How much do you know about law enforcement in Del Mar?

Del Mar does not have a police department. The city contracts with the county Sheriff’s Department for law enforcement, including patrol of the streets, crime prevention services, and a wide array of other law enforcement services. Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas and the unincorporated areas of Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch are served by the North Coastal Station.

Taft has commanded the North Coastal Station for two years and in that time the community has seen a lot of change. Taft will discuss the role of the Sheriff’s Department in Del Mar, his goals and performance metrics, how COVID has affected policing in Del Mar and unique problems resulting from the pandemic, and then he will answer your submitted questions.

Note: If you live in 92014 but outside the City of Del Mar, your law enforcement is provided by the San Diego Police Department. Your attendance is welcome. However, questions to the SDPD will not be addressed during this event.
