Former employee Marco Garmo's criminal conduct does not reflect the values of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. His actions violated the public trust and the confidence the department placed in him.
Today's sentencing closes a chapter and emphasizes how our own employees recognized and brought forward his activities. In doing that, we were able to provide information to federal investigators who subsequently investigated, arrested and prosecuted him for his criminal acts.
We are grateful this has come to resolution. We will continue to uphold our values and commitment to maintain the public trust.
