The EDSO Public Safety Facility was named after retired Sheriff John D’Agostini during a public ceremony on August 19th, for all the hard work and dedication he had to ensure the building project was completed. Additionally, residents of El Dorado County are grateful to retired Sheriff John D’Agostini for working for We The People during his time as Sheriff. The public ceremony was well attended by local residents, elected officials and the media. Speakers at the event included EID representative Brian Veerkamp (who was a Supervisor that voted in favor of the Public Safety Facility), Todd Story (donor), Supervisor Turnboo (proposed building naming), Janine D’Agostini (wife of John D’Agostini), Jeff Leikauf (current Sheriff), Lauren Hernandez (representing State Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil) and John D’Agostini (recently retired Sheriff). Special thanks to all the volunteers, donors and people who helped dedicate the EDSO Public Safety Facility to honor the career and legacy of Sheriff John D’Agostini.

Thank you Sheriff John D’Agostini.
