2019 was a year of triumph and tragedy. Many years had passed since our agency and our community was tested like it was. Yet, from tribulations often come heroism and triumph. It is a dichotomy that lingers sadness but overwhelms with pride.
The pain is lulled by the kinship of family, friends, faith, and community. Our Sheriff's Office is blessed with all that we need to move forward. With a warrior spirit we push forward with strengthened resolve and fortified dedication to uphold our oath.
We are proud to recognize the listed members of our family as a shining example of what makes the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office such a special place. The successes of our agency are difficult to measure in words and limit to individual efforts as each and every employee made positive contributions.
However, the employees listed here displayed the qualities above and beyond our expectations: honor, bravery, integrity, loyalty, resilience, diligence, dedication, helpfulness, and compassion.
Although the awards ceremony was set to honor our awardees, it was regrettably canceled due to Covid-19 precautions. Nevertheless, we hope to emphasize the accomplishments of the awardees as a whole in this report as the details of their acts could fill volumes.
To our employees, our volunteers, and to our community, thank you for your hard work, dedication to our mission, and your continued support.
