Public safety has never mattered to voters more than it does today, and it can’t be trusted in the hands of someone as irresponsible and reckless as Mai Vang.

During her entire time in Congress, especially since I’ve been Sheriff for the last four years, Congresswoman Matsui has directly supported the Sheriff’s Office and has been a champion for public safety.

Make your vote matter, and join me in supporting Doris Matsui for United States Congress.

Congratulations to Sheriff’s IT Division Chief Mike Herman on 20 years of service!

I’ve known Mike since he first started with the Sheriff’s Office as an IT Supervisor when he still wore a pocket protector, and it’s been great watching him work his way up to Division Chief. Congratulations and thank you for 20 years of outstanding service!

Honored to attend the Jeff Mitchell Wiffle Ball Tournament and remember one of our own. Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy Jeff Mitchell was killed in the line of duty on October 27, 2006. Jeff loved baseball, making a day at the ballfield a fitting way to honor his memory.

Jeff’s family turned out big time this morning! It was great spending time with them and seeing so many people come together in his honor. Thank you to Sacramento County Pat Hume and Sacramento DA Thien Ho for coming out and speaking, along with everyone who organized and played to help keep this tradition alive.

Stopped by EVOC to visit our academy recruits as they develop the driving skills they’ll depend on as Deputies.

I remember running to get my license as soon as I turned 16, but we’re seeing more and more young people wait until 18 or later to get theirs. Parents, encourage your kids to start at 16 when they’re ready, and put in the supervised practice.

That foundation matters for any young driver, especially someone entering law enforcement. Our instructors are amazing and will make them expert drivers, but they need a good foundation with some years of driving under their belts before they get to us.

Congratulations to Andy Miller for winning the adult category at the Mark Stasyuk Memorial Fishing Tournament, and Lucas Diacon for taking the youth division for the FIFTH straight year!

Lucas, we’re moving you into the adult category next year, we gotta’ give the other kids a chance!

Thank you to everyone who came out, competed, volunteered, and helped make this tournament possible to honor Deputy Mark Stasyuk and keep his memory alive.

Was up early this morning at Tower Park Marina for the 8th Annual Stasyuk Memorial Fishing Tournament, along with over 20 other boaters!

Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy Mark Stasyuk was just 27 when he was killed in the line of duty on September 17, 2018, while responding to a disturbance in Rancho Cordova. Eight years later, we continue to honor his service and remember his life.

I also got to talk with Lucas, who is just 14 years old and has won this tournament four of the last five years!

Thank you to the Mark Stasyuk Foundation and everyone who helps keep this tradition going. Proud to be here to support Mark’s family and honor his memory.

Huge turnout tonight at Log Off Brewery for the Randy Yamada Foundation’s Oktoberfest fundraiser! I worked the gang unit with Randy in the ’90s, so supporting the foundation in his name means a lot to me.

Big shoutout to Sacramento County Probation Chief Jamal Rowe and everyone at Sacramento Co Probation Dept for showing up strong. Great to see so many people from so many agencies past and present supporting a foundation that helps officers and their families through difficult times and provides scholarships for the next generation.

I rolled up on North Division Deputies Medina and Milam near I-80 and Madison Avenue, where some help from our License Plate Reader (LPR) technology led them to a woman driving a stolen vehicle. She got a trip to jail and they were able to get the victims their vehicle back. Great work guys!
