Los Santos County Sheriff's Department "A TRADITION OF SERVICE" Monthly Press Release July 3rd, 2025 |
- I can’t believe we’re already here with another monthly newsletter—where did the month go?
As most of you know, June is Pride Month, and our department showed its support in a number of fun and meaningful ways. From rolling out specially painted cruisers in vibrant Pride colors, to encouraging deputies to wear our Pride patches, to helping host the Pride Parade, we were proud to stand alongside the LGBTQ+ community in celebration and solidarity.
I’m truly honored to be part of such a welcoming, inclusive, and forward thinking department. And while Pride Month may be ending, our support doesn’t stop here, our Pride uniforms and patches are available to deputies year round, 365 days a year.
Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy this month’s newsletter!

- As we wrap up the month of June, I want to extend my thanks to everyone in our department and community for making this month meaningful. June is Pride Month, a time to honor and support the values of diversity, inclusion, and unity. This year’s Pride Event, hosted in partnership with the Los Santos Police Department and our own Los Santos County Sheriff’s Department, was a tremendous success. I want to thank every agency, company, and individual who played a role in making it happen. Your dedication helped create an event that was safe, welcoming, and full of pride for all.
Sheriff Bobby Kirk
I also want to take a moment to reflect on the service of my good friend Jon McCornish, who is stepping down from his position as Assistant Sheriff for Countywide Services. Jon has been a pillar in this department for many years. His leadership, professionalism, and steady presence have made a lasting difference. He has always led by example and has earned the respect of everyone who had the privilege of working with him. We thank him for his service and wish him all the best in the road ahead.
Looking forward, July promises to be an exciting and eventful month. As we head into the peak of summer, let’s stay focused, stay connected, and continue serving our community with the same commitment and pride that defines this department.
Sheriff Bobby Kirk
LSSD AND LSPD CELEBRATED PRIDE TOGETHER
- Blaine County: The Los Santos County Sheriff’s Department teamed up with our brothers and sisters in color from the Los Santos Police Department, along with other government and private organizations, to co-host a Pride Parade and show our strong support for the LGBTQ+ community.
Sandy Shores Airfield Pride Parade
- The Pride Parade kicked off at Sandy Shores Airfield, where people had the chance to join a raffle, win some amazing vehicles, and just hang out with friends. The vibe was incredible. Everyone, no matter where they came from, was having a great time and showing love for the LGBTQ+ community. The airfield was packed with rainbow-colored Coquette D10s and Pride-themed police cars, and almost every attendee arrived in vibrant custom vehicles. The designs were seriously impressive and matched the theme perfectly.
After some time enjoying the atmosphere, everyone lined up their rides, and a long, colorful convoy made its way toward the Colorful Parking area in the city. Everything went super smoothly. Drivers set their cruise control to 80 and rolled out in a peaceful, organized flow. As the lead motorcycle rider, the view of that rainbow convoy stretching behind me was absolutely unforgettable.
Arriving at the parking garage took a bit of coordination, but thanks to everyone’s teamwork, we got it done. Once everyone was parked, the Plague rooftop party kicked off. People danced, laughed, and just enjoyed the moment—free to be themselves.
The Los Santos County Sheriff’s Department is proud to have been part of such an incredible event and sends a huge thank you to everyone who came out in support of the LGBTQ+ community. Thank you!
- Truly the definition of a silent hero within the department.
Deputy Sheriff III Violet Wilson
She’s the kind of deputy who’s always paired with another unit—not for supervision, but to be that extra set of hands during a high-stress scene, or the voice on the radio calling out locations during a pursuit so the driver can stay focused.
Well, this time, the silent hero gets the recognition she deserves.
Violet Wilson has been selected as Deputy of the Month!
We reached out to her via email to learn more about what makes her stand out—and what drives her to be one of the best.
What is your favorite thing about being a deputy at the LSSD?
The friendships I’ve built in the department, combined with the adrenaline of pursuits, are what I enjoy most about the job.
What is your most memorable moment while serving as a deputy for the LSSD?
One of the most memorable moments for me in the Sheriff's Department was during Operation Kutte Throat. It was a day that came with heavy losses, but it also showed the strength and unity of law enforcement. I had never seen that many deputies and officers work together at once to take down a major threat to the city.
Was there a career setback you faced that you later realized was an advantage?
I wouldn’t really call it a setback, but spending an extended amount of time as a Deputy Sheriff II felt like a pause in my progress. Looking back, though, that time gave me the opportunity to learn and grow at my own pace. It helped me build the foundation I needed, and now that I’ve taken the step to move forward in my career, I feel more prepared for what’s ahead.
What goals do you have for your tenure within the Sheriff's Department?
My main goal is to eventually join the Sheriff’s Investigations Bureau. From there, I’d like to work my way into the Gangs and Narcotics Division. That’s the kind of work I’ve always been interested in.
What advice do you have for someone new to the department?
You don’t have to be perfect, just consistent. Show that you care, stay reliable, and over time people will notice your work speaks for itself.
Is there a quote that motivates you?
Failure only comes when you stop trying!

