From Sheriff Sandra Hutchens:
On September 12th, bureau commanders and managers, both sworn and professional, were asked for assistance in producing the Mission Statement and Core Values for the Sheriff’s Department. They were requested to have their supervisors solicit suggestions from line staff on what they believed should be included in the Mission Statement and Core Values for the Department. The volume of suggestions offered was extraordinary.
The Mission Statement was based on a submission by Sheriff’s Special Officer Shawn Tangard of the John Wayne Airport Police Services division. The Core Values were selected from those consistently offered for inclusion by Sheriff’s Department personnel. The following individuals played a key role in the crafting of the final version of the Mission Statement and Core Values:
Administrative Manager Denise Litten Southeast/Southwest Operations Divisions
Sergeant Vince Bravata Tactical Training Center
Investigator Margie Sheehan Economic Crimes Bureau
Deputy Ryan Anderson West Justice Center
Deputy Theresa Bard Risk Management Bureau
Deputy Aaron Brady North Patrol Bureau
Deputy Christine Chang Lake Forest Police Services
Deputy Jeff Puckett Lake Forest Police Services
We should all be proud of the collective effort that shaped our new Mission Statement and Core Values. It is my hope that the Mission Statement and Core Values will serve as our guide and assist our residents in measuring our performance in the service of our communities.
