Current Issue - Deputy Sheriffs' Association of San Diego County

2012 in Review
While 2012 saw many changes in the command staff
of the department, the DSA and its members had
a much quieter year. All three incumbents David
DiCarlo, Dustin Lopez, and Hank Turner were re-elected to
the board and the elected officers remained the same. Trying to
focus on the members, the board of directors worked to bring
about a range of events and
opportunities.
Once again, the annual dinner dance broke attendance records
with a lively St. Patrick’s Day event. With so many deputies and
their dates dressed in green, there was definitely a stroke of luck
in the air that night. Although high winds loomed outside, the
tent allowed dancers to stay on the floor late into the night.
Being an election year, much
of the focus stayed on the
primary and general elections.
As usual, the DSA endorsed
several candidates, who they
believe have the best interest
of members in mind. More
importantly, the DSA teamed
up with law enforcement
associations across the state to
fight legislation attacking our
pensions and benefits. Despite
efforts, a pension reform bill
was passed just as the session
ended.
