On January 1, 1997, Sheriff Danny C. Dominguez was sworn into office, becoming Presidio County's 16th Sheriff. Sheriff Dominguez has served the citizens of Presidio County for the past 23 years, since his appointment as a deputy in 1991. Presidio County Sheriff's Office is responsible for 3,856 square miles of land as well as 108 miles of border wi... th Mexico. Sheriff Dominguez has therefore expanded the man power and protection of citizens by having more deputies available to assist. He has been able to accomplish this task by joining and participating in multiple coalitions and associations, putting Presidio County on the map to qualify for grant assistance. Sheriff Dominguez has also partnered with other agencies forming a Border Operations Security Task Force, which facilitates communication between agencies such as the U.S. Border Patrol and Homeland Security Investigations, as well as other local law enforcement entities. Sheriff Dominguez believes communication between entities eliminates duplication of efforts and allows more coverage with limited resources.
