San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Department, Gary L. Hoving, Arcadia Publishing, 2011

Since 1850, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department has proudly served the community as the chief law enforcement agency.

The office of sheriff was originally created by the California Constitution to meet the public safety needs of each county.

From horseback to gigabit, the sheriff and his deputies have responded to the needs of the citizens by providing the highest quality of protection.

While the manner in which service is delivered has changed significantly since 1850, the quality of protection has remained high throughout history and is chronicled in this unique portrayal.
