Sheriff CSA38

County Service Area 38 is a special district that provides police protection services to the unincorporated area of the County of Santa Cruz. Police protection under CSA 38 is generally provided by the County Sheriff's Department. Special districts are geographically-defined forms of local government for allocating revenue (taxes) to provide a specific service. Special districts are formed by local residents with approval from LAFCO. Special districts can be independent (with their own governing boards and/or employees) or dependent (utilizing the County's resources and Board of Supervisors). County Service Areas (CSAs) are a type of dependent special district. Special district boundaries are managed by Santa Cruz Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO)

第38号县服务区（County Service Area 38，CSA 38）是为圣克鲁斯县未合并区域提供警务保护服务的特别行政区。第38号县服务区项下的警务保护服务通常由县治安官部门提供。特别行政区是按地理边界划定的地方政府形式，用于统筹税收收入以提供特定公共服务。特别行政区由当地居民发起组建，并需经地方自治形成委员会（Local Agency Formation Commission，LAFCO）审批通过。特别行政区可分为独立型与依附型两类：独立型特别行政区拥有自身的治理委员会及/或雇员团队；依附型特别行政区则依托县府的资源与县监督委员会开展运营。县服务区（CSAs）属于依附型特别行政区的子类。特别行政区的辖区边界由圣克鲁斯地方自治形成委员会（Santa Cruz Local Agency Formation Commission，LAFCO）负责管理。
