 The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff understands
Marines are a special breed; distinct not only from ordinary US citizens
but from the ranks of the Army, Navy, and Air Force as well. As you know,
the difference begins with boot camp, where the history and the future of
the United States Marine Corps intersect in the training of every new
recruit. Making the Corps begins with 13 grueling weeks of boot camp, as
you are introduced into the culture of the "Few and the Proud".
No matter how you arrive, you leave as Marines.
The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office is deeply
committed to the specific needs of Marines, who are considering a career
in Law Enforcement. Why? Because, the Office of the Sheriff, Contra Costa
County's "Core Values" have been drafted, in part to
understanding the Marine Corps traditions.
USMC philosophy radiates from Sheriff Warren Rupf, former
Marine, down through our chain of command. Our Sheriff's Office is filled
with very special people, many of whom are former and active reserve
Marines, who utilize their Marine Corps experience on a daily basis.
Lt. Dan Sullivan
 Lt. Sullivan, a former Marine, is the Sheriff's Department
Academy Coordinator. He joined the Marines in 1966 and served valiantly
through two tours in Vietnam. In 1990, Lt. Sullivan retired as Sgt. Major
with two Bronze Stars and the Meritorious Service Medal. Lt. Sullivan
states, "Integrity, discipline, work ethic and pride have carried
forward with me into law enforcement. The Contra Costa Sheriff understands
these Marine Corps ethics and respects them."
Independent surveys have proven that former and active
reserve Marines have enjoyed the opportunities the Contra Costa County
Office of the Sheriff has afforded them in their career.
Deputy Mark Kohlmaier
An active reserve Marine Major, he entered Officer
Candidate School, completed Basic School and the Infantry Officers course
in 1989. Deputy Kohlmaier's first assignment was 1st Battalion, 9th
Charlie Company, Platoon Commander in 1991, later his billet changed to XO
