The Los Santos County Sheriff's Department — "A Tradition of Service"

[Scumpy]

 

Under the "totality‑of‑the‑circumstances" test of Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213 (1983), probable cause exists where there is a fair probability that evidence of a crime will be found in a particular place. Affidavits must be interpreted in a "commonsense" manner that recognizes the training and experience of law‑enforcement affiants. United States v. Ventresca, 380 U.S. 102 (1965). As the affidavit below demonstrates, the convergence of independently corroborated surveillance observations, CSLI data, undercover recordings, and victim‑witness statements establishes far more than a "fair probability" that evidence of the enumerated offenses will be found at the Target Locations.

Courts routinely uphold search warrants for the residences of suspected gang members where surveillance shows the member commuting between crime scenes and the residence. See, e.g., People v. Camarella (1991) 54 San.An.3d 592. CSLI and physical tailing place each SUBJECT at his respective residence within two hours of the Havana Club assault. Given the short temporal proximity and the inherent mobility of firearms, there is a fair probability evidence will be stored at these homes.

SHERIFF WESTBORO PROMOTES COMMANDER GEISBAUER TO DIVISION CHIEF, NOW SERVING AS HIS CHIEF OF STAFF

 

 

 

Sheriff Westboro announced the appointment of Robert E. Geisbauer to the rank of Division Chief of the Los Santos County Sheriff’s Department, effective June 2025. Chief Geisbauer, a 30-year veteran of the Department, now leads the Office of the Sheriff, where he is responsible for executive-level coordination of departmental initiatives, strategic planning, and oversight of special projects, in addition to providing direct and ongoing support to the Sheriff.

 

“Chief Geisbauer is a trusted, principled leader whose decades of service and dedication to this Department speak for themselves,” said Sheriff Westboro. “His vision, commitment to integrity, and relentless drive for excellence make him the ideal choice to help lead our agency forward as we continue to serve the people of Los Santos County with transparency, accountability, and professionalism.”

 

Chief Geisbauer’s career in law enforcement began more than 30 years ago with the Los Santos County Sheriff’s Department. He has served in multiple assignments, including Patrol Operations, the Professional Standards Division, and the Administrative Services Division.

 

As Captain, Geisbauer led the Internal Affairs Bureau, where he directed sensitive administrative and criminal investigations and oversaw the Department’s legal arm, the Advocacy Unit. He also served as Coordinator for the Basic Sergeant Supervisory School, modernizing the leadership curriculum and introducing new evaluation models to enhance readiness among first-line supervisors.

 

Promoted to Commander in May 2025, Geisbauer assumed oversight of both the Administrative Services Division and the Professional Standards Division, where he led efforts in departmental training, policy compliance, and ethics oversight. He played a key role in aligning internal accountability with countywide governance and performance standards.

Appointed Division Chief the following month, Geisbauer now leads high-level operational planning and the implementation of strategic initiatives in close coordination with the Sheriff. His efforts help ensure the Department remains focused on its mission to protect and serve the community while fostering professional excellence across all levels of the organization.

Throughout his career, Chief Geisbauer has emphasized professional ethics, leadership development, and organizational accountability. He holds a Master’s Degree in Public Administration and Organizational Leadership, is a graduate of POST Command College Class 52, and maintains several advanced law enforcement certifications.

 

A devoted husband and father of two, Geisbauer is also a strong advocate for professional development and a frequent contributor to public safety leadership forums and training programs across the state.

 

“Robert represents the best of this Department—honor, service, and a steadfast commitment to public safety,” Sheriff Westboro added. “I look forward to working alongside him as we continue to build a safer, stronger Los Santos County.”
