Training Deputies for specialized investigative positions, such as Ag Crimes and Cyber Sex Crimes

By Steve Bernal

Candidate for Sheriff/Coroner; County of Monterey

This information is provided by the candidate
By training our Deputies in specialized fields, we can keep career criminals off the streets, and prevent crimes from occurring through proactive policing.
An increasing number of crimes in Monterey County are committed by career criminals; repeat offenders who have violated parole, or simply have committed another crime. These criminals cycle in and out of our county jail, and are often released due to a lack of evidence against them. This is unacceptable.

Under my 10 year plan, an outline of which can be found at my website http://www.BernalforSheriff.com, I will train more Deputies to work on specialized investigative units. This will allow the Sheriff's Office to build cases against career criminals, keeping them behind bars. It will also make our Deputies more effective at identifying patterns in crime. For example, specific crimes such as agriculture crimes or cyber sex crimes require more training to identify and suppress. By creating specialized units to investigate such criminal activities, our Deputies will receive the training necessary to apprehend criminals and prevent crimes from occurring. By training our Deputies in specialized investigative fields, I will ensure they are well equipped to protect Monterey County.
