You Protect San Francisco — But Who Protects You?
As a deputy with the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department, you face:
✅ High-pressure custody and transport duties
✅ Violent incidents and confrontations
✅ Long hours, court demands, and constant vigilance
✅ Emotional exposure to trauma, suffering, and systemic stress
You’re trained to handle anything — but when you start feeling:
Irritable, anxious, or angry
Emotionally numb or disconnected
Burned out and exhausted
Struggling to relax or sleep
It’s a sign you need support — and you can get it without risking your job or record.
