San Diego County Sheriff’s Department

The SD Sheriffs department is great! I work at a local gas station and we’re kinda tucked away, in what passes for the middle of nowhere, here in San Diego county. Because of our distance from anything else and our proximity to the 5 freeway, my co-​workers and I have a tendency of being visited by some sketchy people. Although I have never had to call cops for that myself, I have seen them respond to car accidents which commonly happen on or just off the freeway. They are quick to respond and very curious to everyone involved. They are some outstanding individuals and a great example of what law enforcement should be. Keep on keeping on guys!

I tried to do the right thing by reporting some ongoing abuse by a subject working hard to hide his true identity. I had witnessed the effects of the abuse for years and was told details in therapy by one of the victims. Finally I was able to obtain a significant number of emails between the abuser and the two known victims, so again I attempted to report these to a detective in the sex crimes unit. This abuse was so bad that the perp was threatening to «hunt down» anyone who talked to police about the abuse and he discussed shooting people among other disturbing things in those emails.
The detective recorded a phone call where I laid out everything I knew, how I knew it, where the emails were located to review and who I believed the people involved were. He spent all of about 5 minutes on the matter and suggested I have the «victim» call him so he could discuss the matter with her. (I would hope he understood how serious this matter was after recording a phone call that lasted close to an hour, but it didn’t seem like he did) He spoke with her on the phone and was perfectly fine in doing nothing further with the matter. To my knowledge he never reviewed the emails, nor burned a single calorie checking to see if the therapist that urged me to contact him with details was willing to speak with him or anything.
Frustrated and fearing for my own well being, I hired a private investigator to review the information the detective would not. She took a much different approach and was willing to spend a few hours sorting some things out. Fast forward to several months later, the suspect I attempted to identify to the detective is now the subject of a major federal investigation involving multiple homicides and may be one of the most wanted criminals in our country. I thought I would send the detective a copy of the report and a little information regarding what a real investigator does with her time. Guess what he did?
He leaked all that information to the suspect of the investigation… that’s right! Not only did he do nothing, he did much worse… he alarmed the suspect that I was the source of the information given to investigators. This made my life a living hell for the next few weeks. The suspect was trying everything he could to make me pay. On the advice of several reporters who understood the case I was forced into hiding right around the holidays.
The interesting thing is the suspect admits to being visited at home by federal investigators, and several homicide detectives including this departments own representatives. Talk about reckless disregard for justice. I have been sued twice in the last couple of months and this detectives blatantly false assertions were used against me in both cases.
I look forward to the day an arrest is made and I can hold up his (the detective’s) moronic emails — where he boast about not doing anything related to any sort of investigation. If the suspect is responsible for the crimes he is being investigated for, one of which is murdering a law enforcement officer, I hope this detective never lives down his minor oversight.
How could he live with that on his conscious? I hope the day never comes where his daughter or niece is being brutally raped by some monster for years and when he tries to get someone to intervene that his efforts fall on deaf ears.
P. S. As for Internal Affairs, they looked into the manner and wouldn’t even admit the detective said any of the things I know he did. As his emails were used as evidence against me in the court cases. Strange, talk about the turning a blind eye. No wonder the statues representing justice often have a blindfold over the eyes.

Sheriff P. B. Myers from Vista, was both professional, and knowledgable on my report for my ID theft. Admittedly, I was hesitant to call, because I didn’t think I’d get much help, and I was greatly mistaken. Thank you again!

I recently needed help in obtaining information on acquiring a 911 recording and received much help about the process from someone at the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. With patience, she emailed me the steps which I needed to take to fill out a subpoena for the recordings. It was an awesome experience and a great confirmation for me that our tax dollars are not at all being wasted on public safety.
Thank you, San Diego Sheriff’s Department!

Cool place, not very well known
Enjoyed all the statues and police cars

Not that I hope to spend a lot of time at the Sheriff’s department… but it was pretty awesome to go there and get my background check done in under 10 minutes! The staff were so courteous and helpful. I was in and out with not much to worry about, and the payment process was quite simple since you either pay cash or with a debit card. If you ever need a background check completed… this is the place to go!
