Today is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Today, we wish to thank the men and women of the Sheriff’s Office who dedicate their lives to the service of others and a greater good. From the Technicians processing records requests, jail bookings, fiscal paperwork and evidence, to the Dispatchers who tirelessly answer the emergency calls, to the Correctional Officers who are working in the Placerville and South Lake Tahoe jails ensuring the safety and security of the facilities and inmates, and to the Deputies who are actively patrolling the county. Each person within the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office plays a vital role to the success of law enforcement in El Dorado County. As we celebrate this appreciation day, we also celebrate the other law enforcement agencies not only in El Dorado County, but in California and the nation.
