Lt. John Munsey, 45, will become the new Coastside Sheriff Lieutenant starting Jan 13, 2014, as part of a policy of routine transfers to support staff career development. 

Munsey spent his childhood on the Coastside, has a master’s degree in public administration, and has been with the Sheriff Dept since 1994. His most recent position was as commander of the county’s Narcotics and Vehicle Theft task forces.  

Munsey said he looks forward to meeting with local stakeholders, finding out their needs, and working daily with the community.
