Chiefs’/Sheriff’s Management Committee

The Chiefs’/Sheriff’s Management Committee promotes regional collaboration in the acquisition, maintenance, and sharing of public safety technology. This Working Group approves and implements the Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS) and Criminal Justice Research annual work program and budget. It establishes and recommends public safety policies that relate to ARJIS and Criminal Justice Research. The Chiefs’/Sheriff’s Management Committee reports to the Public Safety Committee, which in turn reports to the SANDAG Board of Directors. 

The Chiefs’/Sheriff’s Management Committee meetings are generally at 9:45 a.m. on the first Wednesday of the month.
