The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office Resident
Deputy program is a modern approach to
traditional law enforcement that the citizens of
El Dorado County have come to rely on and
revere. Resident Deputies typically work in the
sparsely populated outlying area of El Dorado
County. These deputies work hard to improve
community relations by becoming an integral
part of the communities where they live and
work.
The El Dorado Sheriff's Office enacted the
Resident Deputy program in the late 1960’s,
with a Resident Deputy posting in the Tahoma
area of the Tahoe basin. In 2015, the El Dorado
County Sheriff’s Office created three new
Resident Deputy positions; North County,
South County, and Pollock Pines/Crystal Basin.
Resident Deputies are responsible for assisting
the assigned communities they reside in by
conducting uniformed patrol operations,
coordinating with local businesses, attending
community meetings, attending community
events, helping to establish neighborhood
watch programs, conducting criminal
investigations, dealing with issues within the
local schools, providing education to the
communities, observing local crime trends,
assisting with focused policing to resolve
neighborhood issues, assisting outside
agencies with investigation within the
communities and most importantly being there
when the community needs them.
In 2018, Resident Deputies attended over 50
community meetings, attended approximately
20 community events, established two new
neighborhood watch programs, helped develop and implement a Health and Safety Fair, delivered several dozen meals to needy
families, helped resolve approximately five
focused community issues, completed and
enacted several search warrants, assisted
detectives with multiple investigations,
recovered approximately eight stolen vehicles,
and even attended one birthday party.
Resident Deputies also hold several collateral
assignments within the Sheriff's Office
including positions with Crime Scene
Investigation (CSI), the Dive Team, Gang Unit,
Search and Rescue, and Honor Guard. The
deputies assigned as Resident Deputies have a unique relationship with the communities they reside in. The deputies work hard to foster a feeling of cooperation between the Sheriff's
Office and the community in order to maximize
the relationship and communication between
El Dorado County Sheriff's Deputies and the
community.
