Temple City : Sheriff’s Station Expansion
The Temple City Sheriff’s Station is slated for a $7.4-million expansion that will nearly double its size and add a heliport, Supervisor Pete Schabarum has announced.
To ease overcrowding at the 36-year-old station, where some employees work in trailers, the Board of Supervisors has approved a two-story addition plus a service building with a heliport. Noise from the helicopters will be minimal because the helipad will be used only during emergencies, Schabarum said.
The Temple City station, at 8838 E. Las Tunas Drive, serves more than 170,000 residents in Temple City, Bradbury, Duarte, Rosemead, South El Monte and some unincorporated areas of the county. Construction is scheduled to be finished by March, 1992.
