Del Norte County’s online jail inmate database is available to the public once again following an upgrade that took nearly three months to complete.
The new system went live on Tuesday and features a mapping tool that allows users to track calls for service. As the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office gets more use out of it, people will be able to track police activity within specific time frames, Lt. Kyle Stevens told Redwood Voice Community News.
“We switched over, I believe, towards the end of October so it’s only got about two to three months worth of information,” he said, referring to the public-facing portion of the system. “As the year goes on, it’ll get more and more robust.”

Crescent City Harbor commissioners are expected to ask State Sen. Mike McGuire to support Del Norte and Humboldt counties’ commercial fishing fleets.
The Board of Commissioners on Tuesday will discuss sending a letter to McGuire, who represents the North Coast and is the highest-ranking member of the California State Senate.
Harbormaster Mike Rademaker said he expects commissioners to discuss the substance of the letter and then he intends to reach out to the Humboldt Bay Harbor District to coordinate on a joint message to the state senator.

Contract negotiations between the union representing local teachers and Del Norte Unified School District have hit an impasse with a dispute over salaries being the primary roadblock.
DNUSD is offering a one-time cash bonus of $750 per certificated employee. Del Norte Teachers Association negotiators are pushing for ongoing salary increases for union members. But with COVID dollars having run out and the potential for millions in budget cuts in the next few months, DNUSD officials say the district can’t afford the union’s ask.
DNTA President Amber Tiedeken-Cron, who teaches seventh- and eighth-grade history and math at Smith River School, doesn’t buy that explanation.

The atmospheric river that drenched the North Coast and Southern Oregon over the last few days dumped nearly 2 inches of rain on Jack McNamara Field between Thursday and Saturday, according to a National Weather Service meteorologist.
The bulk of the rain — about 1.57 inches — fell on Saturday, meteorologist Edward Swafford told Redwood Voice Community News on Monday.
With the ground already saturated, water runoff brought the Smith River within a half-inch of minor flood stage at the Dr. Fine Bridge on Sunday, according to the National Water Prediction Service. The NWS issued a flood warning for the area near the bridge at 8:39 a.m. Sunday, warning that flooding was likely near the quarry on South Bank Road. That flood warning was canceled at 11:55 p.m., the Del Norte Office of Emergency Services posted on Facebook.
