🏆 Congratulations to Sheriff’s Lieutenant Christopher Gotschall and Sheriff’s Sergeant Sandy Frausto on being honored tonight with the prestigious H. Thomas Guerry Awards for Superior Performance by the Santa Barbara Citizens’ Council on Crime. 👏
Lt. Gotschall was recognized for his exceptional leadership and lasting impact on recruitment, retention, and organizational development within the Sheriff’s Office Human Resources Bureau. His efforts helped modernize hiring processes during some of the agency’s most challenging staffing years. His distinguished career also includes multiple commendations for bravery and service, including two Sheriff’s Medals of Valor and the California State Peace Officers Medal of Valor. 🇺🇸
Sgt. Frausto was honored for his life-saving actions during a missing person investigation in the Santa Ynez Valley. Using his personal knowledge of the missing individual and the surrounding remote terrain, Sgt. Frausto located the man in critical condition after an apparent overdose. His quick thinking, decisive action, and coordination of emergency response efforts were instrumental in saving the man’s life. 🚔❤️
We are proud of both honorees and grateful for their dedication, professionalism, and service to our community. ⭐️ ...

This week, we proudly recognize National Correctional Officers Week and honor the dedicated men and women who serve in our custody facilities with professionalism, compassion, patience, courage, and unwavering commitment. This week, members of our custody team were recognized by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors with a Resolution commemorating the week, and with a BBQ lunch celebration in appreciation of their service. 👏
As Sheriff Bill Brown shared in his message to personnel, corrections is a difficult profession that often requires staff to manage challenging and unpredictable situations with self-discipline and professionalism, while also helping provide incarcerated individuals the opportunity to change their lives for the better. He also recognized the many professionals who support our jail operations, including counselors, records and administrative staff, cooks, utility workers, and medical and mental health providers.
Thank you to all of our custody professionals for the remarkable care and service you provide to our community every day. 💙
