The Grand Jury recommends that the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office delegate deputies to accompany County Health inspectors so that the inspectors, with the support of law enforcement, can safely enforce permitting and inspecting in the unincorporated areas of Santa Barbara County and in incorporated areas where the Sheriff's Office is contracted to provide services. Sheriff's Office Response: Has been implemented The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office, as a partner in the Roadside/Street Vending Task Force, currently provides law enforcement support at pre-planned permitting/inspecting operations in the unincorporated areas of Santa Barbara County and in the Cities of Carpinteria, Goleta, Solvang, and Buellton, all of which contract with the Sheriff's Office for law enforcement services. Task force members request sheriff assistance and provide a time and location of the permitting/inspecting operation. The Sheriff's Office dedicates deputies for security and scene safety. The on-duty area supervisor is also made aware of the request and can provide additional assistance as needed.
