Message from Jim Hart, Santa Cruz County Sheriff
2014 was a year of significant achievements that were built on the strong foundation created by outgoing Sheriff-Coroner Phil Wowak.

I pledge to continue to be engaged, involved, and available to our personnel, the community, and to other local law enforcement agencies, and to make effective decisions based on good public safety policy.
