The Office of the Sheriff Fugitive Unit has Deputy Sheriffs dedicated to handling fugitive cases who are are experts in the field of extradition and rendition. The Fugitive Unit is often contacted for information and advice regarding fugitive cases being handled by individual law enforcement agencies. Contracting extradition and rendition services with the Office of the Sheriff Fugitive Unit is the best available alternative for police agencies within the county due to our specially trained staff. The benefits of this arrangement to both individual police agencies and the Office of the Sheriff are considerable. For a reasonable flat fee, municipalities can quickly turn over this complicated process to officers who are training and experienced in the rendition process. The establishment of such an agreement will also have the added benefit of implementing a more consistent and timely disposition of fugitive cases within Contra Costa County. This action would result in the Sheriff's Office entering into a contract with Oakley Police Department.
