San Diego County Honorary
Deputy Sheriffs' Association
The goal of the San Diego County Honorary Deputy Sheriffs’ Association
(HDSA), founded in 1974 by former Sheriff John F. Duffy, is to assist
the Sheriff of San Diego County with the duties and
responsibilities of his office, as well as promote all law enforcement
activities in San Diego County.
The HDSA continues to focus on providing the much-needed funds for
education, training and equipment for all our law enforcement agencies
in the County. In the thirty-four years the HDSA has been serving
the San Diego County law enforcement community, it has contributed more
than $4.8 million through projects and donations.
The HDSA is comprised of approximately 720 local business and community
leaders, committed to supporting law enforcement throughout the county.
Through the generous donations of time and money from our members, the
HDSA is uniquely positioned to offer assistance to local law enforcement
agencies, enabling them to carry out their missions safely and
efficiently.
The 2008 Board of Directors was able to make significant strides toward
its goal of supporting local law enforcement and collectively raised or
contributed more than $287,000 to the law enforcement community:
- $37,000 – for education tuition for Sheriff’s personnel
- $130,000 – for 100 new Motorola Radios for Search and Rescue
- $40,000 – for repairs and maintenance for the Miramar Tactical Training
Facility, also known as Duffy Town
- $80,000 – raised to support the Sheriff’s Museum and Educational Center
Additionally, the HDSA owns and operates the Sheriff’s Museum in Old
Town, which educates and provides a historical perspective of local law
enforcement to the thousands of children and citizens who visit each
year.
The HDSA is the premier law enforcement support organization in the
country, and we are proud to be considered partners with our Sheriff’s
Department. We are looking forward to another successful year in 2009,
as we continue to look for opportunities to serve and support their
mission.
