Organizational Description

DSAL’s mission is to implement the Community Capitals Policing model, which builds on existing community capitals (natural, human, social, economic, built, political and cultural) to create safer, healthier, more vibrant communities with authentic opportunities for all.

DSAL, a standalone 501(c)(3) nonprofit, works within the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office Youth & Family Services Bureau, alongside sworn Sheriff’s Office personnel and behavioral health clinicians to accomplish this mission.

DSAL recreation programs offer free soccer, futsal, boxing, fitness, dance, wrestling, summer camp, golf camp and other activities for low-income community members and provide opportunities for sheriff's deputies to interact positively with members of the community. Our recreation programs include the Sheriffs Fútbol Club, the DSAL Boxing Academy, Muevete, Corica Park Greenway Golf Camp and the DSAL 49ers PREP Flag Football League.

DSAL community development programs endeavor to provide support for community groups, empower residents to engage in the political process, engage in creative placemaking, and make their neighborhoods more vibrant, healthy places to live, work and play.

Dig Deep Farms is a DSAL social enterprise with a dual mission of providing access to healthy food and creating job experience and employment opportunities to populations that have historically been denied access to both.
