MESSAGE FROM THE SHERIFF
Our mission as a Sheriff’s office is not to make laws, nor to pick and choose which laws we think are best to enforce. We are charged with enforcing all of the laws created by the people through their legislators. If necessary we bring to justice those who violate the law, who endanger the safety and security of our community. But most importantly, we are there for our community when it is needed, in times of crisis.
When we fail to do these things, we fail the trust of the community. We endanger their trust in their government to ensure life, safety and security for all people. It is a tremendous responsibility but one we accept with great pride for our part in making our community a success. As Sheriff, my job, and the promise to every member of our Sheriff’s Office, is to be as transparent to our community as possible so that your trust in our work throughout the community is strengthened. San Andrea is a tremendous place to call home and we are proud to be your Sheriff’s Office.
