El Dorado County Sheriff's Office 2018 Annual Report | Page 53

Sheriffs: El Dorado County

In 2014, Sheriff D'Agostini called a local TV

production studio in an effort to get a recruiting

clip lined up to attract potential employees.

Producer Michael Dennis was the lucky guy

who got to take a ride along with deputies and

see first hand what a day on patrol entails.

"After spending almost two months out on patrol with the Sheriff's Deputies..." following all teams and units "I was completely

overwhelmed with the quality, integrity, level of communication skills and degree of compassion they showed both the victims and the perpetrators of crime"

- Michael Dennis

(Mountain Democrat, March 20, 2019)

In the five years since that first ride along, Michael Dennis and his crew have been out with the deputies three days a week, every week, logging countless hours of footage to bring into homes nationwide.

With the changing atmosphere around law enforcement, Sheriffs: El Dorado County represents El Dorado County Sheriff's employees as the real people they are, serving their community. Exemplifying the Sheriff's Vision of Total Care, Total Enforcement and Total Professionalism.

The quality work they have put together was recognized by the California On Location Awards ceremony in Beverly Hills, California in December 2018. This ceremony celebrated the best location managers, location teams and public employees in California.

Sheriffs: El Dorado County took home two awards that night.
