A substation of the Poway Station, the 4S Ranch
Substation was opened in November 2007. The
substation serves
the 4S Ranch community, an unincorporated area
surrounded by Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Santa Fe, Black
Mountain Ranch, Rancho Peñasquitos and Lake Hodges.
PATROL
Patrol deputies respond to calls for service, patrol the
community, conduct preliminary investigations and aid
the station detective with in-depth follow-up
investigations, attend community events such as
neighborhood watch meetings and make presentations to
youth groups and schools.
All patrol deputies are trained in the C.O.P.P.S.
(Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving)
philosophy and in partnership with area residents
develop solutions to community and quality of life
issues.
DETECTIVES
Detectives are responsible for investigating all
general crime cases and arrests made by patrol
deputies. Once a detective determines there is
enough evidence to prove a specific person or persons
committed a crime, an arrest can be made or the
investigation could be forwarded to the San Diego County District
Attorney’s Office for review and prosecution.
