He retired last year from the Sheriff’s Office, but continues working in law enforcement with a neighboring agency. Doug was instrumental in the development of countless SET members. In addition to his ability to mentor and lead, Doug was also one of the driving forces that helped create the SBSET Support Foundation. Had it not been for Doug’s forward-thinking, the Special Enforcement Team would not be in the position that it is today as the premier tactical team in Santa Barbara County. Doug, thank you for your service to the County of Santa Barbara, County Search and Rescue, the Special Enforcement Team, the Support, Foundation, and for all of your guidance over the years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/fedddc15-2c07-484a-9c2a-305c015fdf81/IMG_2532.JPG Newsletter - THW Vol. 3, Issue 1 - Make it stand out Andy Long was recently promoted to the rank of sergeant. Andy was a long rifleman and one of the senior members of SET. Andy rotated back to patrol, and his tactical experience was evident when his Coastal Stations patrol squad responded to a critical incident in May 2025 in Montecito. Under Andy’ s leadership, his squad was able to appropriately respond to a violent, in-progress call, and safely apprehend the suspect. Andy has been able to take his experience from SET and share it with the patrol squads at his station. This leads to more capable, better trained deputies protecting the citizens of Santa Barbara County. Keep up the great work, Andy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/38f0b77d-7d4b-4df0-abea-8f84b009deb3/IMG_0625.jpeg Newsletter - THW Vol. 3, Issue 1 - Make it stand out Deputy Dave Ashley spent over seven years assigned to SET. Dave was one of the team’s premier riflemen and rural operations specialists. His military background has served him well throughout his law enforcement career, and it paid huge dividends during his time with SET. Dave knew when to be a leader, but also when to jump in the driver’s seat of a Bearcat and drive it with pinpoint accuracy on callouts. Dave could always be counted on to take on the mentor role for new members assigned to SET. His experience, candidness, and outstanding driving skills in the Team’s Bearcats will be hard to replicate. Thank you, Dave! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/57510700-7106-417e-9c8a-d3a43023045c/IMG_6483.JPG Newsletter - THW Vol. 3, Issue 1 - Make it stand out Santa Barbara County Firefighter Paramedic Austin Muro served with the Special Enforcement Team for approximately four years. Austin was the ultimate medical professional and honed his skills during his time with SET. Austin also showed deputies several “tricks of the trade” when it came to various breaching capabilities being used in the fire service, and how they could apply in a tactical setting. Austin’s dependability and hard work will be missed, but we know he will continue to be an ambassador for bridging the gap between law enforcement and the fire service in his current firefighter-paramedic duties. Thanks for everything you gave to the Team, Austin! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/1774890974706-MVK3MQ5FN8KU0NMCSWGM/IMG_0637.jpeg Newsletter - THW Vol. 3, Issue 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/1774891005484-EMBFGWJQYH9F0HHACJUQ/IMG_0628.jpeg Newsletter -

The protestors vandalized the building, barricaded points of entry, and were unwilling to surrender to school authorities. The Special Enforcement Team was activated and tasked with clearing the building, securing any remaining trespassers, and turning the building back over to UCSB authorities. UCSB made several warning announcements to vacate Girvetz Hall, and the occupiers fled before the arrival of SET. The building was searched and then turned over to UCSB without further incident. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/8a36c7ef-6fe9-4d9c-a96b-9bff0252e931/VSFB+Joint+Training.jpg Newsletter - THW Vol. 2, Issue 2 - Make it stand out The Special Enforcement Team recently conducted a joint training day with members of Vandenberg Space Force Base Security Forces personnel.

The suspect refused to surrender. Patrol deputies evacuated family members and neighboring residences and set up containment. SET was activated to respond based on the circumstances of the call. After a four-hour standoff, a confrontation with the suspect occurred at the suspect’s backyard and resulted in a deputy-involved shooting. The suspect was shot and succumbed to his injuries. No deputies were injured.

In February, four SET members traveled to Phoenix, AZ to train vehicle-related tactics with Phoenix Police’s Special Assignments Unit (SAU). Phoenix PD SAU is a full-time SWAT team, and they are activated over 400 times per year. SAU is extremely proficient in vehicle-related tactics, and they were more than willing to share their knowledge with SET. Members were able to drill various scenarios and complete several repetitions on the tactics taught by SAU. SET is grateful for the hospitality shown by SAU and look forward to sharing the knowledge and learned skills with the remainder of SET. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/42a9e1b6-52ab-4f29-b79b-da2106acd1e9/sau.jpg Newsletter - THW Vol. 2, Issue 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/477ae40d-72cf-4f86-ac66-1988f60643f7/IMG_1675.JPG Newsletter - THW Vol. 2, Issue 1 - SET members await instructions for scenarios inside the vacated Edwards Cinema in Santa Maria.

The competition involved land navigation, long-range rifle, carbine, and pistol shooting, fieldcraft, problem-solving, physical challenges, communication, target recognition, memory, and other related tasks. Two-man teams navigated 30-60+ miles, on foot, while carrying a 50-60 lb. pack to complete the course. The course ran for 36 consecutive hours and was physically demanding. Temperatures ranged from the upper 80s during the daytime to freezing overnight. The shooting stages were very challenging with strict times, varying distances, and minimally supported shooting positions. SET members learned valuable takeaways from being able to compete in the Sniper Adventure Challenge. Lessons learned will be incorporated into a future training day so that the all of SET will benefit from the experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/1705915444108-O0357L5BP5QEL20O7CYJ/t7.png Newsletter - THW Vol. 1, Issue 4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/1705915475661-XQIOTT597OISL7S0GDN1/inv2.jpg Newsletter - THW Vol. 1, Issue 4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/1705915498705-QKV9NJ7BSR4AUNDWXDZR/inv3.jpg Newsletter - THW Vol. 1, Issue 4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/1705915851350-NGNJLO1ALS2HFLRN93JF/inv1.jpg Newsletter - THW Vol. 1, Issue 4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/1708330864411-WD5HR8RETV8MG8IDHEUO/IMG_3038.JPG Newsletter - THW Vol. 1, Issue 4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/1708330827528-U7G81KIYYJ7MD2Y9E5K3/IMG_2529.JPG Newsletter - THW Vol. 1, Issue 4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/1708330840630-UCXUM802UQLSL5FRW4GD/IMG_2920.JPG Newsletter - THW Vol. 1, Issue 4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/1708330964955-Q4VXWGUMOILMKO36QSV9/IMG_3403.JPG Newsletter - THW Vol. 1, Issue 4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbc33b780b6e80f8637cc9e/1375c13a-6dc2-4349-bbf4-9b7b52994d2b/SET1970.jpg Newsletter - THW Vol. 1, Issue 4 - Zebra Legacy Numbers In an effort to determine how many members the Special Enforcement Team has fielded since its inception, a list is starting to be compiled.
