LAW ENFORCEMENT RESOURCES

Partners in Consumer Protection.

Our Security and Law Enforcement Division (SLED) was created to ensure the integrity, honesty, and fairness in the operation and administration of the Lottery and its employees and to be a champion for consumer protection at the Lottery.

In support of our mission, we employ Lottery agents to conduct criminal, civil and administrative investigations. Lottery agents are peace officers as defined in Penal Code section 830.3(p) whose primary duties shall be the enforcement of Lottery-related laws.

Our Security and Law Enforcement Division can assist local law enforcement. As a partner with your agency, our Security/Law Enforcement Division can provide our expertise to help keep Californians safe.
