Accessing the Sheriff's Office is about to get easier on U.S. 280.
The Shelby County Sheriff's Office North Substation, located in Greystone Park, will hold its grand opening on Monday, Oct. 19.
The substation was completed in June, but small issues delayed the office's opening. Sheriff John Samaniego first got the idea for a substation in North Shelby County while he was on the campaign trail.
Samaniego said he heard over and over that there was a need for a new substation serving the thousands of homes and businesses in the north part of the county. The 280 corridor is also one of the busiest patrol areas for sheriff’s deputies.
“This is in a crossroads to six different [patrol] beats,” Samaniego said of the substation, which is located between Doug Baker Boulevard and Eagle Point.
The grand opening will start at 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 19, and members of the community are welcomed to tour the substation and learn more about the substation's services from Samaniego. A short reception will follow the official opening.
Hours of operation are 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The substation is located at 5511 U.S. 280, Suite 117.
