As we've explained in earlier posts, law enforcement in California is for the most part organized along city and county boundaries. This can make it confusing for people who have been accused of a crime. Whom do you contact to get basic questions answered?
To help, we've assembled a list of websites for agencies people might need to refer to if they or someone they know is arrested in Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, or El Dorado counties. This is not an exhaustive list but does at least provide starting points if you have questions.
Of course, many issues will require the assistance of a criminal defense attorney. Contact the Law Office of Nancy King if you have any questions.
In an upcoming post, we'll discuss what happens when someone is arrested, the procedures that should be followed to ensure that citizens' constitutional rights are protected, and a detailed look at the role of the defense attorney. Until then, for an overview of why a defense lawyer is so important in our legal system, see our September 9 post.
