Vrabel promoted to detective bureau

With 24 years experience in the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, 13 of those serving the Fallbrook/Bonsall community, Corporal Tom Vrabel has been selected to fill an open position in the detective bureau at the Fallbrook Substation.

The position became open after Detective Leo Rodrigues accepted a transfer to Chula Vista. Substation commander Lt. Phil Brust didn’t hesitate to give the job to Vrabel.

“Not to take away from anyone else, but [Vrabel] is going to be a breath of fresh air; the community is going to benefit from him being in this position,” said Brust.
