What is the Sheriff's Advisory Council (SAC)?
The Monterey County Sheriff’s Advisory Council (SAC) is a non-profit 501c3 pubic benefit organization formed in 1984 by a group of concerned citizens. The Council’s membership has grown to over 150 individuals who work to provide support to the Sheriff’s Department and auxiliary units through raising additional funds to purchase equipment and training not budgeted for the Sheriffs Office. Auxiliary units supported by SAC activities include S.E.A.T., Search & Rescue, and members of the Monterey County Peace Officer’s Association.
The Council has been successful in raising these funds to provide Monterey County law enforcement with items such as night vision binoculars, a SWAT Team vehicle, a hostage negotiator throw phone, and much more. These activities have augmented the County’s law enforcement capabilities while making our communities a safer place to live.
Why SAC?
The Monterey County Sheriff’s Advisory Council enables Monterey County law enforcement with the equipment and training needed, regardless of the Sheriff Department’s budget. As a public agency, the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office has undergone continual budget cuts, making the activities of the Advisory Council increasingly important as community safety remains the highest priority despite what government funding may or may not provide.
Our Mission
SAC’s mission is to assist the Monterey County Sheriff’s Department in providing efficient, effective, and professional law enforcement to the citizens of this County. This includes raising funds to make accessible materials, equipment, and training for use by the Sheriff’s Department and other law enforcement agencies that would not otherwise be available, and assisting the Sheriff’s Department and other Monterey County law enforcement agencies in increasing public awareness of programs and policies of these agencies.
