Three-term Sheriff-Coroner Darren Thompson has seen great changes in San Benito Count's crime over his career. “Twenty years ago, our largest public safety concern was gang-related crimes. Voters and legislators in California implemented some very tough prison sentences for gang crimes and were able to address some of the circumstances that discouraged witnesses from participating in the criminal justice process. Collectively, these two dynamics resulted in a reduction of gang crimes. Conversely, it created overcrowding in our state prisons,” Thompson explained in a 2018 interview with SanBenito.com.
On April 13, Thompson tendered his resignation at a meeting of the San County Board of Supervisors. According to a report by BenitoLink.com, the sheriff will retire on June 25.
