KHTS Previews New High-Tech SCV Sheriff’s Station
Construction is well underway on the new Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station in Canyon Country, with officials excited to move into the “state-of-the-art” facility after occupying their old space for nearly half a century.

Despite being months away from completion, a significant amount of progress has been made on the new Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, located just south of the intersection of Golden Valley Road and Centre Pointe Parkway.
Back in December, Santa Clarita Mayor Bill Miranda sat down with KHTS to discuss what to expect in 2021, including the new station, which he said will give law enforcement better resources to serve a growing community.
“We have an antiquated Sheriff’s station that was built in 1969 for a population of 80,000 that now has to serve a population of almost 300,000 in the valley,” Miranda said at the time.
Miranda went on to say that the resources being made available at the new station will help deputies operate more “effectively and more efficiently.”
“By more efficiently, I’m talking about serving the public better, but also serving it at a cost that’s more reasonable than maybe what we’re having to pay now per deputy,” he said.
