On October 27, 2006 Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy Jeff Mitchell was murdered while on duty. Jeff served nine years with the department and was known as an outstanding, dedicated officer. He left behind a wife and 6 year old son. Since 1850 the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department has lost 16 officers killed in the line of duty. In order to honor his sacrifice and the sacrifices of all our public service heroes, family, friends and a caring community would like to create a memorial to Jeff and others who put their life on the line everyday for our protection and the protection of our communities.

Since Jeff had a passion for baseball and kids, it was suggested that a baseball field would be a fitting memorial of his ultimate sacrifice for others and inspire our youth with positive role models. Plans are now underway for the Deputy Jeff Mitchell Field which will not only honor Jeff, but will honor all our local public service heroes. The existing sports field at Bertelsen Park in El Dorado Hills will be renovated to a state of the art tournament play Little League field. This park was chosen because it was close to Jeff’s home in El Dorado Hills.

Honor our local public service departments by donating to the Deputy Jeff Mitchell Field. Your donation will help memorialize the sacrifices of Jeff and others who have chosen a life protecting and serving their communities.
