Deputy Sheriffs' Association
of San Diego County
The “Strength behind the Badge” is the slogan chosen by the men and
women of the Deputy Sheriffs' Association of San Diego County to
symbolize its purpose and meaning. Those five simple words echo the hard
work, dedication, and teamwork of countless deputy sheriffs from all ranks
who built the DSA brick by brick into the respected political, labor and
community leader it is today.
Since its formation in 1954 as the Sheriff’s Relief Association, many
thousands of names have passed through its membership roster and those
people laid a rock-solid foundation for the professionalism,
camaraderie, and relief of the sworn members of the San Diego County
Sheriff’s Department. What makes the nearly 3,000 members of the DSA
unique is from the Sheriff to a first day rookie deputy to
concerned community members, each represents a collective interest in
the well-being of the law enforcement profession and the people they
serve.
The membership of the DSA has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars
from their paychecks into our communities and youth programs because
they know, perhaps better than anyone, the importance of foundation.
