Deputy Dhami has worked in law enforcement in the Central Valley for seven years. He started his career as a reserve police officer with the Modesto Police Department and eventually became a full-time police officer with MPD. Before coming to the Merced County Sheriff's Office, he worked at the Livingston Police Department for four years. In 2022, Deputy Dhami joined our team as a full-time Deputy. He was raised in Merced County and was a prior Sheriff's Explorer for seven years. Deputy Dhami enjoys helping and serving our community. When he is off duty he enjoys working out, racing cars, playing with his pets, and playing video games.

K-9 Bingo is a one-and-a-half-year-old black and tan, Bloodhound. She is one of the newest K-9s to join our K-9 Unit. Her job is to help locate wanted, lost, or missing people. She trains weekly to help keep her skills sharp. When she is not at work, she enjoys running around her yard, playing with her brother and sister, and playing with Deputy Dhami. Bingo has a lot of energy, and she loves to work!
