Thank you for visiting our website! The Santa Cruz County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association is a nonprofit mutual benefit corporation made up of active and retired deputies. A few of the stated objectives of our association are:
- To organize its members for the purpose of developing a spirit of cooperation among those who have dedicated themselves to law enforcement
- To establish and maintain greater understanding, cooperation and support between law enforcement and the public which it serves
- To secure adequate working conditions, legal defense and all other matters relating to the general welfare of the members
I feel very fortunate to be able to do a job I love in the community where I grew up and still live today. To perform such a complex, ever-changing and potentially dangerous job in a different county, where we were not generally appreciated and supported by its residents, would be much less satisfying and infinitely more challenging.
Many of the members of this association are also residents of the community they work in, making our connection to Santa Cruz County a personal one, not merely a professional one. Therefore, our association attempts to find ways to give back to our community whenever possible. Whether it’s buying Halloween candy for local children to enjoy at the annual Sheriff’s Office Trunk or Treat event, sponsoring local youth sports teams or financially contributing to some of the amazing community organizations throughout our county, we are committed to helping however we can!
In return, we ask members of the public to engage with us to see how our association can better serve the needs of our community and improve the profession of law enforcement. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see the latest news and events related to the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association and our local community. Feel free to make a tax-deductible donation to our association that will help us meet our goals. Finally, please do not hesitate to reach out to us any time and let us know what matters to you!
Sincerely,
Ethan Rumrill
President
Santa Cruz County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association
