Remember the Fallen Monument
It is vital to remember the sacrifices it takes to make a community safe and to remember our fallen. The nine peace officers that sacrificed everything for their community of Placer County deserve this remembrance. The ones they left behind deserve it more. A place where their names are on a memorial that our community can look upon and respect, remember, and honor those sacrifices.

Modernized EOD vehicle - The Placer County Sheriff’s Office Explosive Ordinance Detail (EOD) responds to an average of 25 call-outs per year and frequently assists neighboring agencies on EOD mutual aid requests. Currently, our EOD team cannot respond to east slope incidents during inclement weather and is the last one of its kind in the region. The EOD equipment has become more diverse and heavier, with additional equipment requiring an increasingly high payload of EOD response vehicles.
Other agencies in the region have upgraded their vehicle, chassis, and equipment box.

Plate Carriers and Rifle Rated Armor - Truth 855 – Angel Armor - Two piece ceramic rifle plates will be used by the Field Operations Deputies and Sergeants when responding to high risk events across the County. The modular Plate System has dual strike faces, is ultra-lightweight with multi-hit capability which allows wearing of the armor all day long when faced with the possibility of a threat level greater than the normal vest would protect against by simply snapping in the second piece to be up and running in seconds.
