[edit] Public Safety

Residents live in the Broadmoor Police Protection District, the last operational police district in the state of California. A special assessment funds the Broadmoor Police Department, which was founded in 1948 after residents grew concerned of long response times from the San Mateo County Sheriff's Department -- most of whose deputies are based in the southern end of the county. Fire protection is provided by the volunteer Colma Fire Department.
