Providing professional law enforcement services and preventing crimes are but two of the key elements of the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office Mission. Our commitment to the safety and well-being of our citizens and visitors carries through on a regional level, as well, with services provided by our collaborative programs, such as our Multi-Jurisdictional Task Forces. Our compassion, for not only those affected by crime or natural disasters, but for various groups – San Mateo County's youth, for example – is extended through targeted programming, such as the Sheriff's Activities League (SAL). Finally, it is through the integrity of our personnel, covering forty classifications and over 650 positions that we work together as a team to achieve and sustain our goals and serve our community.
Commitment, Integrity, Compassion – These are our values and our pledge to all citizens and the visitors to San Mateo County. Read more...
