Recent state legislation and regulations require substantial emission reductions in air pollution and greenhouse gases.  Federal legislation will also play a major role in tackling our air quality challenges.  The AQMD works with communities to educate the public about the air quality challenges that affect Southern California.

Palm Desert Sheriff Station Grand Opening and Open House- October 12 10:30 a.m.

Supervisor John J. Benoit will join Sheriff Stan Sniff, county officials, and community leaders at the grand opening and open house of the new Palm Desert Sheriff’s Station to be held on Oct. 12 at 10:30 a.m.  The station is located at 73-700 Gerald Ford Drive in the City of Palm Desert.

The 82,000 square-foot facility is one of the largest Sheriff’s stations in Riverside County, headquarters for about 220 Sheriff’s deputies and other staff who serve the Cities of Indian Wells, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and unincorporated communities north of I-10.  The three police agencies moved out of the former 26,000 square-foot station at Palm Desert Civic Center in Aug.

The $32,916,400 structure features skylights and solar panels, helping to reduce utility costs by 20 percent and becoming the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) silver certified building constructed by Riverside County.

Vastly improved features include interview rooms wired with audiovisual equipment and lockers with their own air-flow system to dry body armor.  Other improvements include a heliport for emergency landings and a 19,784-square-foot evidence warehouse.
