The San Diego County Sheriff's Department (SDSO), is the primary and largest law enforcement agency in San Diego County, California, and one of the largest sheriff's departments in the United States: with over 4,000 employees, an annual budget of over $600 million, and a service area over 4,500 square miles extending to a 60-mile international border. The department, established in 1850, has over 4,000 sworn deputies and additional civilian support personnel servicing an area of nearly 4,526 mi².


The SDSO provides general law enforcement and public safety services to all unincorporated areas of the county (traffic enforcement, accidents, and other traffic related issues are handled by the California Highway Patrol).


Nine incorporated cities within the county (Del Mar, Encinitas, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway, San Marcos, Santee, Solana Beach, and Vista) contract with the department for municipal law enforcement and public safety services. Within these cities, traffic enforcement is also provided.


The department operates and provides detention facilities (jails), court services, and specialized regional services (such as air support, search and rescue, SWAT, etc.) to all of the county and the nine contract cities.


The Wireless Services Division is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the San Diego County-Imperial County Regional Communications System (RCS).


The sheriff is elected by the voters of San Diego County. The current sheriff is William Gore, who was appointed by the Board of Supervisors in 2009 when Bill Kolender resigned,[1] and then was elected to a full term in June 2010.[2]

Over the years, the sheriff's office's marked vehicles have sported unusual paint schemes. Originally in a traditional black and white, they transitioned to a pink-salmon color in the 1960s. From 1971 to 1991 the vehicles were painted kelly green-and-white which were the campaign colors of Sheriff John F. Duffy. When he retired the fleet was returned to the black-and-white color scheme and has remained so ever since. The department has also had a few all-white cars over the years, but these were for Traffic Enforcement and Volunteer Patrols only.


Today, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department utilizes the Ford Crown Victoria and Ford Explorer as their base models for their fleet. The Dodge Charger is the base model for SDSO Traffic Units.[citation needed]



Weapons[edit]




  • Glock 22 .40 S&W- standard issue, some equipped with flashlight depending on deputy preference.[3]


  • Glock 23 .40 S&W- used by detectives and other investigators, some regular deputies carry it as well as an off duty weapon.


  • Glock 27 .40 S&W- backup gun for deputies, used by some investigators as well as an off duty weapon for some deputies.


  • Colt CAR-15A1/A2- R6520 variant used as a patrol rifle for deputies as is the R0603 (M16A1) variant can also be seen in patrol vehicles.


  • Remington 870 12 gauge- standard issue shotgun for deputies, is a pump action shotgun.


  • Springfield Armory M-14- used for certain situations, is not the standard issue rifle but the SDSO does have a few M-14's in the agencies inventory.[4]

History[edit]


The San Diego Sheriff department was formed in 1850, and since then it has served a diverse county consisting of many constituents with competing interests. San Diego Sheriff's department was a co-appellant in the very famous Supreme Court of the United States and Ninth Circuit cases Kolender v. Lawson, 461 U.S. 352 (1983),[14][15] which held unconstitutional laws that allow law enforcement to demand that "loiterers" and "wanderers" provide identification; this continues to affect other departments nationwide.[16][17][18]
