Divisions – Special Services

DIVISIONS

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office is comprised of four primary divisions.

Assistant Sheriff Gary Pentis will oversee Detention Services and Special Services while Assistant Sheriff Steve DeCesari will oversee Patrol Services and Support Services.

Our Patrol Division services the County of Ventura and the five contract cities of Camarillo, Fillmore, Moorpark, Ojai, and Thousand Oaks, as well as the unincorporated areas of Ventura County.

Within Patrol are also our Mounted Unit, K-9 Unit, Sheriff’s Communications Center and the Office of Emergency Services.

The Detention Division is the largest of the four divisions in both personnel and budget.