- For this month’s spotlight, we’re turning the lens inward—focusing on the Sheriff Information Division (SID)!
The Sheriff Information Division is the public-facing arm of the department. They’re responsible for crafting press releases, assembling newsletters like this one, and responding to public inquiries. Think of them as the department’s silent voices, always nearby with a notepad in hand, quietly gathering details for their next article or scribbling down “moments of inspiration” for future stories.
We managed to catch one of these elusive deputies sitting on the side of the road, laptop open, hard at work on the very release you’re reading now. In exchange for their time, we’re keeping their identity a secret, mostly so their supervisor doesn’t ask questions about the three-hour speed trap with no tickets issued.
Mason: Hey! It’s Mason from SID! got a moment for a few questions?
Anonymous Deputy: WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
Mason: Don’t worry about it! How long have you been a member of SID?
Anonymous Deputy: I joined as soon as I got promoted to Deputy Sheriff I. I actually started writing my application while I was still a trainee and submitted it the second I got promoted.
Mason: Wow, that’s commitment! With that kind of tenure, what contributions have you made to the division?
Anonymous Deputy: Oh boy… I’ve worked on every newsletter since December, and I’ve put out a few independent articles here and there too.
Mason: I’ve definitely seen your work, very impressive. Where do you get your inspiration?
Anonymous Deputy: Honestly? My morning shower. That’s where the magic happens. I get these “shower thoughts,” jot them down, and let them sit for 24 hours. If they still have that spark after a good night’s sleep, I run with it.
Mason: Okay… slightly TMI, but fair enough. Any fun or exciting updates coming to SID?
Anonymous Deputy: We just got some high-visibility vests labeled “PRESS” makes us look official while also making sure we don’t get run over.
And there you have it! The Sheriff Information Division is fueled by creativity, passion, and a genuine drive to keep the public informed sometimes from a roadside shoulder, laptop balanced on the center console.
Thank you for reading, and we’ll see you in the next edit
- Bryan began his career with the San Andreas Department of Corrections, where he quickly rose through the ranks. But Bryan wanted more—he wanted to get out into the county, to be proactive in stopping crime before it reached the prison gates.
Deputy Sheriff I Bryan Trey
Since joining the Sheriff’s Department, he’s proven to be highly effective in that mission. Whether it’s patrolling the streets or responding to high-priority calls, Bryan has consistently gone above and beyond.

What is your favorite thing about being a deputy at the LSSD?
One of my most favorite things would be how much everyone cares about each other. It's not just a work environment; it's like everyone is family. Looking out for and caring for each other.
What is your most memorable moment while serving as a deputy for the LSSD?
My most memorable moment may sound weird to most. But it was saving one of our ride-alongs' lives, along with a K9 dog during an active shootout. Luckily I was the only one who got injured. The dog and ride-along were safe.
Why did you become a deputy for the LSSD?
Honestly, I wanted to put a stop to the crime in the city and make the crime rates go down. I wanted to investigate and assist in stopping criminals and assist them in reforming themselves. And when I see someone in danger my body just moved On its own Before I had a chance to think
What is the greatest feeling about being a deputy?
Honestly the greatest feeling is seeing everyone's Smiles after Protecting them or Saving them. It makes me feel almost heroic.
Where do you see yourself in the LSSD two months from now?
I see myself as a Deputy Sheriff III in the training division. Showing the new deputies the way around the county and teaching them the proper etiquette of being a Deputy.
What do you like doing outside of work?
As of now I just enjoy spending my time with the few friends I have. Hopefully soon I can host parties and events at my house for them.
