The mission of the Office of Inspector General is to promote a culture of integrity, accountability, and transparency throughout the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department in order to safeguard and preserve the public trust.

The Inspector General independently monitors defined areas of interest, analyzing trends and recommending ways to strengthen and improve law enforcement services and the citizen complaint and investigations process. As a proactive approach to preventing professional conflicts or misconduct, open-door guidance to members of the Department, through the Office of Inspector General, is encouraged.
