Message from Lt. Jeff Ford 

The town of Pine Valley is a beautiful rural community where residents and visitors can enjoy the fresh air while partaking in activities such as hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing and relaxation. The Pine Valley Sheriff's Substation is responsible for serving an area of over 400 square miles which also includes the communities of Guatay, Descanso and Mount Laguna.

The Boulevard Office is a satellite office of the Pine Valley Substation. This office serves the communities of Boulevard and Jacumba - an area which includes a population of more than 2,000. These rural communities are located in Eastern San Diego along the U.S.-Mexico border.

In addition to patrol beat deputies, the Pine Valley Substation also maintains a Senior Resource Officer in collaboration with the Mountain Empire Unified School District.

The Senior Volunteer Patrol is also a large part of the community. They provide many services, including: vacation checks, YANA (You Are Not Alone) checks, residential security surveys, and community patrol efforts. The Volunteers undergo a background check, receive training to perform their duties, and are asked to work a minimum of six hours per week. Volunteers are always needed. If you’re interested in becoming a senior volunteer at the Pine Valley Substation, contact Deputy Eli Curran at (619) 938-8400.
