October 31, 2024 – El Dorado County Sheriff's Office officials report that earlier this month, our Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) located a camp in the wooded area in front of Walmart. Unfortunately, we found that all individuals present had previously been trespassed from the property due to past violations. As a result, they were placed under arrest for trespassing and booked into county jail.  All of their belongings were collected and stored.

Our Homeless Outreach Team remains committed to the Sheriff’s Office vision of, “Total enforcement on crime and criminals. Total care for victims, witnesses and the community.” The Homeless Outreach Team always strives to provide resources to those seeking assistance while ensuring the safety and well-being of our community. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to create a safer environment for everyone.
