San Diego county
sheriff’s Department
I’m currently employed with the san diego county sheriff’s department as the head of the video production unit. the sheriff’s department is unique from other agencies in just the amount of job opportunities and diversity the organization encompasses. in just the year that i’ve been here, i’ve filmed within the confines of a patrol car on city streets, behind the scenes of undercover operations, all the way to the skies overhead with their astrea helicopter units. it’s been an eye-opening experience to view and film the county from such a RARE perspective.
