Sheriff's Office Priorities

While all law enforcement agencies prioritize their calls for service, the Sheriff’s Administrations embraces other priorities as well. These include the reduction of crime by proactively targeting gang activities and the illegal use and/or possession of controlled substances. Other major areas of concern are the safety of our children in the school environments, through the School Resource Officer program, safe streets/accident reduction through Traffic Management, and the impact the mental health crisis has on the community. All Sheriff’s programs are designed with components of education, prevention, and ultimately enforcement.
