The 2028 oval on the high desert — not the 2026 Governor, not HDSP as this hire
This page is the arena for this office. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place is taught at Lassen County, California.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
This Sheriff is not on the 2026 ballot. California moved sheriff and district attorney to the presidential table. The Governor is 2026. That is a different desk in Sacramento.
Susanville hires a Sheriff who still holds Cady Lane — not Rice Canyon
Elections Code § 1300 (AB 759, 2022): sheriff and district attorney with the presidential primary. A 2022 winner serves six years. Lassen is general law — it did not opt this desk off that table.
- Last regular: Tuesday, 7 June 2022.
- Next regular: the 2028 presidential primary. If no majority under §§ 8140–8141, runoff at the presidential general. Confirm the live 2028 date on the California SOS elections calendar.
- Take office: noon on the first Monday after January 1 succeeding election (Gov. Code § 24200). For 2028 that is the first Monday after 1 January 2029. 1 January 2029 is a Monday, so Monday, 8 January 2029.
- Vacancy: Board of Supervisors appointment (Gov. Code § 25304). Undersheriff temporarily discharges (§ 24105).
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Five Supervisors sit — staggered desks, not this oval. An HDSP rumor does not hire this badge. Susanville PD is a city badge. Washoe County is Nevada. Sacramento is the capital. Susanville is the seat.
Registrar work sits at 220 S. Lassen, Suite 5 — not City Hall as this clerk
County Clerk-Recorder / Registrar of Voters work for Lassen County lists at 220 South Lassen Street, Suite 5, Susanville — (530) 251-8217. That is county elections work — not Susanville City Hall as this clerk, not a Reno clerk as this clerk, not a Sacramento statewide clerk as this clerk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and vote-by-mail on sos.ca.gov and lassencounty.org.
Sample ballot in Lassen County, California — not HDSP as this oval
Do not take names from a Susanville PD flyer, an HDSP rumor, a Reno municipal card, or a Sacramento statewide card as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — California Secretary of State and the Lassen County Clerk-Recorder
- Lassen County elections
- Current Sheriff of record — official Lassen County Sheriff listing at lassencounty.org
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins. A majority in the primary can finish the race without a November reprint — confirm the Clerk, do not invent a missing race. Do not invent a 2026 sheriff oval here.
What you are hiring — high-desert remainder patrol and Cady Lane
You are hiring the Sheriff of Lassen County, California — unincorporated patrol across Westwood, Herlong, Doyle, Bieber, Janesville, Standish, and the remainder (Susanville is the only city); warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 2610 Riverside Drive; and the Adult Detention Facility on Sheriff Cady Lane. You are not hiring Susanville Police. You are not hiring CDCR. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Cady Lane as this jailer, Susanville as the seat not the capital, HDSP as CDCR, CCC as deactivated, and Autauga-with-sage as not this rewrite.
Remedy when a writ misses Westwood remainder
A bad service or a paper that missed Janesville remainder or Bieber remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Supervisors are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Susanville PD. Not HDSP as this oval.
Relief when the plateau burns or 395 ices
Fire on the high desert, ice on SR 36, a wreck on US 395, a night road outside Herlong — this county’s mutual aid first. Plumas is a different count. Modoc is a different count. Washoe is a different state. Susanville city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Riverside docket, a night shift toward Bieber
Papers. A Susanville courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated 395 frontage remains this badge. Cady Lane remains this badge. HDSP does not.
Due process does not wait for a Reno rumor
A levy in unincorporated Lassen County, California, still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed HDSP, or because a visitor photographed Susanville as if it were the capital.
Rights from Westwood to Doyle without becoming CDCR
Equal protection on the high-desert map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker at Cady Lane and a family in Susanville hire the same Sheriff.
