Can families get help with truancy or running away behavior?

Running away or truancy is not a criminal offense, yet they are possibly early indicators of future criminal behavior. The Placer County Sheriff’s Office has a full-time deputy assigned to each high school and middle school, and elementary school in the county. These cases come to the attention of law enforcement because of the at-risk behavior involved. If you would like to contact the officer assigned to your child’s school please call the Sheriff’s Office, South Placer Sub-Station at 916-652-2400.
