Siskiyou County, California
Siskiyou County · Yreka the city is the seat · Sacramento is the capital of California · Mount Shasta is a city · the peak is not the hall · Oregon is not this county
Yreka is the seat. Sacramento is the capital. The volcano is not the hall.
Siskiyou County, California, was created 22 March 1852 from parts of Shasta and the old Klamath counties, and named for the Siskiyou range and trail — the trail is not this government. Yreka the city is the county seat. Sacramento is the capital of California. Yreka is not the capital. Mount Shasta the city is not the hall. Do not read this page as Autauga-with-a-volcano. Do not read this page as Shasta-County-with-a-rename. Do not read this page as Oregon-with-a-California-stamp. Do not read this page as a peak postcard as this government. Prattville is Autauga. Redding is Shasta County. Medford is Jackson County, Oregon. None of those is this oval.
Weed is a city — not the hall. Dunsmuir is a city — not the hall. Etna and Fort Jones are cities — not the hall. Montague is a city — not the hall. Dorris and Tulelake are cities — not the hall. Lake Shastina and McCloud are community-service districts — not this Board. Klamath National Forest is federal land, not this jailer.
This page is Side One for the place. The Sheriff’s job — unincorporated remainder patrol, contract-city work the office actually posts, and 315 South Oregon Street this badge still holds — is taught at Office of the Sheriff — Siskiyou County.
Five Supervisors at 1312 Fairlane. They do not sit as the State Assembly.
Siskiyou is a general-law county. A five-member Board of Supervisors, elected by district, sits at 1312 Fairlane Road, Suite 1, Yreka, CA 96097 — (530) 842-8005. They fund roads, the courthouse, and the Sheriff’s budget. They do not hire the Sheriff. The people do. Yreka City Council is a city body. The California Legislature sits in Sacramento. None of those is this Board.
The Superior Court of California, County of Siskiyou, lists 411 Fourth Street, Yreka, CA 96097 — (530) 842-0411. Do not invent an Oregon courthouse as this map. Confirm live at siskiyoucounty.gov and siskiyou.courts.ca.gov.
The Sheriff is a county officer (California Constitution Article XI; Government Code § 24000). This Sheriff is not on the 2026 gubernatorial table. Elections Code § 1300 (AB 759, 2022) moved sheriff and district attorney to the presidential primary. A sheriff elected in 2022 serves a six-year term; the next regular is the 2028 presidential primary. Siskiyou is general law. Last regular 7 June 2022. Take office at noon on the first Monday after January 1 succeeding election (Gov. Code § 24200). The Governor is 2026. That is a different desk in Sacramento.
Elections work lists with the County Clerk–Registrar of Voters at 311 Fourth Street, Room 201, Yreka, CA 96097 — (530) 842-8084. That is county elections work — not Yreka City Hall as this clerk.
I-5 is a road. The Klamath is a river. Oregon is a different state. Shasta is a different county.
Interstate 5, U.S. 97, State Route 96, State Route 3, and State Route 89 meet on this map. The Klamath, Scott, Shasta, and McCloud are water, not a Redding badge and not a Medford badge. Shasta County is south — Redding is that hall. Modoc is east — Alturas is that hall. Trinity is south — Weaverville is that hall. Humboldt is southwest — Eureka is that hall. Del Norte is west — Crescent City is that hall. Jackson County, Oregon, Josephine County, Oregon, and Klamath County, Oregon, sit on the north line — those are Oregon governments. Staff who paste a volcano photograph onto Fairlane Road, or treat Yreka as Redding, or file Mount Shasta the city as this county government, or rewrite this county as Autauga-with-a-peak, or treat 315 South Oregon Street as a booking in the State of Oregon, are on the wrong county.
How a far-north public finds Fairlane, Butte, Fourth, and Oregon Street
Board of Supervisors: 1312 Fairlane Road, Suite 1, Yreka. Sheriff Headquarters: 305 Butte Street, Yreka, CA 96097 — (530) 842-8300; dispatch (530) 841-2900. Jail: 315 South Oregon Street, Yreka, CA 96097 — (530) 842-8157. Court: 411 Fourth Street. Clerk–Registrar: 311 Fourth Street, Room 201. Confirm live at siskiyoucounty.gov. A student who only knows a volcano postcard, or treats Yreka PD as this jailer, or looks for this government in Ashland, has not found this campus.
Oregon Street still jails. Yreka PD does not. CHP does not.
Crime in unincorporated Siskiyou County is this Sheriff. Crime in the City of Yreka is often Yreka Police. This Sheriff is not that municipal department. Siskiyou County Jail at 315 South Oregon Street is this Sheriff’s shop. Official doors did not show a separate county Department of Corrections taking Oregon Street — do not invent a jailer split.
Official Sheriff pages also list contract law-enforcement for Dunsmuir, Montague, and Dorris. Mount Shasta, Weed, Etna, Tulelake, and Lake Shastina post their own police doors. CHP is a state badge. Do not send a family looking for a county booking to Yreka PD, to a Weed police door, or to a CHP scale.
Care without inventing a volcano postcard as this county government
A peace order served in unincorporated remainder. A court-ordered transport from 315 South Oregon Street to 411 Fourth Street without becoming Yreka PD. Mutual aid when timber burns or I-5 closes. Karuk government at Happy Camp and Quartz Valley on this map are nations, not a church this county invented. Do not invent Oregon as this oval. Do not invent Sacramento as this hall.
What Siskiyou County actually watches
Court calendar at Fourth Street. A wreck on I-5. Fire in timber. Snow on the pass. A river rise on the Klamath. Coordination with city PDs, CHP, Cal Fire, Forest Service LEOs, and Oregon sheriffs without becoming those departments. Timber is work. The peak is weather and a park. Neither is Shasta County as this oval.

Orientation adapted from the California Constitution Article XI, Elections Code § 1300, Government Code §§ 24000, 24200, 25304, and 26600, Siskiyou County official pages (siskiyoucounty.gov), Siskiyou Superior Court, and the Secretary of State for education. The Sheriff of record is whatever those sources say today. Confirm HQ versus court versus jail, and Yreka PD versus this badge, on official pages before you travel.
