Sheriff Paul Miyamoto is running the Sheriff's Department well, and without scandal.

In his time in office, Sheriff Miyamoto has deployed Deputies for Operation Safe Streets to combat fentanyl dealing, and successfully navigated challenges wrought by Covid, an understaffed department, and lack of support from city leadership. Sheriff Miyamoto continues to move forward with jail reform, ramping up deputy recruitment efforts, and shutting down open-air drug markets. During COVID, Miyamoto ensured that there were zero deaths at county prisons due to the virus. He has implemented structured reforms for greater cultural competence through bilingual name tags, as well as providing free video visits and phone calls in county jails.

Sheriff Miyamoto is the incumbent, and is the first Asian American to hold the office.
