The Sheriff relies on this as part of the input to adjust his efforts in serving the County. It also serves as a conduit between the department and citizens, bringing community concerns to the Sheriff's attention and helping to work towards solutions.
As always, Sheriff Baca expressed great interest in receiving input from the members of the Advisory Council. A lively discussion ensued with interaction between Sheriff Baca and the Advisory Council Members regarding various topics of mutual interest.

He anticipates that these services will be better utilized by the community members as a result of the educational efforts of the Advisory Council.
Members of the Advisory Council thanked Sheriff Baca for his support of Pakistan and the Pakistani-American community.
