The Saratoga City Council decided on October 7 to contract law enforcement services with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office for the next five years. Although the city considered partnering with the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department, the council determined that maintaining the existing partnership provides the level of service and continuity the community values, despite the higher cost of services from the county sheriff.
