Over the years, the sheriff's office's marked vehicles have sported unusual paint schemes. Originally in a traditional black and white , they transitioned to a pink-salmon color in the 1960s. From 1971 to 1991 the vehicles were painted kelly green-and-white which were the campaign colors of Sheriff John F. Duffy. When he retired the fleet was returned to the black-and-white color scheme and has remained so ever since. The department has also had a few all-white cars over the years, but these were for Traffic Enforcement and Volunteer Patrols only.
Today, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department utilizes the Ford Explorer as their base model for their fleet.
The SDSD also operates the Following Aircraft:
Hughes 500 , Bell 205 , and Bell 407 .
