The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) was created in 2017 and has always utilized a two prong approach of outreach and enforcement. This method has been very beneficial for both the homeless individual and the community. With every person we contact we assess their needs and work with them to get out of homelessness. However, many homeless people in our community are resistant to assistance and continue to commit crimes to sustain their lifestyle. This is where enforcement is utilized.

EDSO stays committed to total enforcement on crime and criminals, and total care for the community. EDSO has changed the name of HOT to HEAT, the Homeless Enforcement & Assistance Team. Our focus remains unchanged and outreach is still the main component of our mission. We will continue to help those wanting assistance, but we will not tolerate anyone who victimizes our community and our citizens. HEAT can be reached at 530-621-7535 or heat@eldoradosheriff.gov
