On Monday, June 3, San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office will open its new state-of-the-art headquarters in downtown Redwood City to the community, according to a May 29 press release. The five-story facility located at 330 Bradford Street is built on the former site of the Old Maguire Jail.
The $50 million headquarters is stationed across the street from the Hall of Justice, which housed the Sheriff’s Office for more than 60 years. Signage at the Hall of Justice will notify visitors of its move.
The headquarters will house numerous bureaus, including the Corrections Administrative Classification Unit, Civil Bureau, Investigations Bureau, Fiscal Bureau, Records Bureau, Property and Evidence Bureau, Technical Services Bureau, and more.
An executive conference room has been dedicated in memory of Don Horsely, the late San Mateo County supervisor and sheriff who died in November 2023.
“As our profession and mission evolve, it’s important that our facilities do as well. Serving as the heart of our community-facing services, this modernized facility brings our major public facing bureaus under one roof, offers amenities that prioritize the well-being of our employees, and much more,” said San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus in a statement. “We welcome San Mateo County to our new headquarters, and we look forward to serving the community from this location for the next 60 years and beyond.”
The Sheriff’s Office was responsible for half the facility costs. The remaining expnses were funded and supported by The Arrillaga Foundation and the late John Arrillaga Sr., after whom the building was named.
Plans for a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be announced at a later date.
