Kings County Sheriff David Robinson was born and raised in Hanford, where his family has lived since the 1930’s. On January 3, 2011, he was sworn into office as the fifteenth Sheriff of Kings County.  He took the post with over 15 years of law enforcement experience and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice Management. 

Dave began his career in February 1995 as a Detentions Deputy in the Kings County Jail, then moved into patrol both out of Hanford and then the Avenal Substation. He was later assigned to the multi-agency Kings County Gang Task Force and for five years split his time between the Task Force as an investigator and as a detective with the Sheriff’s Office. In 2003, Robinson promoted to Sergeant and went back to patrol as a shift supervisor.

In 2004, the opportunity arose to return to the Gang Task Force as the supervisor of the unit. During his career with the Sheriff’s office, Dave also served on the Sheriff’s Honor Guard, the S.W.A.T. Team (as a team member, assistant team leader and team leader), Field Training Program Manager, and on a Record Management System Committee.

Prior to his election as Sheriff, Dave Robinson served over two years in the District Attorney’s office as an Investigator.  He has been married for eighteen years to his wife Stephanie, a teacher for twelve years at St. Rose McCarthy Catholic School. They have two children ages17 and 14.
