June 14, 2025 – San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office officials report that on June 13, 2025, the Sheriff's Office received a request from the State Office of Emergency Services to provide mutual aid to the city of Los Angeles in response to ongoing civil unrest.

The Sheriff's Office has sent a contingent of 23 Deputies including members of our Mutual Aid and Public Safety (MAPS) Team. MAPS is a mobile field team which is the primary responder to mutual aid callouts ranging from natural disasters to civil disturbances. They will remain deployed as needed until further notice.

These Deputies will be deployed only for public safety and protecting government properties. They will not be used for immigration enforcement as California state law prohibits local law enforcement from assisting ICE.

Additionally, four officers of the Arroyo Grande Police Department and two officers and a commander from the Grover Beach Police Department are being deployed to Los Angeles.

It is our hope that peace and calm is restored to Los Angeles, and our local law enforcement members are able to safely return to their homes.
