Ground is broken on the San Mateo County Sheriff's headquarters in 2022.
The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office will operate out of a new headquarters in downtown Redwood City starting Monday.
Ten divisions of the Sheriff’s Office will be moving into a five-story building at 330 Bradford St. that was formerly the Old Maguire Jail across the street from the Sheriff’s Office’s current headquarters at the Hall of Justice, where it has been located for more than 60 years, according to a county spokesperson.
The county approved a $35 million conversion of 53,000 square feet of detention space for office use after the jail was relocated when the Maple Street Correctional Center was completed in 2016.
Funding was also provided by The Arrillaga Foundation and the late John Arrillaga Sr., a Silicon Valley real estate developer who died in 2022. The building is named after Arrillaga.
The facility includes an executive conference room dedicated to the memory of the late San Mateo County Supervisor and Sheriff Don Horsley, who died in November.
The building will provide better communication, coordination and efficiency for the Sheriff’s Office, along with allowing more access for the public, according to a county budget report on the project. The building was also designed to maximize energy efficiency.
San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus said that as the mission of the Sheriff’s Office evolves, so must its facilities.
“Serving as the heart of our community-facing services, this modernized facility brings our major public facing bureaus under one roof, offers amenities that prioritize the well-being of our employees, and much more. We welcome San Mateo County to our new headquarters, and we look forward to serving the community from this location for the next 60 years and beyond,” Corpus said.
The building will house the Civil Bureau, the Corrections Administrative Classification Unit, the Investigations Bureau, the Fiscal Bureau, the Headquarters Patrol Bureau, the Professional Standards Bureau, the Property and Evidence Bureau, the Records Bureau, Sheriff’s Administration, and the Technical Services Bureau.
The move from the Hall of Justice will free up 40,000 square feet of office space for other county government use.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held in the next few months.

When she was campaigning for Sheriff. Corpus was not in favor of building this facility. Even suggested she would not fund it. How things change, depending on which way the wind blows.
