Monterey County Sheriff's Office
The Monterey County Sheriff's Office is the county law enforcement agency for Monterey County, California. It provides protection and law enforcement to the non-municipal areas of Monterey County.
The Sheriff's Office provides Monterey County with a special weapons and tactics (SWAT) team, a search and rescue team (SAR), a coroner's division, a court services division, a detention division (jail), a civil services division, a narcotics division, an investigations division, a crime prevention unit, a hostage/crisis negotiation team (HNT), a mounted search unit (volunteer), a K-9 unit, a motor squadron (volunteer), an aero squad (volunteer), and a homeland security division. Each of these is organized into one of three Bureaus: the Administrative Bureau, the Enforcement Operations Bureau, and the Custody Operations Bureau.
The Sheriff's Office was founded in 1850; and as such the department is one hundred and fifty-eight years old. The Sheriff's Office is one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in the state of California. The Sheriff's Office has about 450 employees and a budget of over 50 million dollars.
== History of the Office of the Sheriff, Monterey County ==
The Office of the Sheriff, Monterey County was founded in 1850 when Sheriff William Roach was elected. William Roach was considered by many to be a very controversial sheriff. He was a part of the New York Regiment of volunteer soldiers sent to fight in the Mexican-American War. However, the regiment arrived too late to fight the war. Many of the soldiers decided to stay and become a part of the California gold rush. When Roach decided to run for sheriff, he had a large percent of the vote due to the large population of New York Regiment soldiers living in Monterey County. Roach later became involved in a feud known as the Roach-Belcher feud. The Monterey County Sheriff's Office, like many offices, was small (1-3 men) even into the 1910s. The department didn't even obtain uniforms until the late 1930s. They were obtained through a traveling uniform peddler and each deputy was allowed to choose his own badge from a catalog. The Monterey County Sheriff's Office was considered a largely unprofessional office until 1962, when sheriff Davenport was elected. Davenport chose a man named Rodriguez to be his under-sheriff. Under-sheriff Rodriguez was a World War II veteran and was very strict. He instituted reforms large and small. Small being deputies must wear a hat at all times and large being that deputies could no longer drink on the job (no matter how well they held liquor). He also required deputies to carry firearms at all times even if they were off duty. This time period is considered to be the beginning of the present Monterey County Sheriff's Office by many. The Sheriff's Office was sued in order to force it to comply with the new federal peace officer safety regulations. The department lost and all officers were equipped with “bullet-proof” vests. The Sheriff's Office now has a staff of armored deputies and (semi-)automatic weapons.
