Rancho San Diego Sheriff’s Station Due to Open by Year’s End

Construction continues on the long-awaited Rancho San Diego Sheriff’s Station on Campo Road, and the department expects it to open by the end of the year.

When completed, around 100 employees currently working at the Lemon Grove Station will move to the new building. The Rancho San Diego station will serve Mount Helix, Spring Valley, Casa de Oro, Rancho San Diego, La Presa, Jamul and unincorporated areas of La Mesa and El Cajon.

Construction is in full swing on the $17.5 million law enforcement facility, which will serve as the hub of operations for deputies patrolling those areas. The new station is estimated at 27,000 square feet.

The building will incorporate sustainable features, including recycled building materials, energy efficient mechanical systems and low-water landscaping, with drought tolerant and indigenous plants.

The Lemon Grove Sheriff’s Station will remain open with a smaller staff.
