The Sheriff’s Command Center is nestled in a mixed-income commercial/residential/agricultural setting that is located within the Village of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque community. The traditional New Mexican village-like setting struggles to defy time as it attempts to survive the ever-encroaching urban influences of Albuquerque and north Fourth Street. The community based Command Center reinforces its connection with the past while standing as a bridge to the future, and a symbol of professional integrity, permanence, and dedication to public protection and service.
