Police and Fire Public Safety Building Project

CIP #42020

Welcome to the project website!  

The City of Placerville Police Department (Police) and the El Dorado County Fire Protection District (Fire) initiated a needs assessment that was 

mutually approved by both the City Council and Fire Board in a joint meeting held on November 29, 2022 to identify the significant deficiencies and potential 

solutions of both the Placerville Police Station located at 730 Main Street and Fire Station 25, located at 3034 Sacramento Street in Placerville. 

Both facilities have reached or surpassed the end of their useful service life and are struggling to meet the daily operational needs of the community 

they serve.

The Final Needs Assessment can be viewed here.

Based on the findings within the needs assessment and past needs assessments, the governing bodies (Placerville City Council and 

El Dorado County Fire Protection District Board) directed staff to pursue funding, environmental clearance, design, and construction of a 

new joint Police and Fire Public Safety Building to address immediate and future needs of the community. The governing bodies will also 

consider and determine the future of the existing facilities including repurposing opportunities related to other non-emergency community 

services and needs.
