Sheriff's Department Media Relations

The San Diego County Sheriff's Department will continue to provide public safety services for its contract cities.

We take pride in announcing today that all nine of our contract cities have unanimously ratified a five-year extension to continue with the Sheriff's Department as their law enforcement provider. Those cities are Imperial Beach, Encinitas, Del Mar, Lemon Grove, Poway, Santee, San Marcos, Solana Beach and Vista.

Established in 1850, the Sheriff's Department has been providing public safety services to nine contract cities since 1959. With a staff of 4,693, we protect and serve a population of more than 960,000. Our patrol area covers 4,500 square miles including those in nine contract cities, as well as unincorporated areas of the county along the Mexican border.

We have 21 stations and substations, as well as nearly a dozen support service offices in the region. Helicopter, Bomb/Arson, Crime Lab, Homicide and Special Enforcement Detail (SED/SWAT) are just some of the emergency services we provide for free to our contract cities and partner law enforcement agencies across the county.

We appreciate the continued support of our contract cities. The men and women of this department understand the level of trust and responsibility you have placed in us. Our collaborative partnership with the community is key to keeping our county a vibrant and safe place to live, work and visit. We are committed to providing service in a manner that is honest, fair, responsive, efficient, inclusive and respectful to all.

Their individual backgrounds, skills and experiences from all over the world reflect the diverse communities we are sworn to serve and protect. I am privileged to work with caring professionals who take pride in advancing our mission of providing quality public safety service to everyone in San Diego County." – Undersheriff Kelly Martinez
