But there’s hope: the grand jury sees signs of progress, like a recent CHP agreement, and believes a similar pact could mend relations. Sheriff Wayne Woo and Auburn Chief Bryan Morrison have until August 31 to respond — and this could be the chance to build real, safer collaboration.
