Our Mission:
Our mission is to bridge the gap between El Dorado County Schools and the Sheriff's
Office through total care and total professionalism. We work closely with school staff
and administration to be involved with the children of the community in various aspects
within the elementary school ages.
Our Program:
The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office has developed a new Kindergarten through Sixth
grade youth engagement program called S.C.H.I.E.L.D. SCHIELD will be visiting elementary
schools throughout El Dorado County. This program is intended to create positive
relationships between elementary students and the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.
SCHIELD Deputies have been instructed and trained in the newest D.A.R.E. curriculum to
assist youth in healthy choice options.
A SCHIELD Deputy will be on schools' campus from drop-off through pick-up times.
A SCHIELD Deputy will be highly visible on campus during all school hours, to include
recess, breakfast times and lunch times during their weekly activities. The SCHIELD
Deputy plans to be active during play and physical education times, as well as within
classrooms. A SCHIELD Deputy's primary function will be public relations and community
outreach for children, staff, and parents in the Kindergarten through Sixth grade age
range.
