Lee Dean, doing business as T.E. Consulting (October 1, 2007 - 2013)

Mr. Dean was selected as the County's first Inspector General. The Inspector General position was created following a public hearing in November 2005 held at the request of then-Sheriff Lou Blanas. The hearing included public testimony requesting outside oversight of the Sheriff’s Department, specifically jail operations. Subsequently, Sheriff Blanas and the Board of Supervisors agreed that some type of independent oversight of the Sheriff’s Department would be beneficial. A one-person “Inspector-General” model was selected, subject to negotiations with the Sacramento County Deputy Sheriff’s Association (SCDSA) and the Law Enforcement Managers Association (LEMA). In 2006, language was added to the SCDSA MOU specifying that the Inspector General would be a single contract position recommended by the Sheriff and the Chair of the Board of Supervisors, with the concurrence of the SCDSA and LEMA.
