El Dorado County Sheriff's lieutenant moves to the District Attorney's Office

A former El Dorado County Sheriff's lieutenant is now the chief investigator for the District Attorney's office. Jeff Dreher was sworn in during a ceremony on Friday.

El Dorado County Sheriff John D’Agostini, who was present for the swearing in ceremony said, "Although this is a loss for the Sheriff's Office it is a significant gain for the DA's office and all of law enforcement throughout El Dorado County."

"I am extremely excited to welcome Chief Dreher to our team. His strong ties to the community and to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office help continue the longstanding partnership between our agencies," said District Attorney Vern Pierson.

Dreher has 23 years of law enforcement experience, all of which has been with the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.  He comes to our agency with 12 years of 
experience as a Supervisor and Administrator.  Over the past four years he has held the position of Lieutenant of the Investigations/Narcotics unit. As part of his duties he has served as the commander of the S.W.A.T. team.

“I have loved being a part of the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office and will truly miss working with such a great group of dedicated public servants," said Dreher. "I am looking forward to coming to the District Attorney's Office and continuing to work with the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office and the rest of our law enforcement partners to carry on the fight to keep El Dorado County safe."
