As a new school year begins, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office wants to remind students that they can practice their writing skills in a fun way by participating in the Deputy Pen Pal Program. The program is a great way for children to communicate with Sheriff’s deputies and to build positive relationships with law enforcement in our community.
Deputy Shae Green, who patrols the Santa Ynez Chumash Reservation and surrounding Santa Ynez Valley community, started the program in the Spring of last year and has enjoyed writing and receiving letters from children throughout Santa Barbara County. She hopes to expand the program even more this year.
If you have children that are interested in having a Deputy as their Pen Pal, please send letters to:
Deputy Pen Pal Program
Solvang Sheriff’s Substation
1745 Mission Drive
Solvang, CA 93463
Thanks to everyone who has already sent letters. We look forward to hearing from some new pen pals soon.
