The Administrative Services Division provides business and technical support to other divisions within the Sheriff's Office and is also "home" for the Assistant Public Administrator who is responsible for handling the estates of decedents who have no next of kin. The Fiscal Services Section is responsible for preparing and monitoring the annual budget, administering contracts, purchasing, accounts payable and payroll. The Technical Services Section is responsible for all computer operations for the Sheriff's Office, including the 911 system, a criminal records system that includes both in-field report writing and records management, a jail management system and numerous small systems for specific needs such as training records and civil processes. The Analytical Services Section conducts a wide variety of studies and in-depth reports for other divisions.

Technology at El Dorado County Sheriff's Office

Technology at the Sheriff's Office opened new frontiers during 2010. Staff is made up of 4 Systems Analysts and 1 IT Manager. Their focus has been on the front lines. One of the more notable projects included an enhanced version of Mobile CAD. This enhancement allows patrol units to assign, arrive and clear calls electronically from their in-car computer. They can also indicate if they are going code 3 which will clear the radio for vital traffic. It has been tested and will be rolled out to all patrol units in the first part of 2011.

Another project included deployment of an enhanced version of Mobile Report System. This allows deputies to view case narratives and eliminated the lengthy synchronization process between the vehicle and the office. It also allows patrol supervisors to review, approve or reject reports without returning to the office.

This year all marked units have been equipped with mobile cameras. These units automatically record from 3 camera positions and two audio tracks whenever a unit has its lights    activated or the deputy initiates recording.

Digital surveillance systems were also a big project for 2010 and will receive significant attention in the coming years.
