Rail Road Flat, CA…On February 6, 2024, the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office opened its newest substation in the community of Rail Road Flat. The office space is located on the former Rail Road Flat Elementary School grounds. The new location was facilitated by Calaveras County Supervisor Jack Garamendi, Sheriff DiBasilio, and the Blue Mountain Community Renewal Council.

The new Substation will allow the Sheriff’s Office to expand its enforcement presence and efforts to better serve the community. It will be staffed by sheriff volunteers and will give deputies a place to write reports and complete other paperwork rather than returning to the main office in San Andreas. This will help with fuel costs and reduce the response times to calls for service. It will be staffed with members from the Calaveras County Volunteer unit several days a week (times TBD).

The Mark Twain Health Care District concluded the grand opening with a donation of their seventh automated external defibrillator to the Sheriff’s Office. The newly donated AED will remain in the substation to enhance services available to the community.
