SHERIFF'S ADVISORY BOARD of SANTA CLARA COUNTY (S.A.B.) - was formed in 1980 as a non-profit volunteer organization for the purpose of supporting local law enforcement. Since public safety agencies must compete for scarce tax dollars with other public entities in government, funding is not always available no matter how necessary or worthy a particular request might be. It is on these occasions that the Advisory Board renders vital assistance.

Some of the equipment and projects funded by this group have benefited the D.A.R.E Program which provides drug education and resistance training to elementary age school children. Today many of the police dogs trained to aid in routine patrol operations were purchased with money donated by the S.A.B. Many high tech items utilized by the Sheriff's swat team were purchased by the S.A.B. and they have supplemented some of the funding utilized in the Sheriff's Range Facility as well.

In the 20 years since S.A.B. was formed, over $250,000 dollars has been contributed to provide a safer working environment for the men and women of the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office.

The Advisory Board is continually looking for new members who are willing to get involved in numerous projects. Membership information can be obtained by writing to the S.A.B. at P.O. Box 28037, San Jose CA 95159-8037 or calling (408) 808-4900, Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 p.m.

There are approximately 150 business and community leaders who are members of the Advisory Board. Quarterly, the board of directors meet to discuss needs of the local peace officer community. The current
