The Sheriff’s Team of Active Residents in Service (STARS) is an all-volunteer auxiliary unit of the Sheriff's Office. The STARS organization enhances the BCSO mission by providing services to the citizens of Butte County. In addition to assisting at local community events, STARS volunteers conduct vacation checks (by request) in the unincorporated areas of Butte County for citizens who wish for their homes and property to be checked on while they are away. STARS volunteers also provide graffiti removal in the unincorporated areas of Butte County as well as manning the reception desk at the Sheriff’s North County Service Center in Chico and the Magalia Sub-Station.
