Vision
Trusted Leaders in the Community
The Protective Services Branch (PSB) generally provides specialized law enforcement services to individuals within the Developmental Services Community. Regardless of this, it is our aim to be trusted law enforcement professionals, wherever we can best serve the citizens of California. In order to accomplish this vision, we are dedicated to ever improving our knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as broadening our opportunities to serve.
Mission
Revolutionizing Protective Services by supporting a therapeutic environment that preserves safety and enhances quality of life for individuals in the Developmental Services Community.
The Protective Services Branch has devoted ourselves to revolutionizing Protective Services through building strong relationships with various Stakeholders and Experts within the Developmental Services Community. It is our belief that we all will benefit from our shared experiences. As Law Enforcement professionals, the PSB has the responsibility to teach the realities about protecting the most vulnerable individuals in our communities. By cross-sharing ideas, we will be able to better collaborate with experts, in order to improve the safety of individuals with Developmental Disabilities.
Values
Transparency – Integrity – Expertise
In choosing the Values we wished to embody, the Strategic Planning Committee opted for a simpler approach. The values we chose, Transparency, Integrity, Expertise, embody many of the value-options we considered. One side-benefit of our selection is that the words spell-out “T.I.E.”, making it easy for everyone to remember our departmental values. “Remember to Wear your T.I.E.”
Strategic Plan
2026 – 2027
PSB’ success is incumbent upon each employee familiarizing themselves with the new 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, as it sets the foundation for what each of us must contribute to make PSB succeed in revolutionizing its future. We want to encourage each member of the PSB to consider the improvements your co-workers created to help guide us successfully into the future of Client Care and Protection.
