One year ago today, Deputy Andrew Nunez made the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting our community. Not a day goes by that we don’t remember his courage, dedication, and the sacrifice he made. My heart and prayers remain with Andrew’s family, friends, and fellow deputies as we continue to honor his life, his service, and the legacy he leaves behind. When you’re later, our promise remains the same. We will never forget. @RanchoPD

Great work!
On October 10 and 11, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department’s Work Release Program (WRP) conducted a community cleanup along Summit Valley Road in Hesperia. Participants removed two 40-yard dumpsters worth of trash and 30 abandoned vehicle tires, helping improve the community while fulfilling court-ordered service. The Work Release Program provides an alternative to incarceration, allowing participants to give back to their communities while maintaining employment, continuing their education, and supporting their families. This successful cleanup highlights the department’s continued commitment to community partnerships and service.

Congratulations!
Thank you to CNOA Region 5 for recognizing members of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department at last night’s awards banquet! Congratulations to Sergeant Shaun Wallen and Detectives Jonathan Franco, Michael Battisti, and Nicholas Collas on receiving this well-deserved recognition. I am incredibly proud of the hard work, dedication, and determination these men and women demonstrate every day. Their tireless efforts to combat drug trafficking, remove dangerous criminals from our streets, and protect our communities do not go unnoticed. Congratulations to all of the award recipients, and thank you for your continued commitment to keeping San Bernardino County safe! @sbcountysheriff @SBCSDtnewport @calnarcs
