DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Sheriff's Office recommends the that the Board of Supervisors conduct a workshop to discuss the proposed strategic evolution of the Sheriff's Office to address trends, challenges and solutions to position the department for the future.

The collaboration resulted in the development of a proactive and phased-in strategic plan that will incorporate opportunities for growth and increased efficiencies.
