Public Safety

The Broadmoor Police Protection District is the last operational police protection district in the state of California. A special property tax assessment funds the http://www.pd.broadmoor.ca.us/index.swf Broadmoor Police Department], which was founded in 1948 after residents grew concerned of long response times from the San Mateo County Sheriff's Department -- most of whose deputies are based in the southern end of the county. Fire protection is provided by the Colma Volunteer Fire Protection District. The Broadmoor Police Department is staffed by eight full time police officers, including the chief of police, and twenty-five part time police officers.


The Broadmoor Police Protection District is governed by a Police Commission, the Broadmoor Police Protection District Board of Police Commissioners, which consists of three residents elected at large every four years. In November 2007 one seat will be open for election, that of Commissioner J. Wayne Johnson, who as been a commissioner for thirty-two years. http://www.wayne-johnson.org. He will be challenged by Rebecca Husted, who has never held public office and who is supported by a former commissioner who once tried to close down the police department, in what may be a hotly contested election.


The District is situated in an unincorporated area in northern San Mateo County between the cities of Daly City and Colma.


In 2007 State Senator Leland Yee (California's Eighth District) authored legislation sponsored by the Broadmoor Police Department to recognize Broadmoor as a municipal or city police department. Senate Bill 230, which was signed by Governor Schwarzenegger, provides Broadmoor Police with the same legal recognition and status of a city or municipal police department.

While residents of the unincorporated community of Broadmoor are accustomed to an effective and high quality police force, there are times when residents must be referred to the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office because state law currently does not grant full municipal police powers to the local protection district.
Broadmoor Police provide all the services of a municipal police department and therefore they should be granted all the same rights and privileges as well,” said Yee.
In Broadmoor, we are proud to have our own police force and a department that is equipped to handle all the requests and responsibilities of a law enforcement agency,” said Police Chief Gregory Love.
