Come meet your POP Deputy and hear what is occurring in your area.
What is POP   Community Policing is called Problem Oriented Policing,  or POP.  Our POP Team handles quality of life issues as well as picking up all the other areas that patrol deputies don’t regularly get to do.
Crime Prevention works with POP in educating the public about preventing the crime, reporting, awareness of suspicious activities and persons and hardening the target.  Another program is SCIP – Sheriff’s Community Impact Program. It’s a two sided approach, with board members and is a not for profit foundation. SCIP has the good caring side that helps the youngsters that are involved with family gang life style and mentors them and that have the hard punching side that goes after and arrests adults involved in gang activity.  We also have PAL –Police Activities League that is a youth crime prevention program that through athletics creates a trust between cops and kids.   We also have Explorers, who are young want to be cops that work with a deputy as well as a Sheriff’s Youth Leadership Academy which has a vision of changing the after school culture and provides those interested in the law about law enforcement careers and the legal and social consequences of making poor decisions.
They gather up (through intelligence) all the complaints about marijuana grows and go with Code Enforcement for a week checking those locations.  They put together all outstanding warrants in a specific area and attempt to pick up those felons.  They get intel on illegal gaming operations and hold businesses accountable under false business license information or misuse of management of illegal events at spaces where raves are held.  They investigate massage parlors, when citizens and other acquired intelligence has told us are that they are providing sex to customers.  POP Deputies work under cover on known prostitution strolls to arrest the johns and the prostitutes. They work on problem properties such as hotels and vacant abandoned houses, that handle a have a variety of ongoing problems. POP Deputies take issues from citizens at community meetings regarding on-going continuing problems in their neighborhoods.
